*sees that the recommendation is for another true crime documentary*

Max Mosley - It's Complicated, basically ignore every gutter press story about the man which took place completely consensually in his own private life. Some people like Snickers clothing and a hard hat of a Saturday night and are not led to the gallows, some prefer other 'stuff'. He likely has saved a few 100k lives around the world for his extensive campaigns on car safety, starting off in F1 and progressing in to car crash testing and onwards to this testing in basket case developing countries like India where there's 300 plus people dying a day on the roads. He was involved in the setup of Euro NCAP testing which benchmarks safety for cars sold in the EU today, cars like the Mini Metro which these NCAP tests exposed as complete death traps that were subsequently taken off the road. He said he would finance any of the News International phone hacking cases should any fail, took down Murdoch and Co at the time. Thank you Max for your service to automobiling and life, RIP.

Watched this tonight, really enjoyed it.

BBC have a top notch documentary available called a killing in tiger bay...it is terrific 3 episodes in total I would recommend going into it blind

Which player is this on, can't find it? Looked in RTE and BBC players.

Found the three episodes on YouTube in case anyone can't find them elsewhere.

Episode 1:

Episode 2:

Episode 3:

I failed to see exactly why Alanis felt so betrayed by the final edit to the extent that I'm very curious to hear where her issues lie. I'm assuming certain elements were given more weight than she'd have liked?

Overall I thought it was average enough to be honest. A little scattered I guess.

Can this be streamed anywhere?

Enjoyed this, mad ending.

Not sure if I recommended it before but just noticed the terrific "next goal wins" is available on now TV.

It's about the American Samoa national football team who suffered the biggest defeat in international football (31-0 to Australia) it focuses a lot on a Dutch coach called Thomas Rongen who comes into coach them, really excellent imo

Worth watching before the Hollywood film version comes out, it has been long delayed (I am guessing due to Armie Hammer being in the cast - Michael Fassbender is the lead and it is directed by Taika Watiti)

Some excellent stuff on there...I adored the truffle hunters doc!

I watched this one on sky a while back it is very good fun!

I don't think I could deal with the broken limbs!

I really liked this. It was a nice trip down memory lane with some great music. She came across as decent, grounded, humorous and brutally honest about herself without looking for any sympathies.

Sky Documentaries on NOW are so bad at highlighting new additions to the channel. I have to browse through their entire catalogue to identify recent releases.

I had no idea that there have been some major additions in recent weeks.

The entire Music Box series including the Alanis episode talked about above. I'm guessing that's why more people are discussing that episode lately.

Val, the Val Kilmer documentary, which is on Amazon Prime in the US but has now popped up here.

And the Hulu WeWork documentary is now available to view too.

These all seem like pretty high profile releases but even as someone who goes out of their way to try track this, I find the lack of visibility very frustrating.

Problem solved. Just Watch have finally decided to split NOWs entertainment and cinema packages so all of a sudden I am no longer reliant on their own software. Turns out a few have been added to Sky Arts without me knowing too (David Byrnes American Utopia and The Painter and the Thief).
