SHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2023 - SPORTS
ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR THE OFFICIAL DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF
BBC SPORTS REPORT ‘Opens the doors to one of the great radio
institutions.' – Dan Walker ‘An absolute joy to read.’ –
John Inverdale 'That opening tune always quickens the pulse.' –
Henry Winter Sports Report is as much a 75-year history of sport as
a BBC radio institution and Pat Murphy pays handsome tribute to a
programme that is still followed affectionately by millions. For
nearly 75 years, one BBC programme has been a constant factor in
chronicling the way sport is covered, in all its many facets. It
has been a window on the sporting world all over the globe –
packed tightly into every Saturday evening for the bulk of the
year. First broadcast in 1948, Sports Report is the longest-running
radio sporting programme in the world and one of the BBC’s hardy
perennials. Pat Murphy has been a reporter on the programme since
1981 and here he sifts comprehensively through the experiences of
his contemporaries and those who made their mark on Sports Report
in earlier decades. He hears from commentators, reporters,
producers, presenters and the production teams who regularly
achieved the broadcasting miracle of getting a live programme on
air, without a script, adapting as the hour of news, reaction and
comment unfolded. Drawing on unique access from the BBC Archives
Unit, he highlights memorable moments from Sports Report, details
the challenges faced in getting live interviews on air from
draughty, noisy dressing-room areas and celebrates the feat of just
a small production team in the studio who, somehow, get the show up
and running every Saturday, with the clock ticking implacably on.
