Title: Bristol City 1982 - World In Action Documentary Post by: Bedford Red on Wednesday, August 3, 2022, 22:35:42 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvKn5pkeZ8c
Whilst i knew the story about Bristol City and how close they came to going bust in 1982, i found this video on-line today, being a World in Action documentary about it at the time. Different times watching that... Title: Re: Bristol City 1982 - World In Action Documentary Post by: 4D on Thursday, August 4, 2022, 10:00:45 Ah, that theme tune :nod:

SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, August 5, 2022, 15:39:51 1982...it really was a different world back then - Better in some ways, far worse in others. The documentary looks so quaint now and of course Alec Stock (then a director of Bournemouth) was the entire basis of Ron Manager, the Fast Show character.
The World In Action theme tune is absolutely fantastic - It's a great piece of music in it's own right (there were actually two - the opening theme and a more downbeat closing theme which was replaced by the Wurzels in that particular episode) but if you are of a certain age it is so evocative and really brings back some memories. Love the Weekend World theme as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYr_WpL2pi8 Title: Re: Bristol City 1982 - World In Action Documentary Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, August 5, 2022, 15:47:24 Love both of these as well from the 70's...very different but equally evocative...
