Overview

The Last Dance is a sports documentary miniseries co-produced by ESPN Films and Netflix. The Last Dance compiled unique recordings made by the NBA filmmaking team during the 1997-98 season. Then Michael Jordan gave the television crew full access to the team's locker room and his hotel room, on the condition that the footage could be used only after his permission. After many years and rejections in 2016, Jordan finally agreed with the filmmakers' proposal, which allowed this series to be shown.

In addition to archival materials from 1997-98. and numerous recordings of previous NBA seasons, up to the mid-60s, the series includes many modern interviews with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoč, Steve Kerr, B.J. Armstrong, Horace Grant - the stars of the Chicago Bulls.

The Last Dance features the stunning basketball that Bulls players and their opponents demonstrated during the 1991–1998 seasons. There are many basketballs and successful throws performed by Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, and others.

A masterpiece (18 May 2021) Amazing behind the scenes, I am still surprised they even exist to such detail. This documentary got me to return to the game after 7 years of little to no playing. This series resurfaced my deep love for this game. Why not give it a 10 you ask? Well ...it's the time jumps. What were they even thinking?? They make no sense, they are distracting and forced. Just follow the damn timeline, it's a damn documentary. It makes so little sense to me to use such an erratic way of presenting the story. I mean, Bulls did the heavy lifting for 8 years and gave you gold, you had one bloody job...

Doctor Who Confidential is a documentary series created by the British Broadcasting Corporation to complement the revival of the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Each episode was broadcast on BBC Three on Saturdays, immediately after the broadcast of the weekly television episode on BBC One. The running time of the first two series was 30 minutes, being extended to 45 minutes in the third. BBC Three also broadcast a cut-down edition of the programme, lasting 15 minutes, shown after the repeats on Sundays and Fridays and after the weekday evening repeats of earlier seasons. Described as focusing on the human element of the series, Confidential features behind-the-scenes footage on the making of Doctor Who through clips and interviews with the cast, production crew and other people, including those who have participated in the television series over the years of its existence. Each episode deals with a different topic, and in most cases refers to the Doctor Who episode that preceded it. There have also been two episodes of Doctor Who Confidential broadcast apart from the showing of Doctor Who episodes: in November 2006 an edition subtitled "Music and Monsters" was produced going behind the scenes of a televised concert of soundtrack music produced as part of that year's Children in Need appeal, and on 3 January 2009, a special edition was broadcast to announce the actor chosen to play the Eleventh Doctor.
