| Quote: "[iThe programme explores how a damning report by a firm of management consultants recommended several changes to the rugby league and was critical of the BBC's coverage, saying it was detrimental to the game.
In 1976 a group call the 1895 Club claimed 11,000 fans had signed a petition asking for the removal of Eddie and for changes in the way the game was portrayed.

Reading the full press release, it seems like it will be a balanced and thought through piece... should be a good programme

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Makes sense. They do special nights quite often. In fact I think BBC Four is the best BBC channel. Ok not in terms of ratings perhaps but they have some excellent documentaries on there. Good public service broadcasting in my view. |

BBC Four is excellent. It's what BBC2 is supposed to be.
It's a "Northern Season", not a Rugby League Night though, AFAIK, though they might slip in a screening of "This Sporting Life" or something.
