The Lance Armstrong Story - Stop at Nothing (BBC4 Storyville)

Thanks for the "heads up" Andy, I will try to watch it.

Have you ever read David Walsh's book - Seven Deadly Sins: My pursuit of Lance Armstrong.

It is in my opinion one of the best sporting books I have ever read.
 
No I haven't read it Andy. I find the whole Armstrong saga fascinating so this docu will be relatively new to me, no doubt it will cover old ground for others who have followed the story.

Be interesting nevertheless (y)
 
Recorded but not watched yet. There was a different one on Channel 4 last night (also recorded) did anyone see that?
 
I've still not watched it yet either. I didn't know about last nights one until it had started however I was able to record it on Ch4 +1 so I still have that too watch too.
 
I've watched both films now, and the content is pretty similar though the timeline in the CH 4 film jumps around a lot more.

You only really need to watch one to get the story, but it's worth watching both because most of the actual cycling footage is different.
 
I watched the BBC one last night, I thought it was really interesting - Lance comes across as quite a dark and scary character that you wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of! I found it a bit hard to follow in places as I don't know very much about proessional cycling or who a lot of the famous people were (except the cameo from Sheryl Crow!), and I would have liked more details in how he got away with it for so long - or do we not really know the answer to that?
