Fischer-Spassky BBC Documentary
Following is an excerpt from Mark Weeks's About Chess newsletter for April 30:
The BBC documentary on the 1972 match between World Champion Boris Spassky and challenger Bobby Fischer has been available on the Web for some time. It features interviews with both Fischer and Spassky, plus other chess luminaries having inside knowledge of the match: Robert Byrne, Larry Evans, Nikolai Krogius, and many others.
If you haven't seen it, the full video is available on Google Video:Fischer vs Spassky Documentary (36:36).
Or you can see it split into four parts on YouTube:
Documentary Fischer vs Spassky: Part 1 (5:11), Part 2 (10:19), Part 3 (10:13), Part 4 (10:50).
