Match of the Day - Behind-the-scenes on a Live Outside Broadcast

Behind the scenes of Match of the Day - From St James Park - This was shot in January 1995.
Match of the Day (abbreviated to MOTD) is a "football highlights and analysis" programme, typically broadcast on BBC One on Saturday evenings, during the Premier League season.
The show's current presenter is former England international striker Gary Lineker.
It is one of the BBC's longest-running shows, having been on air since 22 August 1964. In 2015, Guinness World Records recognised it "as the longest-running football television programme in the world."
The show's theme tune was voted the most recognised TV theme tune in a 2010 poll conducted by the PRS.
Although the title was first used by the BBC for its Wimbledon tennis highlights programme in June 1964, the first football-related edition of Match of the Day was screened on BBC Two on 22 August 1964 and showed highlights of a game between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield. The programme's audience was estimated at only 20,000, less than half of the attendance at the ground.
Match of the Day was not universally welcomed in the football world; in 1965 several clubs attempted to block a renewed deal with the BBC in fear of a drop in gate attendances at matches.[8] Eventually, a compromise was reached where the BBC agreed not to reveal which match was to be shown until after the day's play had concluded. The first colour edition of Match of the Day on BBC 1 was shown on 15 November 1969, where it featured a game between Liverpool and West Ham United. However, the very first colour edition was shown on 2 November 1968 on BBC 2 when a game between Chelsea and Manchester City was featured (BBC 2 was transmitted on 625 lines capable of showing colour)
