Drama based on the true story of Manchester United's legendary Busby Babes and the 1958 Munich air crash that claimed eight of their number.

I thought this was outstanding. Powerful and some very good writing / performances. Very emotional. David Tennant (Jimmy) especially, brilliant. Jack O'Connell (Bobby) and Dougray Scott (Sir Matt), I thought were very good as well.

Did anyone else catch this?

Thought it was good was hard to take bobby seriously though as i kept picturing cook from skins

Yeah, funnily enough I never rated him (in an acting capacity) in Skins, but thought he was really good in this.

Ha vent watched it yet and I will probably catch it on iPlayer, but Jack O'connell is a great actor and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance in Dive.

Thanks for reopening this. Not that it's going to get much attention.
