Based on extensive archival research in the   BBC’s written archives and interviews with leading producers, editors and   commentators of the period, it provides a ‘behind-the-scenes’ narrative   history of this major institution of British cultural life. In 2016 the BBC   celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its television coverage of England’s   World Cup victory. Their coverage produced one of the most oft-played moments   in the history of television, Kenneth Wolstenholme’s famous line: ‘Some   people are on the pitch, they think it’s all over … it is now!’ as Geoff Hurst   scored England’s fourth goal, securing England’s 4-2 victory. It was a   landmark in English football as well as a watershed in the BBC’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n   \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-11-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137454997\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-45501-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 347\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752457171084,"sku":"9781137454997","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137454997.jpg?v=1775924223","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137454997","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
