Stewart is an interesting subject - I'm a fan of him and the sport, but I found this documentary fairly annoying.
I particularly get annoyed at all of the archive footage with a modern commentator putting on a funny accent and made to sound like it was recorded at the time.
It simply doesn't sound real, and they use it very clumsily to try and insert some unrelated point (e.g how far he's come from working in a garage, that his wife is watching, etc.), or to try to create a forced narrative.
I think it would be much better to have a narrator.
Even the actual recordings from the archive footage have obviously been over processed and don't sound real at all.
I did enjoy many of the 60s and 70s archive clips - at least the visuals.
