Yeah, that was excellent. Mark Tibbs was also in it but Jimmy stood out.Deserter wrote:Also an honorable mention for that UK made-for-TV documentary that I think was just called 'Fighters' - featured Bradley Stone, Jimmy Flint etc. Must be about 20 years old now and remember people on here had mixed feelings about it, but I really enjoyed it.

yes it does qualify as a feature film IMO, and so does the follow up, the low budget improvised drama REAL MONEY. both are excellent. harry mullan hailed FIGHTERS as an outstanding film; didn't BM slag it off for not having pretty, polished, slick camerawork? or have i imagined it?Deserter wrote:Also an honorable mention for that UK made-for-TV documentary that I think was just called 'Fighters' - featured Bradley Stone, Jimmy Flint etc. Must be about 20 years old now and remember people on here had mixed feelings about it, but I really enjoyed it.
