World Cup Coverage on Sky TV this week

[gg]

From Tim Pugh (World Cup Boss) -

All

I am writing to let you know that the second feature on the World Cup should be transmitted on Sky Sports this weekend. The 1 hour programme is scheduled to go out 4 times as follows:


SportNation 4 Friday 16/09/05 17:00 Sky Sports Xtra
SportNation 4 Friday 16/09/05 20:00 Sky Sports 3 Digital
SportNation 4 Saturday17/09/05 01:00 Sky Sports 3 Digital
SportNation 4 Saturday17/09/05 05:00 Sky Sports 3 Digital


Please publicise this as far and as wide as possible and set your VCRs

I have seen the preview and Graham Gristwood spent yesterday working with the producers as the co commentator when final changes were made. In my opinion, it is good and the coverage is about 20 minutes in length. It features the relay and the long distance the preview included interviews with several GBR runners and Tim Denton

The third and final programme featuring Battersea and Leith Hill is due to go out the following weekend - more details to follow next week.

I am also talking to Tilling about the production of the DVD - again more info in due course

Please distribute the transmission times to anyone who might be interested

Regards
Tim

Just been to a school meeting and was approached by a sixth form tutor who said she'd been made PE co-ord and wanted to get O into the primaries. Wanted them mapped and added as an aside would it be like the O she saw on the Telly as that looked like great fun.

The third and final programme on the World Cup is due to be transmitted this weekend.

I missed Part2 as I was away... is there a tape/DVD available?

[David May]

There's a plan to make DVDs of all three programmes and these should be available for sale in due course.

Also, if you're local to me, I have both programmes on VHS tape and plan to tape the next one too.
