Dont really care what subject it's on, just needs to be a good one. Have seen most of Attenborough's stuff so none of that.

The hour-long episode of one of Ray Mears' series where he made a birch bark canoe in Canada. One of the finest hours of telly watching I've ever spent.

Hell and Back Again - Tuesday 10pm on More4.
Proper in-the-moment observational documentary, not the usual storyboarded, illustrated polemic
But see it on the big screen if you can, its popping up in cinemas here and there.

A Sunday in Hell
Chasing Legends

A sunday in hell is excellent. I watched Thriller in Manila last night, recorded from C4 on Friday so may be available on demand, which I thought was very good and topical. Continuing that theme "When they were kings" was excellent as well.

EARTHLINGS Narrated by Joaquin Pheonix, but don't let that put you off. Full length film and very watchable. It'll make you question the shoes on your feet, the wool on your back and the meat on your plate. If you're not donating to PETA after watching, in floods of guilty tears then either you're SBZ or there's something up with you.

Really enjoyed this, when it was on the other night:
Richard Grant's American Nomads on iPlayer
BBC Four well worth keeping an eye on for good documentaries. Loads of good stuff on there.

Oh - yeah saw that and really, really enjoyed it. Reminded me there's another way of life if I ever need it! Made me want to up and off with nothing but a knife and a $20 bill.

when we were kings is a favourite of mine about the rumble in the jungle.
there was a great one about big wave surfing on BBC4 the
other night called riding giantsPosted 5 months ago # -
Caught it on BBC 4 recently. The history of big wave surfing. Very humbling when you consider the price you pay when you get it wrong.

+1 Riding Giants.
More about the watching rather than the listening, if that makes any sense. Awsome footage.
Slightly different, Adam Curtiss has made some interesting stuff. Usually quite a rambling watch with loads of random interesting topics loosely related by a common underlying theme. The latest was "All watched over by machines of loving grace" but some of the earlier work was probably better.Posted 5 months ago # -
Current TV channel just had a ,50 documentaries to see before you die, season. Some of it was superb. Some I'd seen before.
Supersize Me. (Prob already seen this one)
Jesus Camp. ( follows children at a christian summer camp. Genuinely frightning at times).
King of Kong. About 2 guys competing for the world record highest score in the old school Donkey Kong game. Sounds a bit naff, but it is absolutely riveting. Good vs bad, excitement and corruption!
Enron:The Smartest Guys in the Room. Well its about Enron and rather briliiant.
And as youre on a mtb forum, Krunkerz. Again you've probably seen it already though.
