Barry: The Story of Motorcycling Legend, Barry Sheene

This is the remarkable story of Barry Sheene, the asthmatic, cheeky cockney boy who grew up to become a sporting legend. He won the British motorcycling 125cc championship aged just twenty and twice became World Champion in the 500cc class, despite two life-threatening crashes. Steve Parrish, fellow bike racer and now a BBC commentator, admits that Barry completely changed his life, and reveals just what he got up to with his 'partner in crime'¿ Nick Harris was one of Barry's greatest fans, who ended up working alongside Barry as a television commentator.
