I take it that it is Graeme Obree, and not the steam loco?

 

[vernon]

If it was 60103 then I'd watch.

 

[Dave Davenport]

Pity it's such a poor film. IMHO

 

[Renard]

I disagree. I think its a feel good film and might encourage or at least give some people an insight to the attractions of our hobby.

fingers crossed it will be on iplayer!

Is this the documentary when he and Boardman were battling it out for the record, and Obree built his bike using the washing machine bearing?

 

[3narf]

Oh, right! I didn't realise they'd (They PLC) had made the story into a film.

Does Robert Carlyle play him? Always thought they looked a bit alike...

 

[fossyant]

Not a bad film at all. Certainly watchable.
