First of all, I would buy it again, but it didn't have the dynamics of Chariots of Fire or The Boy in Blue. It did have a good teaching behind it, for not only was it about Olympics' training, but about two young men from different social circles and how they overcame the status separation which was very prevalent at that time.

As I live in New Zealand and have an all regions DVD player I have the choice of buying from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk depending on how the exchange rate works out in NZ dollars. I usually prefer Amazon.co.uk as their postage rates are cheaper and DVDs arrive within ten days whereas from America it is more like 20-30 days. But I was surprised to see this little gem is not avaliable in the UK even though it is BBC so was glad to be able to get it from Amazon.com as the depiction of England struggling to put on the Olympics so soon after the war with bomb damage and food rationing was very telling. I particularly enjoyed Geoffrey Palmer as Dicky's grumpy stiff upper lip father with a heart of gold, Just one query. Did the BBC concert programme always have opera on the radio every day precisely at the time when the double sculls were competing?

You will love this movie if you are a fan of Matt Smith, are an over-achiever, or have issues with parental expectations.

I enjoyed this movie very much!
