A *cough*rrent was released on some private trackers today by the scene, and hopefully it will be on some public ones soon. And I REALLY hope this will be bought by as many tv companies as possible.

Having seen just right now the first 30 minutes of this.... its excellent.

Just watched it on Iplayer. Amazing work. Marshall don't come out of it looking all that great!

True, but you have to look at it in the context of the time. Judging by the film a lot of people were looking for scapegoats...the schedule, the engines, Morton Thiokol, the weather...you can't blame people for looking over their shoulders in the wake of a public tragedy.

It was a very fast 90 minutes of life, invested watching the film. It evoked very well, memories of that day. It was the "system" that came under scrutiny, rather than individuals or organisations. Beautifully written and acted; Anglo American co-operation is a wonderful thing!

Very impressive!

Because of copyright.

Can you elaborate please? Unlikely the BBC would complain about a discussion about one of their programmes.

I also notice that several postings have been removed - including interesting observations on image format (4:3 and 16:9 etc.)

People were posting ripped copies to youtube and linking here. Was nothing to do with the discussion, was to do with copyright of the videos. Can be dangerous.

Yep, I agree!

Is there any way to view this now? I tried IPlayer but it appeared to be only for radio.

Thank you

Legal way: wait for a tv station viewable to you gets it. I doubt it will be released on a DVD, but netflix or similar could get it sometime in the future.
Illegal way: download a torrent. I will not say where and how, because according to the Finnish law, that would be a copyright violation too.

As mentioned earlier, this program is scheduled to air this fall in the U.S. on the Science Channel, after which it may become available for legal download via the iTunes store (or similar services) and perhaps be released on DVD.

Also means that it will return to IPlayer for a while for those who were asking

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #36 on:** 05/13/2013 04:23 pm »

Watched it again as it was shown. The voiceover person noted that it is "critically acclaimed" at the start, which is good to hear as it's brilliant.

Andy DC · « **Reply #37 on:** 05/16/2013 05:17 pm »

Can't wait to see this based on the very good feedback!

Available now on iTunes...I just downloaded it for £3.99 Uk Pounds. I was blown away by Mr Hurt's (surely award winning) impression of the great man. I know this is one family's idea of the disaster, but as this is not "an official" discourse, it rings truly. Full marks to all the other actors too - this is worthy for General Release.

This comes on US TV November 19th 9pm on both Discovery Channel and Science Channel.
