Days That Shook the World

on BBC Two England

The Fastest Man on Water. On 4 January 1967, after 64 days of foul weather and mechanical failure, conditions were right for Donald Campbell to make his water-speed record attempt. But the day was to end in tragedy. Witnesses and never before seen footage tell the story of how, seconds before achieving his goal, Campbell's luck ran out. Director Matthew Whiteman ; Executive producer Richard Bradley
