I stumbled across it a few months ago on a transatlantic flight, then watched it again the other night. I enjoyed it even though it has a sad end. He must have been a great guy to work with.

Have it on the hard drive of our Sky box waiting to finish watching. Amazing bloke, and I think it says a lot about the lasting respect for his achievements that the company uses a stylised Kiwi as the emblem for McLaren cars today.
