echo beach Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The Rescue. A documentary re the saving of the Wild Boar juvenile football team from the flooded cave in Thailand. Boy the bravery and innovation shown by the British amateur cave divers, plus the Thai Navy Seals and almost 5000 helpers from all around the world simply beggars belief. Mission impossible or so it seemed but they proved otherwise. Heart wrenching stuff! echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it with Mercedes, my girlfriend at that time, in ‘65 when it was released. Lord, is it really 59 years ago! echo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe it lost out on the best film Oscar to the schmaltz "The Sound of Music" at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the final 2 episodes of this series. What an arrogance of senior management decisions: demeaning of highly qualified engineers lower down the hierarchy & refusal to try & obtain the evidence of the Shuttle's damage. I'm surprised nobody was ever charged with corporate manslaughter. I'm sure those astronauts could have been saved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves. This series from 1980 is on Talking Pictures TV on Monday at 6:30 and repeated on Sunday afternoon. Everything a programme about the country should be, and everything Countryfile isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
