| Quote A moving documentary on the life and times of rugby league commentator and TV entertainer Eddie Waring, will be shown on BBC Four this September.
One hundred years on from his birthday, Eddie Waring: Mr Rugby League (BBC Four, 9pm, Tuesday 7 September) traces the history of the sport through the life of the former journalist from Dewsbury who rose to become one of the stars of light entertainment before being hit by dementia and finally ending his days in a psychiatric hospital in Leeds.'"

| Quote [i=#400040The 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

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.
