I have the second book and its excellent. Come to think of it, I recall winning it on here for one of the tipping comps but no idea who kindly put it up as a prize. But very grateful as it's a really interesting read.

Does racing feature much in episode one? I just got to the bit where he’s been to see the mad horse. I only found out about it because I was watching season two of my favourite comedy from the other year, The Change, and a trailer for it came on. I love Guy Pearce!

Sorry - meant to answer this before 🤦🏼‍♀️ yes, quite a lot. They go to the races a lot first of all and then the last season ( I think it is - don’t quote me on that though!) it’s heavily racing orientated.

I ended up binge watching series one! Trying not to start on series two for a while ( not sure how long my resolve will last). I loved it. Not many programmes can have you jumping out of your skin, welling up and laughing out loud in just one episode.

I've watched all three parts of a Star Sports Betting People Interview with author Chris Pitt on YouTube. He said that his book - A Long Time Gone ( on closed racecourses ) took around seven years to write. Another titled Go Down to the Beaten concentrates on the stories of the jockeys who didn't win the Grand National ending with AP McCoy's victory on Don't Push It. Its title comes from the John Masefield poem ' Right Royal', and the book was mentioned on grandnationalanorak.com/books-on-the-national as " the greatest book ever written about the Grand National".

Chris ran our late lamented racing club ( oh how I miss it, especially at this time of year). One year he got every surviving National winning jockey together. I got as many as I could to sign my Grand National book.Another time he organised a special night for Michael Scudamore and Scu and Lucinda travelled down from Scotland for it. His knowledge of racing is encyclopaedic.
