Rally, Like Little Boys in a Man-sized Sport

The night times, I think, are the worst when you're sitting home on your own. You know that somewhere in the backblocks they're going one hundred odd miles an hour. It really is quite nerve wracking. I don't think anyone could sleep properly with her husband on a rally.

I made no mention of of that excellent documentary Rally which, although I am no lover of the sport, I found totally absorbing. Rally would be one of the few programmes made in this country which would cause more than passing interest if screened overseas.
