The first of a six-part series about Britain's Olympic heroes, narrated by Kenneth Branagh.
In a golden decade of British middle-distance running, Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett dominated the Olympic scene and destroyed a number of world records. Fired by unceasing media stories, their rivalry was legendary. Today, Coe and Ovett live at opposite ends of the country and pursue radically different lives. For the first time, both men have spoken openly about their highs and lows in Moscow and Los Angeles, and about their own relationship then and since. Director Ken McGill
