GRAHAM HILL: DRIVEN SCREENING ON BBC2

NEWS RELEASE FROM MARK STEWART PRODUCTIONS

Following the success of the documentary ‘Graham Hill: Driven’, screened on BBC FOUR depicting the life of star racing driver Graham Hill, Mark Stewart Productions is pleased to announce that ‘Graham Hill: Driven’ will be re-screened on BBC TWO on Sunday 20th of February 2011.

GRAHAM HILL: DRIVEN
1 x 59 minutes
Currently scheduled for: 7.00pm, Sunday 20th February 2011 on BBC TWO.

Mark Stewart Productions’ film presents the compelling story of Graham Hill, an eccentric and charismatic Englishman from a forgotten era of motor sport.

To this day, Hill is the only driver to have won the 'triple crown' of motor racing: the Formula 1 World Championship (twice), the Indianapolis 500 and the Le Mans 24-hours race. He also won the uniquely challenging Monaco Grand Prix five times and this at a time when drivers routinely met with violent death.

Away from the circuit, the film reveals that Hill was an accomplished raconteur, a dashing figure with a keen eye for the ladies. In the tradition of Terry-Thomas and Leslie Phillips, his public persona was that of the quintessential English cad - with a dash of Dick Dastardly.

As described by his friends and family, including his World Champion son Damon, Hill was an irrepressible free spirit who simply didn't know when to quit. Ultimately, this was to be his undoing…

This film has been created by the award-winning team at Mark Stewart Productions; produced and directed by Mark Craig and executive produced by Mark Stewart.
