 Stewart Documentary Launched in London Thursday January 31st, 2002
'The Flying Scot' documentary was made by Jackie's youngest son Mark, and includes archive footage and a few cameo appearances from stars such as actor Sir Sean Connery, Murray Walker and Emerson Fittipaldi. The programme lasts 25 minutes and includes shots of Jackie's personal and professional life in Formula One to the soundtrack of Pink Floyd and The Who. The screening took place just hours after the announcement that the Prost Grand Prix team had folded, and Jackie had some personal words for his former fellow team principal Alain Prost. "It's very, very sad for Alain," said Sir Jackie. "There's nothing more I can say but I feel very sad for him and I will be writing him a personal note." The screening attracted some big names, and among the guests were Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, Sir William Purves, Lady Hamilton, and Damon Hill's mother, Betty. Unfortunately unable to attend the screening was Sir Jackie's eldest son Paul who was at the Mayo Clinic in America undergoing final tests in his battle against cancer. Adding to the emotion of the evening, Jackie was able to confirm that Paul's tests had in fact come through clear.
