But it is on YouTube which is where I saw it, having no access to iPlayer. Still, don't wait. Watch it now - it's fascinating. Curtis' documentary style makes great use of old obscure footage with some wicked chillout backbeats to accompany it. His films are worth looking at for the music along.
its been some while since i read it. Its much more intellectual than a Sven Hessel, but i don't recall it being an brain-straining treatise on the socio - economic implications of a different end to WW2. A good novel id say, probably worth a read if you can get it from your local library.

Have just finnished "survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk, here on holiday. It's a good read and takes you into the dark mind of the author. Also "choke" is another good example. My daughters boyfriend gave me Down and out on Paris and London by George Orwell and The Road to Nab End to read whilst away. Finished the first one just getting into the second. Oh the hols going fine !
Just finished Guy Martins biography and now cracking through Nick Sanders The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man vol 1. Martin's book is lets say, the equivalent of reading The Sun while Sander's is more The Times. The first few chapters are more interesting than the whole of Martin's book. Thats not to say Martin's book is crap, its like talking to a bloke in the chippy about bikes and trucks albeit one who knows his stuff. Sander's book tells a story, captures the reader with its raw emotion, humour and incredible desire to escape the mundane. Highly recommend both but for different reasons.
