Calling The Shots, Director's Cut: On TV

Episode 3 - On TV

In the third installment of our revisit of the documentary series made by Adam and Daniel Norcross during the first Covid lockdowns of 2020 we shift medium, from radio to television. With guests Harsha Bhogle, Jim Maxwell, Mark Nicholas and Dan Waddell, the episode explores how TV broadcasts evolved from humble beginnings into the mega machines they are today.

Along the way, it becomes clear how the relationship between the game and vision has enjoyed an interesting evolution, with the sport challenged and influenced in unexpected ways by what is transmitted into the living rooms of viewers around the world.
