Sinopsis

This book provides the first detailed account of the formative decades of BBC televised sport when it launched its flagship programmes Sportsview, Grandstand and Match of the Day. Based on extensive archival research in the BBCâÇÖs written archives and interviews with leading producers, editors and commentators of the period, it provides a âÇÖbehind-the-scenesâÇÖ narrative history of this major institution of British cultural life. In 2016 the BBC celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its television coverage of EnglandâÇÖs World Cup victory. Their coverage produced one of the most oft-played moments in the history of television, Kenneth WolstenholmeâÇÖs famous line: âÇÖSome people are on the pitch, they think itâÇÖs all over ... it is now!âÇÖ as Geoff Hurst scored EnglandâÇÖs fourth goal, securing EnglandâÇÖs 4-2 victory. It was a landmark in English football as well as a watershed in the BBCâÇÖs highly professionalised approach to televised sport. How the BBC reached this peak of television expertise, and who was behind their success in developing the techniques of televised sport, is the focus of this book. á
