RH has produced some truly amazing series over the years, however this one takes the gold medal. Brilliant research, analysis, storytelling and discourse to make you stop and think again about what you thought you knew about the 1936 Olympics

Hello, hello …words truly fail me! This series has been an utter delight, a brilliant brain blast, a sublime retelling of an unfolding pantheon of hitherto little known yet critical past characters playing parts on a stage during a momentous time, a revision revelation revealing new forensic insights to what had always in my experience just been referred to as a ‘Hitler’s Games’ where ‘Jesse Owens wins four gold medals’ trite historical sound bite! Every delicious description by our two intrepid investigative journalists and telling of events which had so much impact in that time period and to this day had to be savoured by me not just once, or twice but … at least three times! Like all great stories I just had to hear it again and again, sometimes with a multitude of reactions - disbelief, shock, pleasure, joy, sadness (particularly Jessie’s story), humour …the whole gamut! Don’t get me started!!! I LOVED THIS - my congratulations to Malcom Gladwell and Ben Nadaf Hafri on telling such a well researched tale, my appreciation and enjoyment in their doing so with such exceptional craft and consummate skill of delivery and eternal gratitude for my educational enlightenment. I was really sad as I neared the end of the last episode but, again … what a serendipitous event on which to finish. Nuts! Joy Toussaint London UK
