John Lee Hooker was one of the greatest bluesmen of the 20th century. Born into poverty and racial segregation, he lived through a monumental time in American history. This is the story of a cultural icon, and his far-reaching impact on popular music, told in his own words and those of his family and closest collaborators. Interviews with Keith Richards, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt and Robert Cray tell how an illiterate man from the rural and impoverished backwaters of the Mississippi Delta influenced their own musical journey. We reveal his part in bringing the Blues to a new generation of young British musicians and how, in turn, those musicians introduced young, mainstream Americans to their own cultural heritage.

In this sad world where words unspoken do more damage than words spoken too much, a woman and her lodger are destined to stay on separate paths.

However, for the 250,000 trackside fans the real entertainment was going on down the field in the GTE Pro race. In an incredible three-way, race-long struggle Aston Martin, Ford and Chevrolet ended up being separated by just seconds after a full 24 hours of tough but fair competition.

There s also behind-the-scenes access, interviews with the stars, special features and much more to bring you comprehensive coverage of the 2009 Le Mans. Peugeot was determined to claim victory and finally break Audi s five year domination of the race. Once again it would be a battle of the diesels as Peugeot s tried and tested 908 HDi FAP took on the all-new R15 TDi, Audi s latest challenger. The French marque s outright pace put it at the front of the field, while reliability issues dented to hopes of 2009 victors Allan McNish, Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen.

The 2020 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans provided a beacon of entertainment in a year that saw so much upset and gloom. Although there were no spectators on hand to enjoy the annual endurance test, the teams and drivers were no less focused and competitive than usual. Toyota led the charge in the final full year of the LMP1 category, whilst no fewer than 15 Oreca LMP2s crossed the line after 24 hours of racing. In the GTE classes there was extremely close racing all the way through the night and into the second day as Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin fought for dominance. The line-up of drivers throughout the field saw previous winners including Se´bastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, Kazuki Nakajima alongside talented racers such as Bruno Senna, Henry Tincknell, Paul di Resta and the all-female crew of Tatiana Calderon, Sophia Florisch and Beitske Visser.

The 2015 24 heures du Mans saw a huge battle between German titans Audi and Porsche and Japanese giants Toyota and Nissan. Would Audi, who in recent years have made the Circuit de la Sarthe resound to the cheers of their supporters, or Porsche whose spiritual home is on the Mulsanne emerge triumphant, or could one of the Japanese factories achieve what Mazda did in 1991 and knock the Europeans of the top spot in their own back yards? How would the always fascinating GT dust-up sort itself out?

2014 saw the eagerly anticipated return of Porsche to the Le Mans fray. The 919 hybrid looked to add to the legend forged by cars like the 917, 956 and 911. Le Mans in 2014 is a very different proposition to that faced by the Munich company's designers and engineers in 1998 when they last won the historic race outright. Audi, Porsche's stablemate certainly weren't going to hand their hard won LMP1 crown to Porsche without a fight and (relatively) new kids on the block Toyota had their sights firmly set on a first win. In short, Porsche had a heck of a hill to climb. It all made for one of the most thrilling Le Mans 24 races in recent memory and gave the commentary team at Radio Le Mans more than enough subject matter for their marathon efforts. Add in to the mixture a truly exciting LMP2 class and some great racing amongst the GTEs and you've got the perfect recipe for the most prestigious motor race on the calendar.
