    Aug 31 2021

    In 1985 and 1986, mercurial climber Philippa York twice came one step away from becoming Britain’s first Grand Tour winner – only for a combination of bad luck, mismanagement, Machiavellian machinations and team alliances to thwart her.

    Re-Cycle is written by Felix Lowe, narrated by Graham Willgoss, and produced by Pete Burton.
