'marvellous' Tv Biopic Bbc2, I Think.

[Tilly2]

Met some friends for lunch yesterday who asked me if I had seen Marvellous, a tv film biopic of a man with learning difficulties who had a lot to do with Stoke City football club.

I didn't see it. Will I be able to find it on Sky at all, or I-player? I don't know where to look.

It was on BBC2 Tilly. Just got Oh to have a look and he says it's not on catch up anymore.

Sorry, you're too late (for now - although I'm sure that it will be repeated at some stage). It was shown on Christmas Day and then available on BBC iPlayer for 30 days, so you've just missed out.

Try searching for it on YouTube. I have found many program's on there

[Samuraisan]

Programs, I meant. Damned autocorrect !

It's out on DVD
Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation
It's already been repeated over Christmas I think and no longer on catch up .
It was absolutely ....marvellous!

[Tilly2]

Thank you all. I was away at Christmas, that's why I missed it.

Is it worth buying the DVD then, shaney?

It's brilliant .He's a lovely man and Toby Jones portrays him really well.

I haven't got the DVD but I watched it on tv twice and really enjoyed it .
Has excellent reviews on Amazon ,well worth seven quid .
The may repeat it again but who knows when .

[Tilly2]

Thank you for that link, shaney. I think I will buy it.

Thank you all.

Being pedantic, it's programmes, lol.

Tis a nice little film though

One of the best, if not, the best programmes on the tele. I watched it twice within a couple of days,"live" and on I-Player. Catch it if you can.Dont know if it will ever be repeated

Hi Tilly2,

I have it has an .avi file on my pc so if all else fails it would be a challenge sending it to you...
