Motorbike Fan's Anger After ITV4 Screens The Wrong 'Road' Movie

Motorcycling enthusiasts were left befuddled and angry after tuning in to watch a scheduled documentary movie on ITV4 last night.

They had expected to see ‘Road’, Michael Hewitt and Dermot Lavery’s celebrated 2014 feature-length doc about motorcycle road racers Joey and Robert Dunlop, narrated by Liam Neeson.

– New Matthew McConaughey movie earns just $2730
– Mel Gibson Plans Passion Of The Christ Sequel
– Tom Hughes For James Bond?

Instead, a missing ‘the’ got in there, and somehow they got ‘The Road’ instead.

John Hillcoat’s brilliant but grim and unremitting adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s brilliant but grim and unremitting, post-apocalyptic novel doesn’t really feature any motorcycles.

Though a shopping trolley does feature quite heavily, and there’s a bit with a pick-up truck in it.

And while it also notable for its excellent performances from Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee, it was little consolation for racing fans, who complained with vim and vigour.

So far, ITV4 has not addressed the complaints, but the lesson here is don’t cross the petrolheads.
