It does paint Pironi as the bad guy, despite him being nothing worse than the typical self-absorbed racing driver.

Some fun behind the scenes shots and interviews with the stars. But repetition seems to be the formula here with a bunch of quotes being rolled out 3 or 4 times for padding. - DirectorRupert EdwardsStarsRowan AtkinsonMel SmithLenny HenryThe story behind "the funny little wiggly man".7/10
- 7/10
A lot of interesting behind the scenes footage but nothing that most fans wouldn't already know. - Dunno why this page is incomplete, it has been broadcast.

- StarsPark DietzWendy PatrickusAnne E. SchwartzSerial killer Jeffrey Dahmer confesses to his gruesome crimes in unguarded interviews, offering an unsettling view into a disturbed mind.It's irritating that thanks to lazy cops and a broken justice system, he managed to kill more than if he'd been properly policed.
I don't think this docu needed to be 3x 1hr episodes though. - DirectorCraig HooperStarsDon AireyRobert EzrinIan GillanThree weeks before the official launch date of the new album "inFinite" of rock legend Deep Purple CineStar presents the accompanying film "From Here To InFinite" on the big screen. The exclusive cinema premiere of the film, which offers captivating insights into the genesis of the upcoming studio album, took place on March 16,, 2017 at 8pm. In addition, fans can hear for the first time and world-exclusive three songs from the brand new album "inFinite". "From Here To InFinite" accompanies five legendary musicians on their moving journey to Nashville to record their latest album - and once again find out that the power of music and friendship will never end. As close as in this 90-minute film, Deep Purple never had cameras close by. The new studio album "inFinite" of the recently recorded Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musicians was released on April 7, 2017 and is the successor of the worldwide chart success and in Germany with Gold Award-winning album "NOW What ?!". In May, Deep Purple in Germany will go on "inFinite - The Long Goodbye" tour.7/10
The band must like the producer otherwise they wouldn't have him but he makes out that what they're doing is all for him and a re-record is wholly dependant on whether or not he likes something. He comes across as full of himself and patronising, to the viewer. - DirectorIain ThompsonAlex MucadumStarsRowan AtkinsonPeter Bennett-JonesRichard CurtisA documentary looking back at the thirty years since comedy legend Mr Bean landed on our screens. With classic clips and interviews from key creators, including Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis.7/10
- StarsSigourney WeaverJames CameronBrian SkerryFilmed across three years in 24 locations, the 4-part event series it's a profoundly personal saga, venturing deep into the world of whales to reveal life and love from their perspective.7/10
Sigourney is a great narrator but the script was dumbed down to the point of stupid. Also it sadly it sticks to the types of Whale that have already been covered extensively by other Docu's. - DirectorBryan FogelStarsBryan FogelDave ZabriskieDon CatlinWhen Bryan sets out to uncover the truth about doping in sports, a chance meeting with a Russian scientist transforms his story from a personal experiment into a geopolitical thriller.7/10

- DirectorEric BanaStarsEric BanaJeremy ClarksonSteve CoadWhat if you were a Hollywood movie star with an obsession for cars and racing? You would probably read every script with even the tiniest link to the subject matter, in the hope that you could tell a great car story of the likes of "Grand Prix", "Le Mans" or "Mad Max". Then one day you happened to open your garage door and sitting there, right in front of you, was the film you had been searching for. This is what happened to Eric Bana and this time around, the co-star is his very own Ford GT Falcon Coupe- THE BEAST. Eric realized the story was in fact, about him, his first car, a lifetime of ownership and a lifetime of friendship. He set about documenting his own 25 year long love story. A simple tale of one man's ongoing relationship with his very first car. After years of precious restoration, Eric and his 3 closest friends, decided to enter the car into one of the most grueling and dangerous motor races that exists: The Targa Tasmania Rally. This would be a personal Everest for both man and machine, until...on day 4 of the race, tragedy strikes. The man who was hell bent on trying to convey how much he and those around him loved "THE BEAST", had just destroyed it. Eric has now unwillingly cast himself in his own real life drama. We follow him from inside the race car to the surreal world of the red carpet. This compelling true story follows Eric's progression as a car lover, and as a person conflicted by what he has done. The personal and social pressures mount up in the face of re building a car that means so much to him. Along the way Eric seeks guidance and wisdom from not only the inner sanctum of his 3 life long friends but also Jay Leno, Jeremy Clarkson, and Dr Phil.7/10

Amusingly for a documentary about music, there's not much in the way of music. I downloaded it in the hope of it giving me ideas for artists to try but i was no better off at the end of the programme than i was at the beginning. - DirectorTim DelmastroStarsChris BroadNatsuki AsoA film about cats. And Japan. And a bewildered British guy. But mostly cats.6/10

There's a whole bunch of over-dramatising which lends itself well to the music video that inspired me to check out this documentary. But as an account of the Red Flag exercise it leaves a lot to be desired. - DirectorSimon KerslakeStarsJo UnwinDaryl MeissnerJim SouthA documentary about Traci Lords, one of the most popular American porn stars of the 1980s, who almost brought down the industry when it was discovered that she had been under 18 years old.5/10

Includes commentary from UFO experts and researchers.4/10
An informative movie but not for the reasons you think. It shows the power of loyalty between humans when fabricating events for ulterior motive. - DirectorMark LevinsonStarsDavid KaplanFabiola GianottiSherwood BoehlertAs the Large Hadron Collider is about to be launched for the first time, physicists are on the cusp of the greatest scientific discovery of all time -- or perhaps their greatest failure.4/10
The programme is summed-up by a professor who relates a story of two theories and wanting to find out which one is correct. It's been 30 years since he started, and he's still not got the answer. Apparently physicists enjoy wasting their lives. As for the Documentary: It's boring! - StarsTom SelleckScott BakerJohn CalambokidisSupported by the National Geographic Society, the world's eminent blue whale scientists embark on a revolutionary mission: to follow migrating blue whales all the way to the long-sought, unknown location where they give birth.4/10
The human to whale ratio being filmed is far too high. And they seem to gleefully show the viewer lots of dead whales and very few living ones. - DirectorPenn JillettePaul ProvenzaStarsGeorge CarlinDon RicklesChris RockOne hundred superstar comedians tell the same very, VERY dirty, filthy joke--one shared privately by comics since Vaudeville.4/10
A docu about a single joke that's just about being as vulgar as possible with a crap punchline. It's not clever or funny. - DirectorSimon Napier-BellStarsOlly AlexanderBenny AnderssonSteve BlameAn examination of the lives and deaths of the six most famous members of the '27 Club' - musicians who have died aged 27: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse.4/10
There are more intricate details about the types and amounts of drugs the stars took than about their lives. Waste of time. - DirectorJohanna DemetrakasOdette SpringerStarsEdward AlbertSamuel Z. ArkoffLisa BoyleA woman working in the B movie industry begins examining the industry and the damaged, desperate people who work in it.3/10
Odette Springer needs counselling. Instead she made this heavily biased documentary as a means of lashing out at her childhood abusers.
A couple of people don't shower themselves with glory; notably Jim Wynorski who comes across as the B-Movie Harvey Weinstein and Maria Ford who will do anything for attention but then whine about what she had to do afterwards. Otherwise you hear from a lot of people who accept that they've found their level and just enjoy it. - DirectorRodney AscherStarsBill BlakemoreGeoffrey CocksJuli KearnsAn exploration of various interpretations of Stanley Kubrick's horror film, The Shining (1980).2/10
Is it serious, or a spoof?
