The World at War series should be on the national curriculum

In 1980 YTV made one of the funniest TV documentaries ever. - Titled "Another Bloody Sunday", the TV crew followed Doncaster Rugby Football Club as they fought Sunday after another bloody Sunday to avoid going a whole season without winning a single game. There for the last four games of the season the documentary saw the team battle without success until the very last fixture of the season when, in an almost fairy tale ending, the Dons managed a 6 -- 3 win against Huyton to avoid a season long whitewash.

Memory may be playing tricks, as it was such a long time ago, but as far as I remember this was a great watch.- particularly when focusing on the Doncaster player coach, Geoff Fletcher's, absolutely hilarious, team-talks.

That sounds brilliant

When we were kings, if you like boxing. Fantastic documentary about Mohammed Ali and George Foreman. Focused around the 'Rumble in the Jungle' and the Zaire music festival. Worth a watch.

Sounds awful but I just could't turn it off the people in it are fascinating, I thought it was a spoof for the first half of it, but to my delight it wasn't


apparently a number 2 should be coming out because they battled after the documentary was made

It is a hilarious watch. I don't know if they are making a sequel, but I do know there were plans to make a movie based on the 2 characters and their escapades.

Billy is inadvertently hilarious from his looks to the way he talks

but the best person in it is the noncey looking one who was Billys right hand man so funny

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but 'Bowling for Columbine' by Michael Moore is worth a view
