So I asked one of the directors, Carmock, what's so important about going about making documentaries like these?
Busy place there.
But by the way, over 24 years, it first aired on TGK in May 2001.
So there you go.
Yeah.
And just one thing to note as well on it is it's always players who have retired.
So it's never current players.
It's one thing I wanted to let you know because it led into a conversation then in the office afterwards as to...
It's a fantastic documentary, but it doesn't get people watching GAA necessarily because you can't watch someone on Lake Regale and then say, I can't wait to see what they do this season.
That's interesting.
Whereas we'll come to kind of the knockout effects and other documentaries later on that it's actively affecting viewership numbers in the following year.
Yeah, I think that makes sense because I was going to say it's such a contrast in how much he talks about trust and the trust between the players and the production team.
Whereas that's, I think, been an issue in a lot of other kind of docuseries that we're seeing coming to light.
I know we're going to talk about it later, Eve, but like the F1 Drive to Survive, that was a major hiccup for them in that they were maybe dramatizing things a little bit too much and lost the trust with some of their kind of key superstars.
The story is written.
you know players who are currently active like young players that would be it would be an entirely different product I think yeah it's an entirely different show to be fair like that the premise of the show is you know to honour heroes of the game that have gone before us so there has been calls especially we were talking to some people on the street for is a Laker Gale-esque thing for current players could be really beneficial for the likes of the GAA and for rugby as well yeah I was going to ask that is that what this clip is here it absolutely is alright Brona can we play it
Would you tune in more to a little bit of NBA now, knowing what you know goes on behind the scenes?
It's funny, he talks about Last Dance.
That was the one with Michael Jordan, wasn't it?
I watched that.
