Stage Interviews<br />
“next on bbC1: the nudes<br />
with Fiona Bruce.” While<br />
some TV captioning<br />
errors are more titillating<br />
than others, some are<br />
unacceptable: “Next on<br />
BBC2: Racing Legend,<br />
Colin Macrae” (sic).<br />
After that heinous crime,<br />
it set me on edge for the<br />
<strong>final</strong> installment of the<br />
trilogy – following a few<br />
weeks after the Stirling<br />
Moss and Jackie Stewart<br />
‘legends’. The first I<br />
enjoyed, the second I<br />
disliked as James Martin<br />
hadn’t got the memo that it<br />
was meant to be about JYS<br />
and not him. Fortunately,<br />
this presenter, Olympic<br />
Online<br />
legend Chris Hoy,<br />
understood his role and<br />
carried it out with aplomb<br />
– even if hearing his voice<br />
did give me a strange<br />
craving for Bran Flakes.<br />
Unlike the other two<br />
episodes, tragically the<br />
subject matter is no longer<br />
with us, and this caused an<br />
obvious quandary. Sure,<br />
we had fantastic archive<br />
footage of Colin, from<br />
toothy teenager tearing<br />
up the roads of Britain, to<br />
deforesting large swathes<br />
of Finland with a Subaru<br />
Legacy, to his world<br />
championship success,<br />
through to his Ford and<br />
Dakar days. All the right<br />
talking heads gave their<br />
insights – the Catalunya ’95<br />
team-orders controversy<br />
being expertly covered<br />
in particular.<br />
Hoy proved adept<br />
behind the wheel, driving<br />
a Talbot Sunbeam, the<br />
McRae Enduro Dakar<br />
special and, ultimately,<br />
Subaru Impreza ‘L555 BAT’<br />
alongside Derek Ringer.<br />
He was proficient at driving<br />
and presenting (a second<br />
career clearly awaits him<br />
in either) – but my true<br />
star of the show was<br />
Colin’s father Jimmy.<br />
Right from the moment<br />
he unveiled Colin’s<br />
stunning car collection<br />

we kick off a<br />

an anonymous<br />
figure from the<br />
world of F1.<br />
and hopped in the family<br />
Sierra RS Cosworth and<br />
opposite-locked down his<br />
<strong>drive</strong>way – contemporary<br />
McRae magic was with us.<br />
“Sliding through the<br />
mud, with Jimmy McRae<br />
alongside telling you what<br />
to do, it doesn’t get better<br />
than that,” summed up<br />
Hoy, as Jimmy gave him<br />
the brilliant driving<br />
instructions in the<br />
Sunbeam of “Throttle!<br />
Throttle! Throttle!<br />
Throttle… Throttle!”<br />
And then in the Dakar<br />
machine: “It’s best to<br />
<strong>drive</strong> as fast as possible.”<br />
I wish he was my dad too.<br />
