I remember it yeah, it was quite a good program IIRC. Does anyone remember a series call The Power and The Glory that was on BBC2 a few years earlier I have it on Video that was a good program too.

The McLaren thing we recorded on VHS, and then we recorded the 1994 Brazilian GP onto the end of it.
I haven't the foggiest idea where it is now. |

The McLaren programme was excellent - I remember seeing it at the time.
Part of me doesn't want to watch it again, seeing Ayrton talking about a future which he was never to have.... |

I've got the whole of the McLaren series on tape still..... Brilliant. The story of Ayrton and the team at Monaco was fantastic.
I also have the double Power and the Glory vid as well...... |

I managed to obtain a copy and it was as I remembered - a very good programme
( except the pan pipe type backing music used within - although of its time) As Kicking-back said its strange to see Ayrton Senna talk about the future although even more strange for me was his obsession with death, in the way that he talks about it. For those that don't know - It followed a different area of the team during different stages of the year for each of the episodes - Test team, PR, Race team ,Senna, Andretti and Mika Hakkinen’s first race weekend for the team - one part was just as I remembered after not seeing it for 11 years- Hakkinen driving Ron Dennis to a circuit and the banter between them seeing the start of the a bond between them with Ron saying 'this one is going to be trouble' |

1993 was before I got into F1. Sounds like it was a good programme.

DVD? Presumably someone copied from VCR to DVD - I certainly haven't seen a pre-recorded version for sale - ever.......?

Oh, yes, it's a rip. But looks rather well done.

I thought the series about McLaren was simply called 'The Team'. I did contact the programme makers about buying copies of each episode but at £50.00 each I thought it too expensive. It would be great if the Beeb released this on DVD. I'd happily part with £20 for it - an excellent insight.
And as for The Power & The Glory. Simply stunning ... |

Available at around twenty notes on eBay, Jonny. Whilst I'd dearly love to put this money into the BBC coffers they left me no option but to go for something slightly less than genuine. Still it is a very good quality copy and I'm happy.
