THE 19-time champion jump jockey A.P. McCoy is to be the subject of a new all-access feature documentary made in association with BBC Films and the Irish Film Board. It’s a chance to record the working life of a jockey who has passed into the realms of legend while still operating at the top of his game and set against the most dramatic and picturesque of sports.

Currently filming at locations and racecourses across Britain and Ireland, Being AP (working title) has exclusive access to the Northern Irish jockey, his family and racing teams for the 2014-15 season.
