0:00:17 > 0:00:20In the highly-competitive arena of motor sport,
0:00:20 > 0:00:25only once in a while does a real driving genius emerge from the pack.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30One such man was Jim Clark.
0:00:33 > 0:00:39Jimmy was so unlike every other racing driver I've ever known.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44He was very special in a whole lot of ways.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50It's funny, the words that come to my mind are
0:00:50 > 0:00:53"innocent talent".
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And that was it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02His driving skill really was a God-given gift.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15Even at the height of his fame in the mid '60s, Clark was a reclusive, enigmatic figure.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20But a wealth of rare archive material made available by family and friends,
0:01:20 > 0:01:25provides a revealing new insight into the brief life of a remarkable man.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33People would not understand that you could be frightened.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Well...it's all part of it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39If there was nothing to be frightened of there,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and no limit, any silly bugger could get in a motorcar.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I enjoy motor racing.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I started as an amateur hobby,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04with no idea or nor intention or becoming world champion.
0:02:04 > 0:02:11But I was curious to find out what it was like to drive a car fast,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14to drive on a certain circuit, to drive a certain type of car.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18But now you've found out and raked in all the honours, what's left?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22How do you assess your chances of reaching old age, or even middle age, if you push it any further?
0:02:25 > 0:02:33Across this now-overgrown stretch through a German forest, cars once raced at breathtaking speed.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37And it was here that Jim was tragically killed at the age of 32,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40when the car he was driving mysteriously crashed into trees.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50Four decades later, a simple memorial ceremony is taking place nearby.
0:02:52 > 0:02:58It's quite incredible, because my wife said to me only the other day,
0:02:58 > 0:03:04"Why's so many people interested in Jim Clark these days?"
0:03:05 > 0:03:08To fully understand the answer to this question,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12we need to go back to the place where his story really begins.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Jim Clark spent most of his youth in Berwickshire, on the borders of Scotland and England.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26This was, and still is, farming country, an unlikely
0:03:26 > 0:03:29place to begin a glittering career as a racing driver.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34The Clark family ran two sheep farms
0:03:34 > 0:03:37that stretched across some 12,000 acres,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42and Jim, the only son, was fully expected to one day carry on the family business.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46He was quite disobedient at times.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51My eldest sister...well, she was ten years older.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54She thought he was just a cheeky little boy,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and she would reprimand him more than Mother.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03Jim spent three years at Loretto, a highly-respectable boarding school,
0:04:03 > 0:04:08but at 16 was forced to return to the farm when his uncle and grandfather both died suddenly.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13And that might have been it had he not met another local farmer's son.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I first met him at our local Young Farmers' Club.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21In fact, he overtook me on the way there and I didn't know who he was.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I thought, "What a bloomin' idiot." He was driving like a real boy racer.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I used to do a bit of club racing and he used to come along and give me a hand.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35And it all developed from there.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I used to go along with a friend of mine, another local farmer,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Ian Scott-Watson, and act as his mechanic,
0:04:42 > 0:04:49never thinking that I would be able to get into a car, whatever, because my parents were so against it.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I did my practice and thought I was going as quick as I could go.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56He went out and did his, and he was three seconds a lap quicker
0:04:56 > 0:04:59than me within five laps, which embarrassed me no end.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04So we swapped places, and I had my first race.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15We did a lot of club rallying round in the borders, in the south of Scotland and the north of England.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22He was just doing little club events, nothing spectacular at all.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29It was just three or four pals together going to race meetings.
0:05:29 > 0:05:36And continued from there as he step by step, went up the ladder.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41He had no realisation of his own ability.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45He said to me, "Why on Earth is everybody going so slowly?"
0:05:45 > 0:05:50And I said, "Jim, it's not that everybody is going so slowly, it's you going so damn fast."
0:05:50 > 0:05:57Let's face it, he, all through my racing career, has been the bloke who's pushed me on.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02I wouldn't have done half the bloody things because I had no confidence in myself.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08Jim gained a huge amount of experience racing for the local Border Reivers team,
0:06:08 > 0:06:13and in the summer of 1959 found himself teamed up with Sir John Whitmore,
0:06:13 > 0:06:18driving a Lotus Elite in one of the most prestigious events in the world
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- the Le Mans 24-hour race.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I do remember him as being sort of...shall we say?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29From the country and a bit naive, and so on and so forth.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31And quite endearing because of that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I don't think at the beginning he was aggressively ambitious,
0:06:35 > 0:06:40he just did what he did very well and the result of that was he was in front of people.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45They finished tenth overall, a fine achievement by any standard.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51But as far as Jim's family was concerned, it was still just an expensive hobby.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I started out racing with no idea of ever making money at it.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01And it was only really at the beginning of 1960, when my father...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06..got a bit upset that I was spending so much time racing...
0:07:06 > 0:07:13He suggested his hobbies always paid themselves, and so on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18It made me look into the possibility of making mine pay.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22The man who would take him to the next level and beyond was designer
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and Formula One Team Lotus manager Colin Chapman.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27He offered Jim a seat.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Ian Scott-Watson filmed his friend as they drove to the airport together.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38From this moment on their lives would follow very different paths.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46No one could have imagined at that moment what adventures lay in store for Jim Clark.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52The sheep farmer's son from the Scottish borders was heading for the big time.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10The 1960 and '61 seasons played a key part in Clark's apprenticeship as a Formula One driver.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Here he began to mix with a host of motor racing veterans, both on and
0:08:15 > 0:08:19off the track, soaking up knowledge wherever he could find it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22He was a devoted pupil of Colin Chapman, and mixed well
0:08:22 > 0:08:28with the small but dedicated team of Lotus engineers and mechanics.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I was one of the mechanics who worked on his cars,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35and I was very apprehensive because he was the up and coming star,
0:08:35 > 0:08:36and he was very quiet.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I thought, "This can't be a racing driver,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44"this very demure person, very, very shy."
0:08:44 > 0:08:49But there he was, and when he got in the car he was absolutely magic, he was really unbelievable.
0:08:55 > 0:09:01Another British driver new on the scene was motorbike world champion John Surtees.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05We got on, we both respected each other.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Both wanted to be quicker than each other.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13But you could be totally sure he would do nothing
0:09:13 > 0:09:18that would endanger you at all, you could fight fair and hard.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24There was good reason for gentlemanly conduct during this period.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Thrills and spills were all part of the sport's appeal,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32but safety measures and medical back-up were primitive.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38I remember my first time going to Brands Hatch, thinking,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41"There's a crazy sport, it's so dangerous."
0:09:42 > 0:09:44My mother just hated to watch it.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh, very anxious moments.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Worry all the time, really.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm quite relieved whenever a race is over.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57There were accidents pretty well every weekend and a lot of people got killed.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03In 1958, these 16 men lined up for the start of the world championship season.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Today, seven of those men are dead.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Jim had received a graphic lesson in the sport's dangers
0:10:12 > 0:10:17when he raced for the first time at the notorious Spa circuit in Belgium.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I had a pretty rough race, in my own mind, at Spa. I was never very happy.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32I don't mind admitting it, I was scared stiff more or less all through the race.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37You're going so bloody fast that I was even scared to let the car slide adrift at all.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40And...
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I was...I was really frightened.
0:10:48 > 0:10:55But what happened at the 1961 Italian Grand Prix at Monza went way beyond frightening.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Ferrari were the team to beat that year,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and their leading driver, Wolfgang von Trips,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04was just one win away from securing the world championship.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14It was only on the second lap, while Jim was duelling with von Trips, that disaster struck.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23He came past me, and as he put on the brakes he pulled over.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I thought, "God, you can't do this, you know?"
0:11:26 > 0:11:29He pulled right into the side of me.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34His wheel got in between von Trips's wheels
0:11:34 > 0:11:38and the wheels touched and it sent von Trips's car off into the crowd.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I was just behind it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:57I know I went over, bits and pieces and the rest of it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01And it was a tragedy.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08We were standing in the pits. We heard there'd been an accident.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12And Jimmy came back very, very shaken.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18As well as von Trips, 14 spectators had also been killed.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Italian police pointed the finger of blame at Clark.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28It was awful, really, really awful.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I mean, we just couldn't get away quick enough.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Well, the fact was I got badgered for days on this.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57They wouldn't let it lie, and they came up to the farm
0:12:57 > 0:13:02here and there were photographers lurking round every corner,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and I told them all to go and piss off, I want to be alone, you know?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Hell, I was obviously bloody upset about it all.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14No, no, the more I think of it, the worse it became, you know?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18He was very much affected by it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I think he felt almost powerless,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25because the car had been impounded, he still didn't know if he was going
0:13:25 > 0:13:30to be heaved off to Italy and perhaps even be thrown into jail.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The Italian police were after his blood, and
0:13:35 > 0:13:39for a time he didn't know if he'd even be able to go back to Monza.
0:13:39 > 0:13:47I think it was very much a racing incident, and it took more than one for it to happen.
0:13:47 > 0:13:54And it just happened to be that Jimmy was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58A full investigation of the crash eventually cleared Jim,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01but the incident would linger for years to come.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08The following season,
0:14:08 > 0:14:13a somewhat more reclusive, media-shy Clark returned to racing.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18In Colin Chapman's pioneering new Lotus, he was in with a realistic
0:14:18 > 0:14:23crack at the 1962 Formula One world championship.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27The car was certainly quick,
0:14:27 > 0:14:32but in the end it was a lack of reliability that let him down.
0:14:32 > 0:14:39Fellow British racer Graham Hill went on to take the title.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43But it was an American driver, Dan Gurney, who aroused Chapman's
0:14:43 > 0:14:47competitive instincts, with the prospect of racing in the USA.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55Chapman and Lotus and Ford got together, through my connections,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59and the next thing I knew Jimmy was a team-mate.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02And we got along really well.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24500 was a big race.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Everybody wanted to win the 500.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31When you see 300,000 plus people
0:15:31 > 0:15:35in the grandstand there, you know this is it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39'While the big Indianapolis roadsters have had to stop for tyres and fuel,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42'Jim Clark, in his lightweight Lotus has grabbed the lead.'
0:15:44 > 0:15:49When he showed up there, he was outstanding, because you could see
0:15:49 > 0:15:51his cornering speeds were great.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53He seemed to be a natural.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58He was certainly an incredible race driver.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05He showed us the way, there's no question about that.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09'Parnelli is four and a half seconds ahead of the smooth-driving Clark.'
0:16:10 > 0:16:14My car, ten or 15 laps from the end,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17cracked a crack in the oil tank.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Parnelli - we called him Parnoily!
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Because his tank was leaking so much oil, and people were starting to spin and everything.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36'But Parnelli Jones finishes the 500-mile ordeal in three hours and 29 minutes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43'Scotsman Jim Clark's Lotus captures second place.'
0:16:43 > 0:16:49Clark had only just missed out on winning the Indy 500 at his first attempt.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53But that's the way it goes, and Jimmy was not upset.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55If he was, he didn't show it.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00He was perfection when it came to being a gentleman.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03He never lost his cool, never saw him lose his cool about anything.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10By now, the pairing of Chapman and Clark was really starting to gel.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12They seemed a perfect match.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I think Colin Chapman had the utmost faith in Jimmy's ability to extract
0:17:18 > 0:17:22everything there was in the automobile,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26and Jimmy had great faith in Colin Chapman for coming up
0:17:26 > 0:17:30with the cutting edge of technology at that time.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37'Colin's personal dynamism has inspired an outstanding group of draughtsmen, engineers and mechanics
0:17:37 > 0:17:42'and has united them in a formidable team, Team Lotus.'
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Chapman knew that Clark was ready to produce something special.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Oh, he's just a fantastic driver.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56He's still young and he's still maturing. He's going to get better.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00He's very easy on the machinery, very easy to get along with.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02He's an ideal racing driver.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07This combination...
0:18:08 > 0:18:14..which developed together became the acknowledged main threat.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29The Lotus 25 was a radical design at the time,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32and, in Clark's hands, simply unbeatable.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Records were smashed at nearly every race, in a season
0:18:38 > 0:18:42which produced some of the greatest challenges a driver could face.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48In Spa in '63, in the rain,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52he won by almost five minutes.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Which is some margin.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59'Now for the big event of the day, the 16th British Grand Prix.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01'Jim Clark's the big man this year.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05'And now they're away! 82 laps, 246 miles in all.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09'In the race, 23 of the biggest men in motor racing.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18'As seems inevitable this year, Jim Clark's the first man home.'
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Magic season.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30We won seven out of ten grand prix.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34And no-one had won that amount of grand prix in one season before.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45Everybody couldn't quite understand how this shy farmer from Scotland
0:19:45 > 0:19:47was such a marvellous driver.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50But he was.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53He's a very, very tough opponent.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57He not only can drive quickly, but he can race.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01It's just that little distinction from being able to conduct a car
0:20:01 > 0:20:05quickly around a circuit, and then race at the same time.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09You know Clarke's listening to you up in Carlisle.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Have you anything that you'd like to say to him?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Yes, I hope he goes back to farming!
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Back home in the Scottish borders, the farming community could scarcely comprehend
0:20:24 > 0:20:28that one of their own sons had taken on the world, and won.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34They turned out in their thousands to give him a hero's welcome.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42Jim's triumphant homecoming was captured on home-movie camera by his old friend, Ian Scott-Watson.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Pretty astonished, and really very excited by it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It was great to feel that I'd played some part in his getting going.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10But behind the smile, Jim's mind was in turmoil.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16He had secured his world championship title at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20scene of the terrible racing accident two years earlier.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25Victory celebrations had barely begun when Jim found himself once again under investigation.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Are you prepared to go back to face any further inquiry?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Not at the moment. I'm rather busy in other ways,
0:21:34 > 0:21:39and...I'd like to do some consulting first,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41just to see what this is all about now,
0:21:41 > 0:21:45because I made a full statement last year, they questioned me
0:21:45 > 0:21:50for three hours, I made a complete statement in English and signed it.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54And what I'm expected to remember about the accident now
0:21:54 > 0:21:57that I didn't last year, I wouldn't know.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04I think, because he suppressed his emotions,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I think they would build up sometimes and he didn't like
0:22:07 > 0:22:10to express emotions publicly, and it would build up,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13and then it would burst out a little bit excessively.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16He used to get to quite frustrated with journalists.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Some of them, they're just bloody ill-mannered.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28But what do you say to the question that they obviously put to you,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and that's the fact that whether you like it or not, buddy,
0:22:31 > 0:22:32you're a news figure,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35you're involved in a serious thing like that,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37we've got to badger you.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40What do you feel about this? How did you...
0:22:40 > 0:22:44What I say to that is why the hell don't they come and badger me after I've won a BLEEP good race?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- All right?- Mm-hm.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Why don't they badger me when I've done something good?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51They don't want to know you when you're doing well,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55when you're doing anything right, it's when you're in the shit they want to know.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58That's what really upsets me about the British press.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11A winter back on the farm was a welcome distraction for Clark while the controversy slowly died down.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Only here could he truly escape the attention of the media.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38With so much motor racing activity based in the south of England,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Clark increasingly began making regular trips to London.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48He used to come and stay quite often when he was down in London, with my wife and I.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52We had a little flat in Mayfair and it became known as the Scottish embassy,
0:23:52 > 0:23:57because first Jimmy and then later Jackie used to come and stay there a lot.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Jimmy would have the big bedroom
0:23:59 > 0:24:01and Helen and I would have the small bedroom.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05And every now and again he'd bring a girlfriend in, and Helen, my wife,
0:24:05 > 0:24:09would say, "That's not the girl he had the last time!"
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Jim eventually fell for a young model by the name of Sally Stokes,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18and the two soon became a serious item.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22It happened to be the opening of Cleopatra
0:24:22 > 0:24:25and he invited me to go to the premiere with him, so I thought,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27"Oh, that sounds smashing",
0:24:27 > 0:24:30so we did that and that was our very first date.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36We used to go out to dinner together, but often, the problem with him
0:24:36 > 0:24:40was that he couldn't decide which restaurant to go to.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And he said, "I don't know where to go. Where do you want to go?"
0:24:43 > 0:24:47"I don't know. Where do you want to go?" It was terrible!
0:24:49 > 0:24:54The worst decision maker I've ever met in my life.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00The number of movies that we went to that we never made, you know, we'd go round, "That's a good...
0:25:00 > 0:25:03"Wait, why don't we go and see this one and see what's on here?"
0:25:03 > 0:25:09By the time we got to the one that we wanted, the movie had started and the box office had closed.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13He just couldn't make decisions.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18It was just the way he was, it was strange, because I think when he got into a racing car,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21his whole personality changed, and he became very focused
0:25:21 > 0:25:26as he sat in the racing car, and he was just different sitting in the car than when he was outside the car.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34In those days, erm...
0:25:34 > 0:25:38the top drivers would drive many, many different cars.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Jimmy could jump from one car to another and very different cars, and do it very effectively.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48He was quick in anything that he drove.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51So it didn't make any difference, he loved driving.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55You've seen pictures of him in the Cortinas, mainly on three wheels.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Loads of Cortinas had this unique
0:25:59 > 0:26:03quality of lifting its front wheels when you went round corners,
0:26:03 > 0:26:07particularly left-hand bends, the front wheel would come up,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09sometimes eight inches off the ground.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12So it was very spectacular to watch.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22The 1964 racing season could never realistically match the dizzy heights of the previous year.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Compromised by mechanical problems, Clark still managed three wins,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30including one at Brands Hatch in front of his home crowd.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Returning to Indianapolis, he once again stunned the Americans with his pace.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41'Clark juts his way into the lead.'
0:26:44 > 0:26:47'The flying Scotsman continues to pull away.'
0:26:48 > 0:26:52But once again, the winner's trophy would elude him.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04The following year, Team Lotus were back.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Chapman and Clark were determined to beat the Americans on home soil.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13And with two years of experience behind them,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15this was their best chance yet.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18'And for the next 500 miles,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22'each man will ride alone, doing the thing he knows best...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26'driving a precision racing machine...to win.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37'As the pace car pulls into the pit, Jim Clark moves ahead and pulls into the lead.'
0:27:42 > 0:27:44'Clark continues his lead.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48'But coming out of the back stretch, AJ Foyt moves to the front.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54'Foyt tries to press his advantage, but Clark hangs on, determined to reclaim his lead.'
0:27:55 > 0:28:00It wouldn't really matter whether he was in a Lotus.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Whatever it might be...
0:28:03 > 0:28:05..he was going to do well, period.
0:28:05 > 0:28:12'Jimmy Clark crosses the finish line to become the victor of the 1965 Indianapolis 500.'
0:28:13 > 0:28:18He won that race by two whole laps.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And lots of people don't report that these days.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23He flew.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25And they saw it.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And they were stunned.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Obviously he'd been there and paid his dues.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It was the third time that he was there,
0:28:35 > 0:28:37and I think he was well deserving of it.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42'Jimmy Clark of Scotland becomes the first foreign driver to win since 1916.'
0:28:43 > 0:28:46That was it. It was all over with.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48In the history books.
0:28:48 > 0:28:55'And Clark, he was already a world champion, but winning the 500, that's real special.'
0:28:58 > 0:29:03And there were hundreds of Americans who named their children after Jim Clark.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13As well as receiving the largest cash prize in motor sport,
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Clark's victory that day earned him a variety of other goodies.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20'A sports car worth £1,000.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22'One year's supply of meat.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27'Two television sets, and a do-it-yourself home toolkit.'
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Next came photo shoots with supermodels...
0:29:31 > 0:29:35And Clark's face began to be seen everywhere.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40The mild-mannered king of speed was now an international celebrity.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44And Jimmy was wondering how the press
0:29:44 > 0:29:47was going to be after winning Indy again,
0:29:47 > 0:29:52and saying, "Oh, my goodness, it's going to start again now, you know. Oh, boy."
0:29:57 > 0:30:02The man with the biggest prize of all to defend is Jim Clark.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09And it was really difficult for him to begin with.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- He was very shy, didn't like making speeches.- And I'm able ...
0:30:13 > 0:30:18I'm unable to find words to express satisfactorily my appreciation.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22It didn't wear well with him, the hustle and the bustle.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25'Monday July 5, 8.15am.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30'Ahead of him, a day of engagements in the world of advertising, public relations and sponsorship.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34'A schedule of off-track business engagements, which is often so full
0:30:34 > 0:30:37'that a private plane becomes a necessity.'
0:30:37 > 0:30:40How very busy he was.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44There were times that his life actually wasn't his own.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50'In seven days, Jim Clark travelled 3,280 miles in three countries
0:30:50 > 0:30:52'and earned at least £2,500.'
0:30:52 > 0:30:55You know, it was a different life for him.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Certainly different from life up at the farm.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It's a little bit of a whirlwind at times.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05You get into it and it's very difficult to find time to slow down.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20As ever, there was really only one place that provided Clark a shelter
0:31:20 > 0:31:24from the demands that were now a regular part of his life.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29I'd like to get back here much more often,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33but unfortunately at the moment I find that racing commitments
0:31:33 > 0:31:37and other commitments don't allow much time.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40It's a great relaxation to get back here,
0:31:40 > 0:31:44and very much the opposite from racing.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54One could almost say it was his bolt hole,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58with all the pressures of Grand Prix racing and dashing back and forward.
0:31:59 > 0:32:05He just immediately could morph back into being the borders farmer.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I mean, he genuinely loved it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Motor racing and farming to my mind were in a way two opposites.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18The very fact that they are two opposites,
0:32:18 > 0:32:22helps me enormously keep a sense of balance.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30I think he loved the sheep, he loved the farm.
0:32:30 > 0:32:37But I think the pull to cars and racing, that sort of overtook.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41There was little time to savour his Indy 500 win.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44The Formula One global merry-go-round had already begun.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Another championship was at stake.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55The racing circuits of the world were now a familiar hunting ground,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59and more often than not, Clark was able to put himself in pole position.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07In a Grand Prix, he used to like to get out in front,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09build himself a lead...
0:33:13 > 0:33:18..and let the other people try and get after him.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25It was my very first year in Formula One.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30I finished three times, second to Jim Clark.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34First in the Belgian Grand Prix, in torrential conditions.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40To be on the podium with Jim Clark -
0:33:40 > 0:33:44who was my hero - was a great privilege.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48And it sort of became a joke, it was Batman and Robin.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51And there was no doubt who was Batman and who was Robin!
0:33:57 > 0:34:02I know I get a lot of the glory, but it's built up of
0:34:02 > 0:34:06all these people working very enthusiastically,
0:34:06 > 0:34:09and very hard, to ensure that I've got the best car possible.
0:34:09 > 0:34:17He was the most important part of a team, up there with Colin.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19And we knew that if we could do a good job
0:34:19 > 0:34:26and make reliable race cars, he was going to be up front, for sure.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34Clark amazingly won the British Grand Prix for the 4th year in a row.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44'Jim Clark has won his 17th Grand Prix, the 1965 World Championship
0:34:44 > 0:34:47'is virtually his, with the season only half over.'
0:34:53 > 0:34:57There was little doubt, by now, that he was a very special driver.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04But what exactly was it that made him so good?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10He was so smooth, he was so clean.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12He drove with such finesse.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14He never bullied a racing car.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18He sort of caressed it
0:35:18 > 0:35:22into doing the things he wanted it to do.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33The really exceptional drivers are just ultra-sensitive.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40They can feel things that other people don't actually notice.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46And that, to me, is what was very exceptional about him.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52By concentrating on the breaking,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55by concentrating on the way through the corner,
0:35:55 > 0:35:59on the amount of throttle...power, I can get on out of a corner.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06I don't drive any faster, I just concentrate harder,
0:36:06 > 0:36:08which makes me go faster.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16'Jim Clark in the wheel of a Lotus,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19'this season, an unbeatable combination.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22'Victory in the German Grand Prix, can he be World Champion?
0:36:32 > 0:36:34'Clark leads from the start.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39'Graham Hill, BRM, lying second.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43'John Surtees' Ferrari packed up after one lap.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45'There was no-one who could catch Clark.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52'Winner at 99.79 mph.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55'If there had been a dead heat, that laurel wreath
0:36:55 > 0:36:58'could have gone over two men's heads.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02'Jim said that for the rest of his life, he'll remember this magical year.'
0:37:11 > 0:37:13The people of Jim's hometown would remember it
0:37:13 > 0:37:15for the rest of their lives too.
0:37:15 > 0:37:21The Scottish Borders farming community welcomed him home like a king.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Winning Indianapolis and the World Championship,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I don't think anyone's done that since.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43You know, people admired him, the way he won like a gentleman.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46And that's the way he was, really.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Among the guests of honour that day was Jim's family,
0:37:53 > 0:37:58including his father, who just five years earlier had told his only son
0:37:58 > 0:38:01to either give up his hobby or make it pay.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05His dad was very proud of him.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08And I think that's what Jim treasured.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Jim was showered with honours and awards,
0:38:14 > 0:38:19from Buckingham Palace to the rest of the world.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21It was his magical year.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Everything seemed to go very well.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Hip, hip...- Hooray!
0:38:27 > 0:38:34- Hip, hip...- Hooray! - Hip, hip...- Hooray!
0:38:38 > 0:38:42But Jim was never likely to be seduced by fame.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45When all the crowds and cameras had disbursed,
0:38:45 > 0:38:50he still had everything and everyone he needed.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54He was a quiet person,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57rather introverted really.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06And it would be few people who Jim Clark could totally relax with.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17One such group of people included his racing driver pals,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23The three of us together were terrific.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I mean, we got called the Three Musketeers,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27we did lots of things together.
0:39:27 > 0:39:34I mean, it was a wonderful example of how, even at the highest
0:39:34 > 0:39:37form of competition, you could have a human relationship
0:39:37 > 0:39:41with a group of people who were participants.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45We'd would go on holiday together, we'd fly to races together.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Betty, that's Graham Hill's wife, Sally, Jimmy's girlfriend Helen,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54my wife, would all come out to meet us.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Oh, well, that was a lovely trip for us really.
0:39:57 > 0:40:05Betty and Helen and I went down to join the guys in Australia,
0:40:05 > 0:40:11and we visited a lovely surfer's paradise
0:40:11 > 0:40:14beach club there, where they had a lot of
0:40:14 > 0:40:16exhibition water-skiing.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22And that was amazing, Jimmy was very impressed with that.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25He was a pretty good water skier himself, actually.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32We were just one happy family, really.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38It was tough times, I tell you.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Somebody's got to do it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Jim's talent had not only brought him fame.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55By now, he was earning big money too.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Jim Clark was never someone who you thought
0:40:59 > 0:41:02in the same bracket as thinking about money.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08He never discussed it and he never wanted to discuss it.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10No, no.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I don't even know what he was paid.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Jim's accountants certainly knew, and with a tax rate for the rich
0:41:17 > 0:41:23of 93 per cent at the time, he was strongly advised to move abroad.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Jim chose Paris.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Friends there helped him find an apartment,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30and all the creature comforts he could ever want.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32But as a tax exile,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36he'd be unable to step on British soil for a whole year.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42And he very, very reluctantly left the country,
0:41:42 > 0:41:47and I think that was a very tough time for him.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Not being allowed just to come and go as you please.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Probably financially, it all seemed much better.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58I'm sure, from a point of view of quality of life, it wasn't.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08Well, that was probably about the time we broke up really.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12I couldn't go to all the races, of course, I had to work as well.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14And I couldn't get to all the races,
0:42:14 > 0:42:19so sometimes there were some lonely times, right.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22It was very sad, because everyone identified very much
0:42:22 > 0:42:26with the two of them, they were very, very close and doubtlessly,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29obviously the love of his life, you know?
0:42:31 > 0:42:33I wasn't getting any younger,
0:42:33 > 0:42:40and we'd been going out for three or four years, so...
0:42:40 > 0:42:44he wasn't making up his mind too quickly, so...
0:42:44 > 0:42:47that's how it happened.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52And as it turned out,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54probably that was for the best.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Some tough challenges now lay ahead for Jim
0:43:07 > 0:43:10as the 1967 season got underway.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Being a tax exile,
0:43:12 > 0:43:16Jim had been unavailable to test his car during the winter.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21The first time he even saw it, was the first race of the season.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24It would take a miraculous drive to win.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50'Jim Clark rips the new Lotus Ford around Zandvoort,
0:43:50 > 0:43:54'in the '67 Dutch Grand Prix, breaking all lap records.'
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Clark was on winning form again that season,
0:44:02 > 0:44:06delighting his fans at the British Grand Prix.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12It was the 5th time he'd won this event.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22But elsewhere, mechanical gremlins returned once again...
0:44:24 > 0:44:28..and Clark found himself retiring from races when leading the field.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32First, it was Belgium.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36Then France.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38And again in Canada.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44The frustration of scoring no points,
0:44:44 > 0:44:49despite having the fastest car in the field, was beginning to show.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53And a veteran like Clark also knew that when something
0:44:53 > 0:44:57broke in the car, it could have very serious consequences.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59They were fragile.
0:44:59 > 0:45:04And towards the end of his career, he was beginning to become sensitive
0:45:04 > 0:45:07about that and more nervous about it,
0:45:07 > 0:45:12and perhaps a tad less trusting of Colin.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16And I think that there were a few chinks
0:45:16 > 0:45:19appearing in that relationship.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28Ironically, it was to be yet another setback at the Italian Grand Prix
0:45:28 > 0:45:33at Monza, that elevated Clark to the stuff of legend.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36Forced into the pits with a puncture,
0:45:36 > 0:45:40he rejoined the race a full lap behind.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Incredibly, he retook the lead.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47But on the very last lap, his car ran out of fuel.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52John Surtees won the race.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55But it was Jim who won the Italians' hearts.
0:46:08 > 0:46:09Back in Paris,
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Jim had discovered his new home was in fact
0:46:12 > 0:46:16a most agreeable place to unwind from the stresses of motor racing.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20When he was in Paris,
0:46:20 > 0:46:23I feel...
0:46:23 > 0:46:26he was like if he was on holiday, you know?
0:46:30 > 0:46:33We never talked together about racing.
0:46:34 > 0:46:40We was young, and we spent two years together, you know,
0:46:40 > 0:46:43to play with life.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48We were going to all the fashion restaurants,
0:46:48 > 0:46:52and we were going nightclub.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57I think at that time,
0:46:57 > 0:47:00he prefers a nice woman than a nice wine, you know?
0:47:04 > 0:47:08Well, I think he got into a bit of excitement in Paris,
0:47:08 > 0:47:11I don't think there's much doubt about that.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15But I don't think that it was, er, it didn't faze him at all.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17He might have loosened off a little bit
0:47:17 > 0:47:22and became a little bit more liberated perhaps, but, erm,
0:47:22 > 0:47:25he was still deep down the Border farmer.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Jimmy never changed really, deep down.
0:47:35 > 0:47:40The last two races of 1967 produced back-to-back wins for Clark,
0:47:40 > 0:47:43though came too late for him to win the world title.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49And at the first race of the 1968 season,
0:47:49 > 0:47:53he established a new record of 25 wins in Formula One.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Jim Clark was now, officially,
0:47:58 > 0:48:01the greatest driver the world had ever seen.
0:48:06 > 0:48:12He had set up a record as good as any record of any racing driver.
0:48:13 > 0:48:1725 wins and 72 starts.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20I mean, that is an incredible record.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28I keep it in the back of my mind
0:48:28 > 0:48:32that I don't want to go on motor racing forever.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34I know one can't do that.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37And for that very reason, I...
0:48:37 > 0:48:41try to look at the future and see what I'm going to do
0:48:41 > 0:48:43once I give up motor racing.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47I started motor racing because I enjoy it,
0:48:47 > 0:48:50and I still motor race because I do enjoy it.
0:48:50 > 0:48:57And, er, it's a very difficult thing to give up, or to change one's life,
0:48:57 > 0:49:01and come back and settle down...
0:49:01 > 0:49:05to this quiet,
0:49:05 > 0:49:07as it were, all the time.
0:49:10 > 0:49:16Friends of Jim's remain convinced he was close to finally quitting the sport.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18A 3rd and final world championship
0:49:18 > 0:49:21would be a spectacular way to bow out.
0:49:22 > 0:49:26He, at that time, was going to be the man to beat.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29There's no doubt in my mind about that.
0:49:31 > 0:49:36That was going to be a season to end all seasons.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55There was a time of course when we all jumped into different cars,
0:49:55 > 0:50:01and Jimmy was...I do believe, he wasn't supposed to be at that race.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Fellow drivers recall he'd been frustrated
0:50:05 > 0:50:07with the car's lack of performance in practice,
0:50:07 > 0:50:11and had only been able to qualify 7th on the grid.
0:50:17 > 0:50:22And then, on the morning of the race, it rained.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33'How much...
0:50:33 > 0:50:38'does danger to come into it, or do you honestly never think about it?
0:50:38 > 0:50:42'No, I do, erm...
0:50:42 > 0:50:44'from time to time.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47'Especially, you know, if there are a lot of trees about
0:50:47 > 0:50:48'or something like that.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50'If you go off you're going to hit them really hard.'
0:50:59 > 0:51:03There is only one living witness to what happened that day,
0:51:03 > 0:51:06former race marshal, Winfried Kolb.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03'Reports are coming in that racing driver, Jim Clark,
0:52:03 > 0:52:05'has been killed whilst competing...'
0:52:05 > 0:52:09ANNOUNCER SPEAKS IN FRENCH
0:52:16 > 0:52:20I heard it on the Dutch radio,
0:52:20 > 0:52:25and they used the word "overleden", and I didn't understand that word.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29So I jumped out of the car and ran to my father-in-law and said,
0:52:29 > 0:52:31"What does overleden mean?"
0:52:31 > 0:52:33And he said, "Oh, no."
0:52:33 > 0:52:36I was at home and I turned the television on,
0:52:36 > 0:52:39and there was a picture of Jim Clark's face.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41And I knew...
0:52:41 > 0:52:45instantly what had happened. He'd died.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48A terrible shock.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55And that's how it hit the whole world of motor sport.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57I mean, it was just total shock.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Very sad.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03An icon had gone.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13Jim Clark came home for the last time.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34The funeral was extremely moving.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39And people had come there from all over the world.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Dan Gurney came all the way from California,
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Graham, of course, was there,
0:53:51 > 0:53:56and everybody that should have been there, was there.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06The world was never the same again.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22The whole town, the whole village of Chirnside were grieving.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26And the whole of Berwickshire was, really.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32And I thought...
0:54:33 > 0:54:35I thought that was incredible really.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55I don't know what actually happened.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58It wouldn't have been a driver error.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00So it was something else.
0:55:00 > 0:55:06Jimmy Clark was too good a driver to have that happen to him.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Something had to break.
0:55:08 > 0:55:09I honestly don't know.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12I mean, you know,
0:55:12 > 0:55:16the conclusion seems to be that it was a tyre.
0:55:17 > 0:55:25It's reasonably common knowledge, that he had a deflating rear tyre.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28It was a very careful investigation of his car
0:55:28 > 0:55:31by aircraft crash investigators.
0:55:31 > 0:55:35Everything was looked into most carefully.
0:55:35 > 0:55:40Whatever the cause of the crash, Jim Clark was gone.
0:55:41 > 0:55:45His was the first of several fatal accidents that season,
0:55:45 > 0:55:49and more would follow in a sport where death had become commonplace.
0:55:53 > 0:55:59I think Jim Clark's loss was the one that hit everybody most.
0:56:01 > 0:56:05He was a big, big favourite around the world.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08And turned out to be a legend.
0:56:12 > 0:56:16Four decades on, events all over the world are still held in his honour,
0:56:16 > 0:56:20including the Jim Clark Revival Meeting at Hockenheim.
0:56:24 > 0:56:28Elsewhere, the cars he once drove are still displayed,
0:56:28 > 0:56:31many of them maintained by the same Lotus mechanics
0:56:31 > 0:56:33who once worked with him.
0:56:35 > 0:56:39And in the town of Duns, just a few miles from the farm,
0:56:39 > 0:56:42a small museum now houses his many trophies
0:56:42 > 0:56:45and ephemera from his racing career.
0:56:47 > 0:56:51He would be astonished, and we are amazed at the interest still.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54It is quite incredible.
0:56:55 > 0:57:00We all go sooner or later, but they feel that he put them
0:57:00 > 0:57:04on the map. In a way that's very nice...
0:57:04 > 0:57:06and he did.
0:57:07 > 0:57:14He was a great symbol of what motor racing
0:57:14 > 0:57:17and champions, true champions, could really be.
0:57:17 > 0:57:22And would that in all the sports that we now see,
0:57:22 > 0:57:25we had champions who had a similar attitude. Thank you.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45And of course, Jimmy was never to be replaced, never will be.
0:57:45 > 0:57:49He's er...he was a special man,
0:57:49 > 0:57:54one of a kind, and the like we have never seen since.
0:57:54 > 0:58:02It's been a long time, but...yeah...
0:58:02 > 0:58:04It's just been a long time.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07I miss him like everybody else does, really.
0:58:07 > 0:58:13I think that when someone like that dies,
0:58:13 > 0:58:18they never completely die within your own memory.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20And who knows,
0:58:20 > 0:58:22we may even meet again.
