Not watched it yet but it could be good. Decent length tv documentary aired on British tv this week.

    Been on ITV - s'OK, nothing massively special but a good watch. The VickyP one is much better!

    It was OK. It's a bit cobbled together. It was shown on TV during the Tour then after he won it and they'd added in sections showing his victory. There's not much in there beyond what is in his biography and in Moore's book but there are a few nice interviews (esp like the one with Maurice Burton).

    Exactly - nothing new in the Wiggo documentary, but VP's screened the day before was very touching I thought.

    They're was hardly any or no footage at all of his time at Festina or FdJ which I thought was a shame.

    It was pretty average, they didn't dig very deep and basically just talked about things that are common knowledge like his track medals. Though they were going to watch him train, see his rise through the road ranks etc, but no, none of that.
