- DirectorMark CraigStarsTimothy BlockJohn CoombsBette HillGraham Hill was one of the most colourful characters in British Motorsport history. The dashing driver was twice Formula One World Champion and is the only driver ever to win the Triple Crown of Motorsport-the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500 and either the Monaco Grand Prix or the Formula One World Drivers' Championship. This evocative profile explores just how Graham achieved his childhood dreams and became a name that even non-Motorsport fans recognise. This portrait of the eccentric, charismatic British motor racing legend Graham Hill, a man who lived and died during a time when sex was safe and racing was dangerous, charts his career from his first race to his shocking death in a plane crash, you can't help but wish you didn't know the ending. The documentary features interviews with his wife Bette, son Damon and daughters Brigitte and Samantha. Formula 1 drivers including Jackie Stewart make an appearance, as do his long suffering BRM and Lotus mechanics and some of his closest friends. It all makes for a wonderful tribute with stories from the heart about this man who swam against the tide to become one of the words greatest racing drivers. Apart from his "big" achievements its easy to forget some of the details, such as winning the Indy 500 at his first attempt, winning for Lotus first race back after Clark had been killed, winning three times in a row at Monaco for BRM (5 wins in total) and coming back from his knee snapping shunt at Watkins Glen in 1969 with Rob Walkers team in 1970 and finishing in a creditable 6th position. Setting up his own team has often been viewed as a failure, but of course in the right context its a huge thing to achieve, even if the results did not come. By all accounts he was the life of the party and engaging company and will be remembered for some classic quotes including: "I'm an artist, the track is my canvas, and the car is my brush." and "Time is of the essence and I don't have much essence left." In November 1975, when Hill was returning from the Paul Ricard circuit, France. Graham was killed when the Piper Aztec aeroplane he was piloting crashed whilst attempting to land in foggy conditions at the Arkley Golf Course in North London. The crash resulted in not only the death of Hill but team manager Ray Brimble, mechanics Tony Alcock and Terry Richards, up-and-coming driver Tony Brise and designer Andy Smallman; all members of the Embassy Hill team. The subsequent inquiry questioned his decision not to divert to another airfield. Hill was uninsured and his estate was successfully sued by the families of the other victims. Settling the claims wiped out the Hill estate and the family was left to start again.

- DirectorJean Claude GuiterStarsAyrton SennaNo driver can claim more loyalty or devotion from fans of Formula One than Ayrton Senna. His passion, commitment and sheer intensity helped to elevate F1 from elite sport to the level of a calling. The way he drove a qualifying lap showed a hint of the divine - he himself described his performance as being near transcendent, an out-of-body experience. For his supporters across the world his driving was on a plane above his contemporaries, and his reserved and aloof character only added to the mystique. This programme was the first to try to delve behind the public persona and get to grips with Ayrton the man, rather than Senna as the media portrayed him. Racing is in My Blood delves into the Brazilian's background to disentangle the various strands that combined to weave the remarkable talent behind the man often described as the "greatest racing driver ever." This is an incredibly intimate and fascinating portrayal of a man who redefined motorsport for a generation and continues to enthrall today. Watching this classic 1992 programme it is hard not to feel that the world was robbed of a truly unique character at Imola in 1994.

- DirectorTravis LongMarshall PruettStarsHelio CastronevesTony KanaanRick MearsThe question on December 20th, 1992, was whether Ayrton Senna, the world's most famous race car driver, would turn his back on Formula 1 for America and Roger Penske's IndyCar team. The Brazilian, a three-time F1 champion with the McLaren-Honda team, was in the southwestern state of Arizona, just outside of Phoenix, to test a Penske PC21-Chevy as the holidays approached. Would Senna, one of grand prix racing's all-time greats, actually step away from the struggling McLaren team to sample the Indy 500? Was he prepared to replace Monaco with Milwaukee, or Italy for Cleveland? Twenty-five years later, on the anniversary of an event simply known as 'The Test," Senna's day in the desert with his countryman Emerson Fittipaldi, Indy legend Rick Mears, and the young Canadian upstart Paul Tracy has become a fascinating footnote in his beloved career. It also remains the one and only time Senna orbited IndyCar racing. And, shortly after the test, the real reason for his brief American flirtation was revealed. SENNA: The Test, is the first longform documentary made by motor racing writer/reporter Marshall Pruett, done in collaboration with veteran filmmaker Travis Long.
