The documentary was met with generally positive reviews. Richard Buskin, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beatles, commented that the retelling of the band's story was "extremely subjective" with the small lineup of only the four Beatles plus Martin, Aspinall and Taylor to voice their recollections. McCartney, Harrison and Starr "provided insights into their legend from the mature perspective of men in their fifties", according to Buskin, while "Lennon's [interviews] mostly originated from when he was in his twenties or thirties." When viewing the separate interviews, the three surviving Beatles did not always recall events the same way.

Bowie said that the "plodding tempo and rhythm" were inspired by the Velvet Underground song "I'm Waiting for the Man". Richard Buskin of Sound on Sound described Heroes as a "highly experimental piece of art rock". The music, co-written by Bowie and Eno, is in a two-chord progression (D–G), with a "brief excursion to familiar chords" in the key of G. Biographer David Buckley likens it to a Wall of Sound production, a forceful and noisy arrangement of guitars, percussion and synthesizers. Eno said the song always "sounded grand and heroic" and that he had "that very word – heroes – in my mind" even before Bowie wrote the lyrics.

The first Scottish effort, also referred to as a buskin, made use of a vaguely boot-shaped rawhide garment that was soaked with water, drawn over the foot and lower leg, and bound in place with cords. The contraption was slowly heated over a gentle fire, drastically contracting the rawhide and squeezing the foot until the bones were dislocated, though there would not have been sufficient pressure to actually crush the bones of the foot. A more progressive variant, found in both the British Isles and France, consisted of a trio of upright wooden boards that splinted around and between the feet, fundamentally identical to the Chinese foot torture known as kia quen, and were tied in place by cords. Wedges were hammered between the boards and the feet to dislocate and crush the bones.

Jane Plumer Erskine, but she was left an orphan by aged four by the death of her mother, then her stepmother and finally her father. She thus became a ward of her stepmother's relation George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll, growing up at his Inveraray Castle and marrying his second son Lord Archibald Campbell (1846–1913) on 12 January 1869 (their children included Niall Campbell, 10th Duke of Argyll). She became a friend of James Abbott McNeill Whistler (he produced three three-quarter-length portraits of her, including Lady in a Yellow Buskin, whilst her 1886 book Rainbow Music or The Philosophy of Harmony in Colour-Grouping was a much- influenced by his art) and produced several theatrical productions noted for their pastoral values, such as a Romeo and Juliet put on at Cadgwith, Cornwall in summer 1880 starring Helena Modjeska and Johnston Forbes-Robertson.

Lebanon's foremost sportsman and climber, Maxime Chaya was the first person from his country to hoist its flag atop Everest, and he did so en route to ascending the highest mountain on every continent – the Seven Summits – while also skiing to the North and South Poles. Written in conjunction with New York Times bestselling author Richard Buskin, and illustrated with more than 700 stunning, high-quality, comprehensively captioned photos, 'Steep Dreams: My Journey to the Top of the World' tells the story of Max's adventure-based achievements; of his brushes with death in a wide variety of settings, along with the physical pain, mental anguish, soul-searching, emotional highs and ultimate satisfaction of not only surviving, but also learning to contend with the forces and marvels of nature. It is, in short, the gripping, sometimes harrowing, always rewarding tale of one man's incredible trans-global journey and the realization of his most heartfelt lifelong ambition.
