Hi,
Jackie Stewart: The Flying Scot Documentary is on BBC2 (and BBC2 NI) this evening 6.30 to 8.00.

Documentary about Sir Jackie Stewart, winner of three Formula 1 world championships and 27 grand prix, ranked as one of the ten greatest racing drivers of all time, as well as being an icon of the 1960s and 70s era of style, glamour and speed. The film is an insight into the triumphs and tragedies of Stewart's eventful life, and includes contributions from friends and colleagues such as Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittipaldi, Sean Connery, Murray Walker, Edsel Ford and the late Ken Tyrrell.

(Stereo, Repeat, Widescreen, Subtitles)

Although in my listing magazine it doesn't show it as a repeat I feel that it has been on before?

Yes, it was on the night before the Jim Clark documentary was shown the other year.

Yes, was on BBC4 before, part of the Clark and Hill series. I still have to see the Clark one on TV but did see it on youtube.

Just checked the BBC site, it is listed there (I'm in Ireland so had first seen it on an Irish listings site).

Radio Times says "first shown on BBC4"
Perhaps you need a better quality listings magazine? :)

I found the book in " The Works " about 18 months ago I guess and it had the DVD of the documentary attached :)

I think they are two different things.

You're right Gary. The book was called Winning Is Not Enough as was the DVD.
