Watched it last night and it was excellent, seeing what he had to go through just to get on the flight, it looked fun in the vomet comet but the end was very special as he was on the edge of space 70.000ft and the view was spectacular. all in all a great programme.
Even the g-force machine didn't upset him. (centrfuge)

Unfortunately not on BBC iplayer any more  :(

...fortunately on another link instead  :) ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lfdbv

A great documentary with James May. It was cool seeing the contrail towards the end of a normal airliner, miles below him. Nice music too  ;D
