Ludwig on BBciplayer.

Wasn't taken by the first episode, think i fell asleep 1/2 way through.

Gave it another shot, so glad I did. It seems Columbo inspired (maybe that American Sherlock series even, socially inept genius solves crimes.

Think i have guessed the "Brother" riddle

Tried and failed, may try again

Four Kings (Prime).

Documentary about Bruno, Lewis, Benn and Eubankths.

Really fucking interesting and enjoyable.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I'm assuming there's going to be a follow on series, if her book is anything to go by

I hope so

Yeah I said the same earlier in the thread. It’s not high art or anything, it’s throwaway tv that’s done increasingly better throughout the series. Mitchell and whoever plays his wife are great in it.

I ended up binging it on iPlayer.

There was also a series called " The Kings" about Duran, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard and their battles in and out of the ring.
Not sure what channel it was on but great nostalgia and unbelievable boxing.

I hope so

Thought it was OK, but not as good as I was expecting......without giving it away too much to those who haven't watched, I thought the appearance of 'someone' in the last episode was beyond obvious ;)

The Kings (2021) was a four part series shown in the UK on Sky Documentary HD, its still available to watch on Amazon Prime.

Thanks
Well worth watching by our younger poster's
4 guys at the top against each other.
Probably the boxing equivalent of Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic.

It’s on Prime mate and on my to do list :)

Finished The Rings of Power and it 100% picked up in the last 2/3 episodes after a very slow start. Quite a few storylines come together and start to make sense to a novice Tolkien fan. Episodes 1-5 id of said 5/10. Episodes 6-8 pull it up to a very good 8/10.

More documentary than drama but I’m watching Parole on iplayer. Interesting programme. Some real wrong un’s amongst them but some that do seem to have progressed and changed. Always a difficult decision for the parole board but these early releases now are probably bypassing that. I don’t think releasing people into hostels is a particularly good idea though. Seems to end up with most being recalled to prison!

Gets me how prisoners who have escaped from cat d jails and got several disciplinary reports are even considered for parole.

I'm no tennis fan but Murray wasn't in the same bracket as the other three, was he?

No but he always seemed to be playing against one of them.

 

[Stephen230]

It’s a freak occurrence really that all four of them were born within six years of each other.

You could quite easily make a valid case that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are the three greatest male tennis players in history.

And yet Murray, while clearly not quite in that class, competed competitively with them throughout his whole career.

And he even managed to be the number one ranked player for one year, right when the other three were in their prime.

Best time in boxing for me although I loved the Eubank Benn Watson Collins period as well.

A pair of sociopaths.

Having now watched the other documentary where they talk to the brothers and about what’s nit in the tv series I now don’t know that they git a fair hearing, the judge (the same in both trials) doesn’t allow any witness in support of the brothers or a lot of the evidence, it all comes on the back of the OJ case so the state needed a “win” and it looks like the fuck the lads over a fair trial.

I was at the two Eubank Collins fights.
I got rightly pissed at the first one in Millstreet.
I was staying at a friend's house which was about 3 miles outside the town. I was walking home to it in the early hours of the morning and fell into a ditch. I got myself together and continued walking. About an hour later I spotted bright lights and realised I was back in Millstreet again, after leaving it about 2 hours earlier.

There is a very good film/ documentary released recently on the Collins Eubank fight

Slow Horses on Apple TV is definitely worth a months free trial. Gary Oldman is great in it, there are a few shocks here and there but it's also good fun
