?"Been a while since we've had one of these, and the nights are drawing in, so I need something new to watch. A few to get things going.. ""Cold War"" (1998) Series made by the same people who did 'The World at War'. Covers the period from 1945 to 1991. This is episode 1, the same person's put up all the other episodes too.. ""To Mars by A-Bomb: The Secret History of Project Orion"" (2002) BBC film about the Cold War era plan to build an ocean liner-sized spaceship, propelled by endless external nuclear explosions. Fascinating from start to finish. ""Reggae"" (1971) Film about the 1970 Wembley reggae festival. Live clips, interviews, etc. If you like old ska/reggae you'll love it. "

"It's from 1968. A famous singer (at the time) called Georgia Brown goes back to where she was born and grew up in Whitechapel and documents how the area is changing, what with the jews moving out and new immigrants moving in. Some great shots of Petticoat Lane market, Deal St school (with ONE black kid) near Brick Lane, and various locations around Whitechapel and Commercial Road."

The latest Hillsborough doc from ESPN is worth watching. Brings it bank up to date and also delves more into the changeover in police and the massive balls up in the pre-planning of the services by someone who was a complete novice at football crowd control. Hard to watch in parts for anyone who's ever been to a football ground (so will be lost on the majority of WHO)

What's it about Edward?

"NS, have a look at that doc I put up earlier (Georgia Brown). I reckon you'll ike it."

kch.... Catching Hell? To be fair I have seen teh majority of teh ESPN 30/30 series and the other add on's and have not seen a bad one... even if you are not into American sports that are still really watchable... my personal fav is `Roll Tide/War Eagle'... makes our rivalry with Spurs look like a love in

the king of kong hoop dreams espn doc about the guy who caught the ball during a new york mets game (steve bartman ?)

"Watched the Georgia Brown East End doc last night. Very interesting, showing a load of Whitechapel in 1968. There were still loads of jews living in the area, but with more and more asians moving in. Not hard to see where the area was going. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7uW7koB7pw"

"King of Kong and the semi follow up Chasing hosts are good if you either used to go to the arcades a lot, or like laughing at complete geeks!"

"That Hells Angels 73 is the funniest thing I have seen in years... I don't care if it is not real (99% I reckon it is)... I was crying with laughter... I'd love to see them now... probably all dead though... beaten up by Grannies or died on their own ribena vomit... ""Hitler the half crazed Alsatian"" Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!"

"Watched the Hells Angel one, surely this is not a real documentary, although it’s made like one in the same way programs like the Office are with Ricky Gervais, well worth a watch though, had me in stitches at times. Thanks for posting"

"Joke whole Compared to what I watch you are indeed on a different planet of intelligence, though I like you enjoy Horizon too. I have occasionally come across something documentary wise that i thought was a bit high brow but actually ended up enjoying, but its rare."

Reach for the sky.

Just watched that hells angels 73 doc .has to be a fuckin spoof surely? The geezer driving the clapped out van to mad Johns missus gaff been awake for four days on pills. Day release from mental hospital some other cսnt. And I he barge business..not for real. No way

Just watched that 'Marvellous' as mentioned below - didn't realise it wasn't a documentary. Great watch though...

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. Great watch if you like that sort of thing.
