This may be an odd detail to pick up on, but the sound quality of the backing music was excellent. (Damn, I've got good speakers!)
Great programme, covered similar ground to the book More Fire: How to Run the Kenyan Way but it was good to see the actual training. "Rudisha's looking a bit sluggish today"... yeah, course he is.
I shall build a time machine so I can go back and record this. Just hope the VHS deck makes it back with me in one piece. Maybe there is another solution, just can't think of it right now....?
from what i understand of time machines(from listening to ProfBrian cox) you can only go forward in time.
as to another possible solution...
BBC4 tend to repeat programmes for a couple of days or even a week after the first showing. The repreats tend to be in the middle of nigh, say 2:00 or 3:00.
Would be worth checking the listings for a couple days forward.
Slimline thanks very much for the heads up about this programme. Just watched it. Brilliant. Wish I could kick my feet up like these guys. They are so elegant.
just for everyone's info it's repeated again during the middle of the night this Friday on BBC 4 - set your recorders/players/tivo/skywotsit thingies to record it!
