Should be on sky arts catch up still.

Watched the story of the boxing gangster Daniel Kinnihan, really good watch. Barry McGuigan was interviewed and could hear in his voice that he was intimidated by Kinnihan and his cohorts. McGuigan said he lost a few of his boxers to Kinnihans stable MTK Global, didnt realise Josh Taylor was one of them

Although the Kinahans are bad news and do terrible things the only person to blame for Barry McGuigan losing fighters is himself for being less than honest with their cash

I dont really know too much about the McGuigans to be honest mate, other than Barry was a great boxer., still, wouldnt fancy going toe to toe with them or the Kinnihans

This is really enjoyable btw.

Some connections to edinburgh including the King Kong that was at ingilston!

[Hibrandenburg]

Not a documentary as such but Darren McGarvey's "Class Wars" is a good watch so far. Putting aside his nasal weedgie accent (that he admits he cultivates), it's a great concept for analysis. I can relate a lot to the conundrum of class dismorphism that he is looking at amongst other phenomenon in this series. If there is such a thing as upper upper class then I stem from a lower lower class background and am still at least mentally imprisoned within its walls despite probably now living what might be described as a middle class life. The first episode has made me reconsider how I actually perceive myself and sheds a bit of light on some of my own inner conflicts.

Was a good watch. Not sure if it was by design or accident but the use of old footage to fill some gaps showed how both Stewart Lee and his subject matter had similarly aged and dated.

Crime Scene: The Vanishing at The Cecil Hotel that’s just come on Netflix today looks like it could be very good.

Crime Scene: The Vanishing at The Cecil Hotel that’s just come on Netflix today looks like it could be very good.

One of these ones that took 4 episodes when it could have been done in one. I watched a YouTube video on this a few years ago and didn’t learn anything new from the Netflix show that I didn’t already know from a 10 minute YT video, other than some creepy guy wants to visit her grave for closure.

I said the same on the Best TV thread. A really intriguing story but the doc was ruined because each episode for 30 minutes of waffle and filler.

I've just finished Rising Phoenix on Netflix all about the formation and growth of the Paralympics. Really interesting story.

[Northernhibee]

I think what the Cecil hotel documentary did do well is showing how internet conspiracies and the like can be so damaging, so quickly. From saying that someone in the hotel is in on it, to the police, to a musician, to goodness knows what with evidence that was just speculation that spread like wildfire, to allow that story room to breathe made the fairly simple story at the end more striking.

Still could have cut at least one more episode out of it though.

Just re-watched the Bros comeback documentary from a couple of years ago. The GF hadn’t seen it and was convinced it was a parody or piss take. Absolutely hilarious!

Anyone been watching the Channel 5 series Greatest hits of the 70’s/80’s
There have been loads of these sort on over the years, but I really loved the 70’s one

It’s amazing. I meant to come back to this thread yesterday to post it, forgot and then spent most of today trying to remember which documentary i was going to add. Happy coincidence that you’ve posted it.

I'm not usually a fan of these type of programmes but am enjoying these. Agree the 70's was very good. Some of the stories about the mixing of the music in the studio is really interesting.
