Retro TV Grandstand with Des Lynam

Retro TV Grandstand with Des Lynam

Grandstand first appeared on television screens in October, 1958, presented briefly by Peter Dimmock and then by David Coleman. It soon established itself as the BBC's flagship Saturday afternoon sports programme, featuring football previews, live horse racing and much more. Frank Bough took over the anchor role in 1968, handing it on to Des Lynam in 1983. 

A key element of the show since its inception was Final Score during which the day's football results would appear on-screen via the teleprinter. By the 1980s, these were displayed on the much more hi-tech vidiprinter.

When most of the matches had ended, it was then time for a reading of the classified football results, which was undertaken from 1958 to 1995 by Len Martin, followed by the pools news and then a look at the League tables. 

On April 1st, 1989, while Des was presenting the show, a 'fight' broke out in the background between members of the production staff but it was later announced that it had been staged as an April Fools Day prank.
