?"Been a while since we've had one of these, and the nights are drawing in, so I need something new to watch. A few to get things going.. ""Cold War"" (1998) Series made by the same people who did 'The World at War'. Covers the period from 1945 to 1991. This is episode 1, the same person's put up all the other episodes too.. ""To Mars by A-Bomb: The Secret History of Project Orion"" (2002) BBC film about the Cold War era plan to build an ocean liner-sized spaceship, propelled by endless external nuclear explosions. Fascinating from start to finish. ""Reggae"" (1971) Film about the 1970 Wembley reggae festival. Live clips, interviews, etc. If you like old ska/reggae you'll love it. "

Watched one about 3D printing a few days ago. Sound boring but it's pretty good stuff. The guy who ran one of the companies (maker bot) deserved a good kicking.

The one about backing singers i think its called 20 yards from the front or something like that. talks to backing singers such as the bird who sings on Gimme Shelter with the Stones...interesting how it was made and they really are the unsung heroes..who sing....

The Armstrong Lie. You'll find it on Vimeo. Makes you realise what an utter cսnt he is (and those that defended him) despite the amount of money he raised for charity due to his celebrity.
