There was a documentary on a while back about Mike Tyson.

There was a BS9000 & BL8000's in that and Tyson and some young kids (his kids I think) were filmed very close to the B&O stuff in a domestic style & setting.

Cant remember what channel it was on - but it was certainly worth a watch, even without the B&O gear😐

I think the Tyson programme featuring some of his B&O is being shown again Tuesday night on More 4 channel @ 10pm (uk time) if any of you b&o freaks are interested😎

At least I think it's the right one....dont blame me if it's a different documentary though😁

Regards

I'll have to earmark a search for that Tyson show in the states!

Jaff,

If you're really wanting to see the Tyson programme (or spot the b&o!) I can record it onto DVD and mail it to you if you want..?

Thats if our DVD +R discs will play on your machine in the US..?

If you want to try just pm me your mailing address

😕

Michael,

Thanks so much for a wonderful offer!

After some *googling*... I found the film and "earmarked" (sorry, that was a terrible pun, now as well as before) it to slot three in my Netflix queue!

For anyone else interested: The film is "Tyson" by James Toback and was very well received.

I finally had a chance to watch the Tyson film last night.

It was interesting to see an individual that was a cyborg during his prime almost brought to tears several times.

I was left with the opinion that despite all of his foibles, he is a rather "human" being.

Very good film.

Just part way through watching the repeat of the Danish TV series 'The Killing" (on BBC 4).

Not exactly product placement, but there was an early reference to the possibility of someone getting 30 B&O flatscreens if he could borrow a fork-lift. Also, at the victims funeral, a child stepped forward and placed a street map (presumably of Copenhagen) on the coffin. A close up of the folded corner of the map showed an advert for a Serene telephone. (The series was made in 2007).
