Rally, Like Little Boys in a Man-sized Sport

Television (Full Length) – 1973

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.

Did you bloody well get it on film or not?
– Voice of the driver, after a spectacular off-road excursion
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.
– Roger Hall in a Listener review, 2 February 1974, page 36
I had the privilege to ride with the top five drivers in the world and it scared the pants off me.
– Director Tony Williams
