Those Were the Days: 1966: World Cup

Documentary series about the real-life stories behind the headlines of the most memorable events in recent history. This edition focuses on the 1966 World Cup final when England took on the might of the West German team. Jane and Robin Stanley recall the run-up to their wedding, realising that it would fall on that momentous day, David Lafferty recounts his attempt to break the World underground endurance record in a cave in the Mendip Hills, and being totally unaware of the events taking place in the world above. Sir Chay Blythe and John Ridgeway remember how they took a break from their bid to row across the Atlantic ocean to listen to the match on their transistor radio, and lucky fan Denis Clareborough recounts how he felt as a spectator in Wembley Stadium to be part of the historic moment.
