An unofficial follow-up to three BBC2 documentaries that were part of the <b>Chronicle</b> strand, the authors put forward a - frankly <i>barmy</i> - hypothesis that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, had one or more children and that descendants of the line emigrated to what is now Southern France. Once there, they intermarried with the noble families which would eventually become the Merovingian dynasty, whose claim to the throne of France was championed by a secret society called the Priory of Sion. They concluded that the Holy Grail was, in fact, this sacred royal bloodline. An international bestseller on its release, <i>The Holy Blood & The Holy Grail</i> spurred interest in its central thesis and was a major influence on Dan Brown's drivelling nonsense <i>The Da Vinci Code</i>. In 2005, Tony Robinson narrated <b>The Real Da Vinci Code</b>, shown on Channel Four, a critical evaluation of the theories of Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln (and, subsequently, Brown). The programme included lengthy interviews with many of the protagonists. Arnaud de Sède, son of Gérard de Sède, stated categorically that his father and Pierre Plantard (authors of the 1967 book <i>L'Or De Rennes</i>) had 'made up' the existence of the supposedly one thousand-year-old Priory of Sion and described the entire story as 'piffle.' Historian Richard Barber wrote: 'The Templar-Grail myth is at the heart of the most notorious of all the Grail pseudo-histories, <i>The Holy Blood & The Holy Grail</i>, which is a classic example of the conspiracy theory of history. It is, essentially, a text which proceeds by innuendo, not by refutable scholarly debate.' Or, in other words, it's a load of <i>horseshit</i>. An <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1982-03-04">unofficial cricket tour of South Africa</a> by and 'England' squad captained by Graham Gooch began. The tour was originally to be financed by Holiday Inns, who made their support conditional on Ian Botham being part of the touring party. When he decided not to take part, it was left to South African Breweries to underwrite the cost, leading to the touring side being named as the South African Breweries England XI. The squad included Geoffrey Boycott, Alan Knott, Dennis Amiss, John Emburey, Mike Hendrick, Chris Old, Derek Underwood and Peter Willey. Upon their return, the players each received three-year international bans from the TCCB, effectively ending the test careers of most of them (Gooch and Emburey did, eventually, return to the national side). Over the course of the 1980s, a further six rebel tours were undertaken to South Africa by players from different test-playing nations. <br />

Argentinian Mirages attacked the task force, whilst British planes attacked the Port Stanley airfield. In Operation Black Buck, a Royal Air Force Vulcan bomber took off from Ascension Island, flew eight thousand miles (entailing much mid-air refueling) and bombed Port Stanley Airport. The runway sustained limited damage but the psychological effects were far greater in that Argentine intelligence were unable to determine how the British had managed to conduct such an audacious attack. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1982-05-01">Sea Harriers</a> also attacked on the same target - the BBC's Brian Hanrahan memorably managed to work around reporting restrictions, stating: 'I'm not allowed to say how many planes joined the raid, but I counted them all out and I counted them all back.'

With Algeria and Chile having played the day previously, a win by one goals for West Germany would result in both the Germans and Austria qualifying at the expense of Algeria. West Germany took the lead after ten minutes through Horst Hrubesch, after which the remaining eighty minutes were characterised by few serious scoring attempts by either side. Both teams were accused of match-fixing, although FIFA ruled that neither team had actually broken any rules. In Group One, Cameroon held both Poland and Italy to draws and were only denied a place in the next round on the basis of having scored fewer goals than Italy. Italian journalists and <i>tifosi</i> heavily criticised their team for their uninspired performances; the squad was still reeling from the recent Serie A scandal where several national players were suspended for match fixing and illegal betting.

England drew nil-nil with Spain and were eliminated from the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_one_london/1982-07-05">World Cup</a> in the second group stage despite not having lost a game. Kevin Keegan and Trevor Brooking - both playing for their country for the final time - came on in the sixty third minute and the double substitution nearly brought reward. Keegan headed wide from the best chance of the match and Brooking had a shot well saved. Ron Greenwood retired as England manager after five years and was succeeded by Ipswich Town's Bobby Robson. The <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1982-07-05">World Cup</a> match between Brazil and Italy was the game of the tournament. Gentile was assigned to mark Zico, earning a yellow card and a suspension for the semi final. Paolo Rossi opened the scoring when he headed in Antonio Cabrini's cross with just five minutes played. Sócrates equalised seven minutes later. In the twenty-fifth minute Rossi stepped past Júnior, intercepted a pass from Cerezo across the Brazilians' goal and scored. The Brazilians threw everything at Italy in search of another equaliser. In the second half, Falcão collected a pass from Júnior and scored from twenty yards. At this stage, Brazil would have been through on goal difference, but in the seventy fourth minute, a poor clearance from an Italian corner saw Rossi score for the third time. In the dying moments Dino Zoff made a miraculous save to deny Oscar a goal, ensuring that Italy advanced to the semi final.

Italy beat Poland in the first <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_one_london/1982-07-08">World Cup Semi-Final</a> through two goals from Paolo Rossi. In the game between France and West Germany, the Germans opened the scoring through Pierre Littbarski. The French equalised nine minutes later with a Michel Platini penalty. In the second half a long through ball sent French defender Patrick Battiston racing towards the German goal. Battiston flicked it past German keeper Harald Schumacher from the edge of the penalty area. Schumacher did not seem to go for the ball and clattered straight into the oncoming Battiston which left the French player unconscious. Schumacher's action has been described as 'one of history's most shocking fouls.' The ball went just wide of the post and Dutch referee Charles Corver deemed Schumacher's tackle on Battiston not to be a foul and awarded a goal kick. Play was interrupted for several minutes while Battiston, still unconscious and with a broken jaw, was carried from the field on a stretcher. After Manuel Amoros had sent a twenty five-yard drive crashing onto the German crossbar in the final minute, the match went to extra time. France's sweeper Marius Trésor fired a volley under Schumacher's crossbar. Six minutes later, Alain Giresse added a third. In the one hundred and second minute a counter-attack culminated in a cross that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge turned in at the near post, reducing France's lead. Then Germany took a short corner and after France failed to clear, Littbarski's cross to Horst Hrubesch was headed back to Klaus Fischer who volleyed the ball past French keeper Jean-Luc Ettori with a bicycle kick, levelling the scores. The resulting penalty shoot-out was the first at a <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1982-07-08">World Cup finals</a>. Giresse, Manfred Kaltz, Manuel Amoros, Paul Breitner and Dominique Rocheteau all converted penalties until Uli Stielike was stopped by Ettori, giving France the advantage. But then Schumacher saved Didier Six's shot. Littbarski, Platini and Rummenigge all scored before France defender Maxime Bossis had his kick parried by Schumacher and Hrubesch scored and send Germany to the World Cup final. <br />

It was attended by the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Leonid Brezhnev and IOC President Lord Killanin. Although approximately half of the twenty four nations which boycotted the 1976 Olympics participated in Moscow, the 1980 games were disrupted by an even larger boycott led by the United States in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Sixty five countries invited did not take part. The impact of the boycott was mixed - some events such as swimming, track and field, boxing, basketball, diving, hockey and equestrian sports were hit hard. The vast majority of the medals were taken by the Soviet Union and East Germany in what was the most skewed medal tally since 1904. Eighty nations were represented, the smallest number since 1956. Seven nations made their first appearance at these games: Angola, Botswana, Cyprus, Jordan, Laos, Mozambique and Seychelles.

After the Olympics ended, the Soviet ambassador to Poland demanded that Kozakiewicz be stripped of his medal over his 'insult to the Soviet people.' The official response was that Kozakiewicz's arm gesture had been 'an involuntary muscle spasm caused by his exertion.' Britain's Neil Adams won silver in the Judo seventy one kilograms class. <br />

Ethiopia's Miruts Yifter won the five thousand metres, his second gold of the games having previously taken ten thousand metres gold four days earlier. Britain also won bronze medals in both of the women's relays; Heather Hunte, Kathy Smallwood, Beverley Goddard and Sonia Lannaman behind the impressive (and, almost certainly steroid-enhanced) East German and Soviet girls in four by one hundred metres and Linsey MacDonald, Michelle Probert, Joslyn Hoyte-Smith and Donna Hartley in the four by four hundred. <br />

When police rushed into the section where the fight was occurring and began swinging cane clubs about in an untoward manner, fans fled in panic and many were trampled. <br />

For the first time since 1973, the Soviet Union began the jamming of the radio frequencies of most Western news broadcasts, particularly the Voice of America and BBC World Service. Although, given that Communists are also atheists, this was probably <i>not</i> a case of jammin' in de name of de Lord. The decision was made to prevent Soviet citizens from learning news of the labour unrest in Poland. Although English and Georgian language programmes continued without deliberate interference, broadcasts in Russian and six other languages in the USSR were blocked by 'static-like noise or buzz created by high-powered transmitters built for that purpose' or by 'loud music.' William Sutherland, originally from Edinburgh, who occasionally worked as a male prostitute in London met the serial killer Dennis Nilsen in a pub near Piccadilly Circus. Nilsen could not recall precisely how he had murdered Sutherland, other than that he had strangled the man as he, himself, stood or knelt in front of his victim and, in the morning, 'there was another dead body.' Nilsen subsequently claimed to have killed a further seven unidentified men during 1980 and 1981 before his next confirmed victim, although elsewhere he also claimed to have fabricated three of these alleged crimes. <br />

Bianchi initially attempted an insanity defence, claiming that a personality separate from himself - 'Steven Walker' - had committed the murders. He convinced some psychiatrists that he suffered from multiple personality disorder, but investigators brought in their own psychiatrists, notably Doctor Martin Orne, who observed Bianchi and decided that he was faking it. Bianchi agreed to plead extremely guilty and testify against his accomplice, Angelo Buono, in exchange for leniency. He was eventually diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder and sexual sadism.

Elvis Costello got into a heated argument with members of Stephen Stills' touring entourage at a Holiday Inn in <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1979-03-15">Columbus, Ohio</a>. After Costello made various disparaging remarks about America - including some very unsavoury racially-based comments - he was punched by Bonnie Bramlett. Costello apologised at a New York City press conference a few days later, claiming that he had been drunk and was attempting to be deliberately obnoxious in order to bring the conversation to a swift conclusion, not anticipating that Bramlett would snitch up his comments to the press. Some time after the incident Costello revealed that he had declined an offer to meet Ray Charles - the subject of some of his comments - out of guilt and embarrassment, even though Charles himself had publicly forgiven Costello saying 'Drunken talk isn't meant to be printed in the paper.' Costello worked extensively in Britain's Rock Against Racism campaign both before and after the incident which inspired both his <i>Get Happy!!</i> song 'Riot Act' and The Attractions' cover of 'I Stand Accused' and was, ultimately forgiven. Unlike Bramlett who acquired a reputation as a Coppers Nark. <br />

However, Viv Richards (one hundred and thirty eight including three sixes) and Collis King (eighty six from just sixty six balls) consolidated the innings. Richards and the tail took the West Indies to a very imposing total of two hundred and eighty six for nine. England openers Mike Brearley (sixty four) and Geoff Boycott (fifty seven) scored very slowly. Their methodical opening partnership of one hundred and twenty nine took thirty eight overs. By the time both were out, the required run rate had dramatically risen. Graham Gooch played some hefty strokes in scoring his thirty two, taking England to one hundred and eighty three for two aided by Derek Randall. However, the loss of Gooch triggered a devastating collapse, as England lost eight wickets for eleven runs thanks largely to Joel Garner's five for thirty eight. The Tourists and The Police featured on Radio 1's <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/radio1/england/1979-06-23"><i>In Concert</i></a>. Yorkshire Police <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1979-06-23">revealed</a> the contents of an audio tape sent to Assistant Chief Constable George Oldfield by a man with a strong Wearside accent claiming to be The Yorkshire Ripper. The same individual had also sent Oldfield a series of taunting letters. This would, tragically, take detectives on a wild goose chase whilst Peter Sutcliffe, the actual serial-killer, murdered three further victims and attacked several others. Oldfield and other senior officers involved in the hunt for The Ripper consulted senior FBI Special agents John Douglas and Robert Ressler in an effort to construct a psychological profile. After hearing the tape, Ressler told Oldfield: 'You do realise, of course, that the man on the tape is <i>not</i> the killer, don't you?' Oldfield chose to ignore this observation. Northumbria Police, who were brought into the investigation, also had their doubts about the veracity of the claims made in the letters and the tape.

At the murder trial of the alleged serial killer Ted Bundy, incriminating physical evidence included impressions of the bite wounds Bundy had inflicted on Lisa Levy's buttock, which forensic odontologists Richard Souviron and Lowell Levine matched to castings of Bundy's teeth. The jury deliberated for less than seven hours before convicting him of the murders of Levy and Margaret Bowman at the Chi Omega House in February 1978 and three counts of attempted murder (for assaults on Karen Kleiner, Kathy Chandler and Cheryl Thomas). The trial judge, Edward Cowart, imposed death sentences for the murder convictions. Noting that the court had found both of these killings 'heinous, atrocious and cruel,' Cowart continued that they were, also, 'extremely wicked, shockingly evil, vile and the product of a design to inflict a high degree of pain and utter indifference to human life ... It is further ordered that on such scheduled date you'll be put to death by a current of electricity, sufficient to cause your immediate death, and such current of electricity shall continue to pass through your body until you are dead. Take care of yourself, young man. I say that to you, sincerely. It is an utter tragedy for this court to see such a total waste of humanity, I think, as I've experienced in this courtroom.

Anyone unfamiliar with the cult of Barry Sheene need look no further than one race - one he didn't even win - on a wet Sunday afternoon at Silverstone. At the <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1979-08-12">Marlboro British Motorcycle Grand Prix</a> the world title had already been lost to his great rival, American 'King' Kenny Roberts riding for Yamaha. The race started with Sheene performing an outrageous wheelie. Thereafter, the bikes of Sheene and Roberts seemed almost tied together, the two men constantly swapping the lead. The moment that defined the race came as Sheene passed the American at Woodcote. Sheene took one hand off the throttle and, at a speed in excess of one hundred and thirty miles per hour, turned and flicked a highly visible V-sign at his opponent! The moment is also remembered for Murray Walker's commentary. 'Look at that!' hyperventilated Murray.

The first episode of Elaine Morgan's acclaimed adaptation of <b>Testament Of Youth</b> - starring Cheryl Campbell - broadcast on BBC2. America thrashed Great Britain in <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1979-11-04">The Weightman Cup</a>. Britain had sent their strongest team in years - Virginia Wade, Sue Barker, Anne Hobbs, Jo Durie and Debbie Jevans - to defend the title which they won two years earlier. They ended up on the receiving end of a seven-nil hiding and won only one set in two days of competition. The <i>really</i> embarrassing aspect was they weren't even facing the strongest side the US could have put out. Billie Jean King was missing, though it said something about how much the American women wanted to win back the title that Chris Evert-Lloyd climbed out of a sickbed to play. In <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1979-11-04">Tehran</a>, a crowd of zealot students occupied the US Embassy and took over one hundred Americans hostages demanding that the deposed Shah, currently in New York, be returned to Iran to stand trial of his naughty ways.

Peter McDougall's <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1979-11-08"><b>Just A Boy's Game</b></a> broadcast in the <b>Play For Today</b> strand. <i>Monty Python's Life Of Brian</i> premiered in the UK. The religious satire drew accusations of blasphemy and protests from various <i>sick</i> religious nutters eager to get themselves a bit of publicity. Mary Whitehouse and some people you've never heard of, pamphleteered and picketed locations where the local cinema was screening the film, a campaign which was, subsequently, felt to have <i>boosted</i> publicity for the movie. To counter the mounting protests, an ingenious radio advertising campaign was launched featuring the mothers of John Cleese and Terry Gilliam. Muriel Cleese claimed that if the film didn't do well as her son was on a percentage she may well be evicted from her nice retirement home and that the move may kill her! She won an award for the advert. Thirty-nine local authorities either imposed an outright ban, or enforced an X certificate, effectively preventing the film from being shown, since the distributors said it could not be shown unless it was unedited and carried the original AA certificate. There is even a - probably apocryphal - story of one council banning the film even though the area did not have a cinema in which it could be shown. Some countries, including Ireland and Norway, banned showings entirely, with some of these bans lasting for decades (long after the film had been shown on television in some cases). The filmmakers used such notoriety to benefit their marketing campaign with, for example, posters in Sweden read: 'So funny, it was <i>banned in Norway</i>!' Anthony Harvey's <i>Wagle's Wing</i> - starring Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, Harvey Keitel and Stéphane Audran - premiered. <br />

<a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1979-11-09"><b>Nuclear Nightmares</b></a> broadcast. In a notorious episode of <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1979-11-09"><b>Friday Night Saturday Morning</b></a>, hosted by Tim Rice, a discussion was held about <i>Monty Python's Life of Brian</i> featuring John Cleese and Michael Palin and Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark Mervyn Stockwood, a right pair of dodgy hypocritical gangsters who could've done with a damned good punching live on-air, frankly. Sadly, this did not occur. The show began affably enough, with Cleese and Palin talking to Rice - the lyricist of <i>Jesus Christ Superstar</i> which had also been accused of 'blasphemy' a decade earlier. Then Stockwood and Muggeridge arrived and things got <i>nasty</i>. Cleese and Palin's protestations that the film was about the abuse of faith, not about faith itself were ignored and sneered at. Muggeridge claimed 'Christianity had been responsible for more good in the world than any other force in history.' Cleese asked 'what about the Spanish Inquisition?' Tragically, neither Muggeridge or Stockwood replied 'no one expects <i>them</i>.' The studio audience appeared to be largely on the side of the Pythons throughout, especially when Cleese said, 'four hundred years ago, we would have been burned for this film. Now, I'm suggesting that we've made an advance.' According to Palin - who appeared about as angry as anyone had <i>ever</i> seen him - the Bishop was 'outrageously dismissing any points we made.' The debate ended with the Bishop saying 'you'll get your thirty pieces of silver.' Palin later noted: 'It turned out, after the show, that they'd missed the first fifteen minutes of the film, they'd been having a nice lunch.' Backstage, according to Palin, he met Raymond Johnston from the Nationwide Festival of Light, a prominent Christian group which had been campaigning to have <i>Life Of Brian</i> banned. Johnston was extremely complimentary to Palin, saying that he had been 'embarrassed' by the performances of the Bishop and Muggeridge. A week later, <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1979-11-20"><b>Not The Nine O'Clock News</b></a> brilliantly sent the whole fiasco up with their <i>General Synod's Life Of Python</i> sketch. BBC2 broadcast <b>The Jacksons Live At The Rainbow</b>. The Carl Bridgewater murder trial ended with all four men found guilty. James Robinson and Vincent Hickey were sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. Michael Hickey was also found guilty of murder and sentenced to indefinite detention. Patrick Molloy was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to twelve years. Two decades later, all four had their <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewater_Four">convictions overturned</a>, albeit that a bit late for Molloy who had died in prison. The NORAD computers and the Alternate National Military Command Centre in Fort Ritchie, Maryland, detected an apparent massive Soviet nuclear strike. Strategic Air Command was notified, nuclear bombers prepared for take-off and intercontinental ballistic missile (crews were placed on alert.

One week after his arrival in Tallahassee, the escaped serial killer Ted Bundy entered Florida State University's <i>Chi Omega</i> sorority house. Where he bludgeoned Margaret Bowman, aged twenty one, with a piece of oak firewood as she slept, then garrotted her with a nylon stocking. He then entered the bedroom of twenty-year-old Lisa Levy and beat her unconscious, strangled her, tore one of her nipples, bit deeply into her left buttock and sexually assaulted her with a hair-spray bottle. In an adjoining bedroom he attacked Kathy Kleiner, breaking her jaw and Karen Chandler, who suffered a concussion and broken jaw. Both survived the attack; Kleiner later attributed their survival to car headlights illuminating the interior of their room and frightening away the attacker. Tallahassee detectives later determined that the four attacks took place in less than fifteen minutes, within earshot of more than thirty potential witnesses, all of whom heard nothing. After leaving the sorority house, Bundy broke into a basement apartment eight blocks away and attacked FSU student Cheryl Thomas, dislocating her shoulder and fracturing her jaw and skull in five places. She was left with permanent deafness and equilibrium damage which ended her dance career. On Thomas' bed, police found semen stains and a pantyhose 'mask' containing two hairs which were later linked to Bundy. <br />

England won the second test at Christchurch by one hundred and seventy four runs. The game was a personal triumph for Ian Botham who scored his maiden test century, took eight wickets <i>and</i> provided the single funniest moment in test cricket history, running out Geoff Boycott as England chased a declaration in their second innings. England had gained a first innings lead of one hundred and eighty three and fast runs were required on the fourth afternoon. Boycott - captaining the side in place of the injured Mike Brearley - crawled to twenty six off eighty balls. Ewen Chatfield then ran out Derek Randall when the batsman left his crease before the bowler had released the ball. Bob Willis, the vice-captain, furious and frustrated by Boycott's stonewalling, promoted Botham in the batting order with the now famous instruction, 'Run the bugger out.' Botham pushed the ball to short extra cover and called Boycott for an impossible single. Boycott, stunned beyond belief, kept muttering 'What have you done?' Botham went on to hit a quick thirty before Willis blew away the Kiwi batting (four for fourteen). Clive Radley made his test debut.

Ex-Highbury Grove pupil Toby Holloway, alleged that he had been slippered on average once a term at the school, often in front of classmates. The NUSS claimed that rules were 'blatantly ignored' in twenty ILEA schools, including Highbury Grove, saying that pupils in the schools are 'hit with plimsolls, drumsticks, books, board rubbers and a plastic mallet with a stud on the end.'

The <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1978-06-01">World Cup</a> began with its traditional - <i>tedious</i> - goalless draw in the opening game, holders West Germany against Poland. Controversy surrounded the tournament; hosts Argentina had suffered a military coup two years previously. In September 1977, Interior Minister General Albano Harguindeguy, stated that over five thousand six hundred people had recently '<i>disappeared</i>' under the regime. The infamous Naval Mechanics School held prisoners of <i>The Dirty War</i> and those captives could, reportedly, hear the roars of the crowd during matches held at River Plate's nearby Monumental Stadium. Because of the political turmoil, some countries - most notably The Netherlands - considered whether they should participate. Allegations that Johan Cruyff refused to go to Argentina because of political convictions were, subsequently, denied by him although his team-mate Win Van Hanegem and West Germany's Paul Breitner reportedly <i>did</i> decline to represent their countries because of opposition to the <i>junta</i>. The hosts also had all their games in the First Round kicking off in the evening, giving the Argentines the advantage of knowing where they stood in the group at any given time. Manager César Luis Menotti decided at the last moment not call up seventeen-year-old Diego Maradona to the squad. <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1978-06-01">David Gower</a> made his England cricket team debut in the first test against Pakistan at Edgbaston, classically pulling his first ball for four in a score of fifty eight.

Britain's sole representatives at the <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1978-06-03">World Cup</a>, Scotland, lost their opening game three-one to Peru, with Teófilo Cubillas scoring twice. Joe Jordan scored for Scotland whilst Don Masson had a penalty saved. The defeat was a hugely traumatic one for the Scots who had arrived in Argentina on a wave of (completely over-the-top) national euphoria - and cheered on by a number of <i>really wretched</i> pop singles celebrating the expected exploits of Ally's Tarten Army. The defeat was made even worse when Willie Johnston tested positive for illegal steroids after the game. The draw between Brazil and Sweden proved controversial; Welsh and professional misanthrope referee Clive The Whistle Thomas awarded Brazil a last minute corner and Zico headed the resulting set-piece into the net. But, Thomas had (he claimed) already blown for full-time whilst the ball was in the air and the goal was disallowed to Brazilian outrage.<br />

The third - and last - occasion at a World Cup where a national team did not wear its own kit. This occurred in the game between France and Hungary. Both teams arrived at the venue with only their white change kits, resulting in a delayed kick-off while officials borrowed shirts of a local team from Mar del Plata, Club Atlético Kimberley; the strips, vertical green and white stripes, were worn by France. With Michel Platini in outstanding form, they won three-one but were still eliminated after previous defeats to Italy and Argentina in <i>The Group Of Death</i>. The match between Italy and Argentina decided who topped the group. A goal from Roberto Bettega secured a win for Italy. This forced Argentina to move out of Buenos Aires and play their second round matches in Rosario although, arguably, they went into the weaker of the two Second Round groups.

The media post-mortem subsequently placed much blame on Ally MacLeod's much-criticised not to play Graham Souness in the opening two games. <br />

The first day of a <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1978-06-14">Davis Cup match</a> between Britain and Austria was not, perhaps, a place you'd except to find a political demonstration taking place but that's what happened when the Anti-Nazi League held a protest over the reported right-wing affiliations of Britain's then number one, Buster Mottram. Jaguar announced that it was recalling all post-1975 cars for fuel system checks after faults were discovered in the XJS. Tory Party chairman Lord Thorneycroft was accused of being involved in 'illegal price-fixing' by Labour MP Jeff Rooker who, subsequently, withdrew the comments. Jordan's King Hussein married twenty six-year-old Elizabeth Halaby. Kidnap charges against 'sex-in-chains runaway blonde' Joyce McKinney were to remain on file. With an accomplice, the former Miss Wyoming had imprisoned Mormon missionary Kirk Anderson, with whom she was obsessed, in a London flat. She subsequently fled the country whilst on bail having told the court 'I loved Kirk so much I would have skied down Mount Everest in the nude with a carnation up my nose!' The Scottish World Cup squad - and beleaguered manager, Ally Macleod - returned home after their humiliating elimination. They were probably not surprised to discover their official World Cup single with Rod Stewart, the horrific 'Ole Ola (Mulher Brasileira)', had slipped sixteen places in the charts. Theresa Bennett, aged twelve, won a sexual discrimination case at Newark County Court against the Football Association's decision to ban her from playing for a boys team.

At the <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1978-06-21">World Cup</a>, Arie Haan scored an outrageous winner against Italy as the Netherlands reached their second successive World Cup Final. It was Haan's second long-distance rocket in two games, having previously scored one against West Germany. In the game known as 'The Miracle of Cordoba', the Germans were surprisingly beaten three-two by Austria. Argentina delayed the kick-off of their last match to await the result of the Brazil-Poland encounter. Brazil won three-one, meaning that Argentina had to beat Peru by four clear goals to reach the final. Argentina eventually won six-nil. Subsequent rumours suggested that the Peruvian team (or, even, their government) may have been bribed or threatened into allowing Argentina to win by the necessary margin. Some accusations (which originated in the Brazilian media, to be fair) pointed to the fact that the Peruvian goalkeeper - Ramón Quiroga - had been born in Argentina. (Something of an eccentric character, Quiroga was nicknamed <i>El Loco</i> and, in an earlier game against Poland, had ran all the way into the opposition half and fouled Grzegorz Lato, receiving a yellow card from the referee, Pat Partridge.) There was also an - alleged - deal, reported by the British media which involved the delivery of a large grain shipment to Peru by Argentina and the unfreezing of a Peruvian bank account that was, allegedly, held by the Argentine Central Bank.

In the <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1978-06-25">World Cup final</a>, Argentina beat the Netherlands three-one. The Dutch accused the Argentines of using stalling tactics to delay the kick-off when the host team questioned the legality of a plaster cast on René van de Kerkhof's wrist which had already been cleared by FIFA. Mario Kempes opened the scoring for the hosts before Dick Nanninga equalised a few minutes from the end. Rob Rensenbrink had a glorious stoppage-time opportunity to win the game for the Dutch but his shot came back off the post. Argentina won after extra time, with goals from Daniel Bertoni and Kempes, who finished as the tournament's top scorer. <br />

Vicious was arrested and charged with her murder. Sir Peter Hayman, a career diplomat and intelligence operative, left a package of paedophilia-related material on a London bus. The police traced the package and discovered that Hayman, under the pseudonym of Peter Henderson, had used an apartment in Bayswater, to 'conduct obscene correspondence.' In the apartment, police found forty five diaries describing six years worth of 'sexual fantasies' concerning children and activities with prostitutes, articles of female clothing and much obscene literature. Hayman was investigated but eventually released without charge after being given a warning not to send obscene material through the post ever again. In November 1980, <i>Private Eye</i> magazine revealed these events and the following year, using parliamentary privilege, Geoffrey Dickens MP asked why Hayman had not been prosecuted for his sick and sordid crimes. In April 1981 Sir Michael Havers, the Attorney General, claimed in parliament that, whilst Hayman <i>was</i> a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange, he was never a member of its executive committee, so was not prosecuted as others were for publishing contact advertisements. In 1984, Hayman was convicted for an act of gross indecency in a public lavatory. <b>The Sweeney</b> episode <a href="https://tvrdb.com/members/listings/1978-10-12#thames"><i>Money, Money, Money</i></a> broadcast on Thames.<br />

The Who's lawsuit against their former managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp was settled with negotiations between <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1977-01-20">Pete Townshend</a> and Stamp in London. Pete received a one million dollar settlement and The Who gained the rights to all their recordings from 'Substitute' onwards. MCA also agreed to pay for the cost of a screenplay for <i>Quadrophenia</i>. During the settlement, Pete learned that Allan Klein now permanently owned a piece of his song copyrights as a result of a 1966 contract with Decca. Pete, who loathed Klein, was <i>appalled</i> by this. After the meeting, Pete and Stamp went to The Speakeasy where they watched John Otway's performance. Paul Cook and Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols approached them. Mistaking Cook for Johnny Rotten, Townshend told them that The Pistols would have to carry 'the rock 'n' roll banner' from now on as The Who were 'finished.' Instead of the snarled response he expected, the two Pistols expressed their admiration for The Who and declared they didn't want them to break-up! An <i>NME</i> photographer attempted to take a photo and a very drunk Townshend tried to punch him. Tearing up his million-dollar cheque, Pete left the club and passed out in a Soho gutter where a policeman, who recognised him, woke him and told him: 'Pete, you can go and sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away.' Townshend's reply was: '<i>Who the fuck are you</i>?!' The <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1977-01-21">following day</a>, a deeply hungover Townshend turned the events of this night into the first verse of a new song. The following week's <i>NME</i> reported on Pete's meeting with Cook and Jones. 'He thinks he's past it but he's still great,' said Cook. Jones added: 'He was a really great geezer even though he was, like, paralytic!' David Wickes's <i>Sweeney!</i> - starring John Thaw, Dennis Waterman, Ian Bannen, Lynda Bellingham, Barry Foster, Diane Keen, Colin Welland, Michael Coles, Brian Glover, Johnny Shannon and Nadim Sawalha - premiered. <br />

In a - with hindsight cowardly - act, the senior players leading the revolt sent the three local players in the squad, Irving Nattrass, Alan Kennedy and Paul Cannell, out to face the press. Later that day, the board - reluctantly - agreed to the players' demands and appointed Dinnis as manager. With subsequently hilarious consequences.

Thirty-five top international cricketers - including six of the current England team: Tony Greig, John Snow, Alan Knott, Derek Underwood, Dennis Amiss and Bob Woolmer - signed a deal to play round-robin tournaments in Australia later in the year organised by Australian TV magnate <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1977-05-11">Kerry Packer</a>. This followed the Australian Cricket Board's decision to turn down Packer's offer of one-and-a-half million dollars per year for the television rights to screen Australia's test matches on his Channel Nine network. Not unexpectedly, the British press were critical of what they sneeringly dubbed 'The Packer Circus' and reserved particular vitriol for the England captain Tony Greig, for his role in organising the break-away. Greig retained his position in the England team, but was stripped of the captaincy and replaced by Mike Brearley.<br />

Anthony 'Doc' Shiels, camping next to Urquhart Castle on the shore of Loch Ness, took 'some of the clearest pictures of The Monster.' Shiels, a professional stage magician and psychic, claimed to have 'summoned' the animal out of the water. He later described it as 'an elephant squid,' claiming the long neck shown in the photograph is, actually, the squid's 'trunk' and that a white spot at the base of the neck is its eye. Due to the lack of ripples, it has been declared a hoax - 'The Lch Ness Muppet' - and received its name because of its obviously staged appearance.

Marlar's aggressive, shouty indignant interrogation of Packer came unstuck when Packer proved to be articulate, witty and confident in his vision was the future of the game. The show significantly raised Packer's profile in the UK. The main goal of his trip to the UK was to meet the game's authorities and reach some type of compromise. He made a canny move by securing the services of Richie Benaud as a consultant. Benaud's standing in the game and his journalistic background helped to steer Packer through the internal politics.

'Large parts of the famous Wembley turf were probably being transplanted in Scottish gardens yesterday,' wrote <i>The Times</i>' Norman Fox. Most of the press went down the predictable 'birch these <i>sick</i> hooligan scum' route although one or two <i>did</i> point out that, almost exactly ten years earlier, similar scenes had followed another famous Scottish triumph at Wembley and no one then had batted an eyelid.

The <i>Sunday Mirra</i> carried the infamous <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1977-06-05"><i>Punish The Punks</i></a> headline. One of the most disgraceful excuses for journalism ever printed the piece, essentially, encouraged readers to make their disgust at the phenomena known to any punks they should come across. Predictably, within days several violent incidents had taken place, including attacks on high-profile figures like Jamie Reid, Joe Strummer and Johnny Rotten. To the ultimate shame of the Crown Prosecution Service, no <i>Mirra</i> journalist was ever charged to incitement to cause violence. Nor, for that matter, was the Labour MP Marcus Lipton, who was quoted in the <i>Mirra</i> with the opinion that 'if pop music is going to be used to destroy our established institutions, it ought to be destroyed first.'

Eric Clapton featured on <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1977-06-07"><b>The Old Grey Whistle Test</b></a>. The convicted kidnapped Ted Bundy was transported from the Garfield County jail in Glenwood Springs to Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen for a preliminary hearing in the case of the 1975 murder of Caryn Campbell. He had elected to serve as his own attorney and, as such, was excused by the judge from wearing handcuffs or leg shackles. During a recess, he asked to visit the courthouse's law library to research his case. While shielded from his guards' view behind a bookcase, he opened a window and jumped to the ground from the second story, injuring his ankle as he landed. After shedding an outer layer of clothing, he walked through Aspen as roadblocks were being set up on its outskirts, then hiked southward onto Aspen Mountain.

David Taylor's extraordinary <b>Panorama</b> film <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1977-11-14"><i>F-Troop, Treatment & The Halfway Line</i></a> broadcast. Travelling football supporters in the 1970s knew in advance that they could encounter trouble at many away grounds. At some venues, though, it was more likely than others: Elland Road, Upton Park and Stamford Bridge, in particular, had <i>fearsome</i> reputations. 'The spiritual home of hooliganism,' however, remained The Den, home of Second Division Millwall. The spectre of thuggery hung over the game. Such high-profile incidents as the fight between Derby County and Chelsea fans on the pitch at the Baseball Ground, luridly captured by <b>Match Of The Day</b> cameras in August 1973 had Jimmy Hill frothing about bringing back National Service and various MPs venting their spleen. Even mild-mannered Ipswich Town manager Bobby Robson was quoted as suggesting 'I'd take a flame-thrower to the lot of them!' <b>Panorama</b> spent a couple of weeks filming with a bunch of Millwall yobs (the bulk of the footage was shot around two matches, a draw with Sheffield United at The Den on 22 October and an away trip to Bristol Rovers on 5 November which ended in a two-nil defeat for The Lions). Perhaps viewers were expecting cartoon bovver boys like those Bill Oddie and Eric Idle had recently sent-up in episodes of <b>The Goodies</b> and <b>Rutland Weekend Television</b>. What they got, instead, was a dose of <i>Clockwork Orange</i>-style <i>ultraviolence</i>. 'Within Millwall's terrace army there are divisions,' noted Taylor. 'At the bottom of the hierarchy are the youngsters; they call themselves The Half-Way Line. When it comes to aggro, they imitate their elders. As they grow older, some graduate to Treatment; they're the ones in the surgical masks ... In the trench warfare of the terraces, it's F-Troop who are the <i>real</i> nutters. Self-confessed loonies like Harry The Dog, who go looking for fights. They are seldom disappointed.' Overnight men like Harry - in a jumper his auntie had knitted for him - Ginger Bob ('Tottenham will get battered when they come down here cos they've got <i>too much mouth</i>'), Peter the Wolf and Mad Pat ('I'm not goin' away for some Northern ponce to spit on me. <i>I'll put a pint glass in his head</i>') became household names. The documentary was supposed to end with a studio discussion with representatives from the club which would have added a necessary balance to the shock-tactics of the preceding forty minutes. But, this was cancelled at the last moment when the BBC's news coverage of the firemen's strike was extended. Dennis Howell, the Minister for Sport and a man never short of an opinion called the programme 'the most irresponsible seen for a very long time' whilst Millwall themselves said it was 'grossly exaggerated and insulting.' The BBC replied that the documentary 'added significantly to the average viewer's knowledge of a serious social problem. We do not believe it is possible to report on that problem without looking at its roots.' Certainly the BBC's argument about adding to the viewer's knowledge, as Norman Fox recognised in <i>The Times</i>, was supported in at least one important regard. Few people, even those who stood on the terraces near the hooligans, were aware of the sinister interest the National Front had in the yobs as potential recruits. Replying to FA comments suggesting the programme would 'encourage violence' the BBC said: 'The FA are entitled to their opinion, but the BBC doubts any encouragement was given and continues to believe it is right to draw attention to the problem of football violence and try to create a greater understanding of its underlying causes.' A week later, Sir Michael Swann the BBC chairman, wrote to Howell saying he believed the programme was perceptive and valuable: 'Of course the topic was guaranteed to annoy various interested parties of whom, dare I say it, you are one.' The documentary became such a <i>cause célèbre</i> that even <i>NME</i> referenced it in Monty Smith's review of Racing Cars' debut LP: 'Television [is] currently obsessed with unpalatably dodgy plays and bleeding-heart profiles of adolescent dementoids like Harry The Dog of Millwall.' To lay one urban myth to rest, music journalist, broadcaster and Millwall fan Danny Baker was <i>never</i> a member of F-Troop. For a start, he could string a sentence together and was, therefore, <i>vastly</i> overqualified. <i><a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1977-11-14">The Turning Point </a></i>premiered.

After stealing a car, Bundy drove East but the car soon broke down in the mountains on Interstate Seventy. A passing motorist gave him a lift to the town of Vail. From there, Bundy caught a bus to <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1977-12-30">Denver</a>, where he boarded a flight. The jail's staff did not discover his escape until noon on the following day, by which time Bundy was already in Chicago.

The first episode of Barry Cunliffe's <b><a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1976-05-12">A Throne Of Kings</a> </b>broadcast.

Two months after his resignation as Prime Minister, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1976-05-12">Harold Wilson</a> summoned BBC journalists Roger Courtiour and Barrie Penrose to his office and, effectively, offered to become their 'Deep Throat' in the matters of South African involvement in British affairs, alleged <i>coup d'état</i> plots against the elected government in 1968 and 1974 and attempts by MI5 to destabilise Wilson's government following the 1974 General Erection. Wilson claimed that plans had existed to install Lord Mountbatten as interim Prime Minister following such a <i>coup</i>. He also claimed that ex-military leaders had built up private armies in anticipation of 'wholesale domestic liquidation' and that 'elements' within MI5 had spread 'black propaganda' to right-wing journalists suggesting that Wilson and his private secretary Marcia Williams were lovers <i>and</i> Soviet agents, apparently with the intention of helping the Conservatives win the 1974 Erection. The extent of any <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1976-05-12">South African</a> interference was never established and the journalists couldn't make much headway with the security services, but Penrose and Courtiour, acting upon one of Wilson tips, did uncover a completely different scandal, the alleged homosexual affair between <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1976-05-12">Norman Scott</a> and the now-former leader of the Liberals, Jeremy Thorpe, a case which had been, thus far, assiduously covered up by Thorpe's friends in government.

Wales, having qualified for a major football tournament finals for the first time since 1958, drew one-all with Yugoslavia in the second leg of the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1976-05-22">European Championship</a> Quarter-Final at <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1976-05-22">Ninian Park</a>, having lost the first leg two-nil in Zagreb.

England had announced their side would include the recalled forty five year old Brian Close. During the interview Greig said, regarding the opposition, 'if they get on top they are <i>magnificent</i> cricketers. But if they're down, they grovel. And I intend, with Closey and a few others, to <i>make them grovel</i>.' It was a hugely unfortunate choice of words - as Greigy himself, quickly, came to realise. A South African-born Caucasian, using an emotive term like 'grovel' in relation to a team of black men didn't sit well with pretty much anyone. As Trevor McDonald said in his biography of Vivian Richards, although it almost certainly didn't occur to Greig at the time, 'to publicly threaten [to humiliate] the West Indies was probably the closest any cricketer ever came to making a formal declaration of war.' 'We thought, "this guy needs to be put in his place"' Michael Holding told the author David Tossell many years later. It should be remembered that 1976 - the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1976-06-01">longest, hottest summer</a> in Britain for decades - was one that climaxed with the Notting Hill riots and a general increase in racial tension. Not insignificantly one of ITV's most popular sitcoms of the era was Vince Powell and Harry Driver's <b>Love Thy Neighbour</b> which concerned a bigot, Eddie Booth (played by Jack Smethurst), living next door to Jamaican Bill Reynolds (Rudolph Walker). With a script littered with the casual usage of words like 'nig-nog' and 'sambo' the programme, nevertheless, had a <i>huge</i> audience. On the other hand, some commentators have noted that Greig - albeit in a <i>very</i> ham-fisted and awkward fashion - <i>did</i> have a point concerning the West Indies then-current form. The previous winter the Caribbean stars had been thrashed five-one in Australia and, just two months previously, with a three-spinner attack they had lost a test at home to India after setting their opponents a world record target of four hundred and six in the fourth innings. From then on Clive Lloyd had decided that if spinners could lose him games he would rely on pace, pace and more pace. 'Grovel! Greig! Grovel' became a regular chant for jubilant West Indies supporters at test grounds all summer in what turned out to be a memorable series - and one in which it was England that would be doing <i>all</i> the grovelling.

The first of series of rapes took place in Rancho Cordova, Sacramento - approximtely fifty were committed between 1976 and July 1979. They were the work of a perpetrator dubbed <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1976-06-18">'The East Area Rapist'</a> by the media. In 2018, Joseph DeAngelo - The Golden State Killer - confessed to being responsible for these crimes as well as many others.

The <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1976-06-22">second test</a> at Lord's was drawn. England scored two hundred and fifty, with Andy Roberts taking five for sixty. Gordon Greenidge scored eighty four and Clive Lloyd fifty, but <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1976-06-22">Derek Underwood</a> took five for thirty nine and John Snow four for sixty eight, to bowl West Indies out for one hundred and eighty two.

Needing three hundred and twenty three to win, West Indies reached two hundred and forty one for six, with one hundred and thirty eight for Roy Fredericks. Having missed the first test with glandular fever, this was England fans' first sight of Michael Holding.

The crash occurred when Keegan was racing against the Belgian footballer Gilbert Van Binst. Keegan was leading the overall competition but admitted prior to the race that 'I'm more used to a car than a bike.' At the first corner Van Binst moved ahead and Keegan, already wobbling heavily clipped the Belgian's back wheel. <i>Carnage</i> ensued. 'Keegan's gone! That is a <i>terrible</i> crash' shouted David Vine, as Kev hit the cinder track and then slid for an alarmingly long distance. Shaken, and with nasty abrasions to his arm and back which now looked as red as his Liverpool shirt, Kevin's cause was not helped by the close attentions of co-commentator Ron Pickering who noted 'Hell of a bump, wasn’t it?' No shit, Ron! When the episode was finally broadcast by the BBC, on <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1976-12-01">1 December</a>, the audience must have been near enough every single person in Great Britain judging by the frequency with which the incident has been referenced over the years.

Speaking at an <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1976-06-24">EEC conference</a> in Luxembourg, the Chancellor Dennis Healey brushed aside warnings from the US treasury about the 'need for changes' in the British economy. French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing returned from a 'frank but cordial' summit with Prime Minister Callaghan. An injunction banning <i>The Sunday Times</i> from printing an article on the background to the Thalidomide tragedy was lifted. Labour won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1976-06-24">Rotherham by-election</a> but with a much reduced majority. The Civil Service was considered to be 'almost entirely free' from high-level corruption, 'essentially because its bureaucratic machinery ensures few decisions rest with individuals.' Thirteen members of the Third World Action Group were fined three hundred Swiss francs by a Berne court for libel after they used the title '<i>Nestlé Kills Babies</i>' for one of their publications. Egypt and Syria restored diplomatic relations. GLC member Tony Banks told the Coordinating Committee that they should investigate ways of helping London football clubs in financial difficulties.

After the West Indies had batted again - a <i>dazzling</i> four hundred and eleven for five declared with Greenidge and Viv Richards both scoring centuries - there were eighty minutes left for play on <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1976-07-10">Saturday evening</a> as John Edrich and Brian Close, with a combined age pushing eighty five, walked out in the oppressive Manchester heat. What followed was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60GAhXvU90k">one of the most sustained pieces of hostility ever witnessed on a sport field</a>. Andy Roberts could generate <i>awesome</i> pace, but Mikey Holding was <i>even faster</i>. He had missed the first test through glandular fever and wasn't fully fit during the second. <i>This</i> was the first time on the tour that he had bowled at full speed. Close - as he had done thirteen years earlier at Lord's against another West Indies pace pair, Wes Hall and Charlie Griffiths - stood tall and took <i>everything</i> they bowled at him, as did Edrich. The two left-handers survived <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1976-07-10">a barrage of short-pitched bowling</a> and were both hit on several occasions. <i>Hard</i>. The sight of Close almost-but-not-quite sagging at the knees as he took a rising ball from Holding in the chest remains sickeningly vivid. ('Close is going to be a mass of bruises when he gets back to the pavilion' said Jim Laker with obvious sympathy concerning his former England colleague.) Anger was directed by many in the crowd (and, subsequently in the press) at the umpires, Lloyd Budd and Bill Alley, who seemed reluctant to intervene against what was, clearly, intimidatory and dangerous bowling. A moment of humour interrupted the carnage as a besuited fan ran onto the field with an oversided bat and handed it to Edrich who, for a moment, seemed keen to used it. The torture ended when spinner Albert Padmore bowled the final over of the day. The disappearance of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1976-07-10">Dora Bloch</a> the seventy four year old British woman who vanished in Uganda following the Entebbe hijacking caused outrage after President Amin denied all knowledge of her fate. Four mercenaries - three Britons, including Costos 'Callan' Georgiou and the alleged CIA-spy, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1976-07-10">Daniel Gearheart</a> - were executed in Angola after President Neto rejected international pleas for clemency. A general strike brought Australia to a standstill. The master of a Soviet tanker went missing on Tyneside as the ship was about to launch from Swan Hunters. Jimmy Carter met Walter Mondale and John Glenn as he searched for a running-mate for November's presidential elections. Home Secretary Roy Jenkins had George Davis, jailed for armed robbery, released by 'Exercise of the Royal Prerogative' because of doubts over evidence presented by police at his original trial. The severe drought was said to be depleting fish stocks and forest fires started in Surrey and Hampshire. Conservative MP Ian Sproat described 'horrifying levels of scrounging and fiddling on Social Security' whilst the Association of Careers Officers was told some jobless teenagers were being thrown out of their homes by parents who saw them as 'layabouts.' Johnny Miller narrowly beat nineteen year old Severiano Ballesteros in <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1976-07-10">The Open</a> at Royal Birkdale.

Despite a double century by Dennis Amiss, the West Indies won <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1976-08-17">the fifth test</a> at <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1976-08-17">The Oval</a> by two hundred and thirty one runs. This was thanks to two astonishing spells of pace bowling on a flat, unhelpful pitch by Michael Holding who ended the match with figures of eight for ninety two and six for fifty seven. As Prince Far-I would note soon afterwards in his '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXVIS4gOH2s">Tribute To Michael Holding</a>', 'Him fulla bowling! Heavy, <i>heavy</i> bowling!' Mikey even managed to upstage Viv Richards whose innings of two hundred and ninety one was a thing of rare and spectacular beauty. Geoff Miller made his test debut. This was also the match in which it was alleged that Brian Johnston, commentating on <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/radio3/1976-08-17"><i>Test Match Special</i></a>, told listeners that 'the bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey.' Johnston mentioned the story in his 1979 collection of anecdotes, <i>Rain Stops Play</i> and numerous listeners claim to this day to have heard him say it. But, subsequent searches of the BBC's sound-archives have failed to find the piece of commentary in question, suggesting that it was either said during an unrecorded piece for the World Service, or (sadly) that the story was apocryphal.

Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson put on a last wicket stand of forty two to <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1975-06-21">keep the game alive</a>. With three overs remaining, the game reached <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1975-06-21">a surreal climax</a> when Lillee hit a no-ball to Roy Fredericks at extra cover and the crowd rushed onto the field oblivious to the umpire's call. Amid the chaos, Fredericks attempted a run-out but missed and the ball disappeared into the crowd. Lillee and Thomson kept running between the wickets until the crowd were dispersed. Next ball, Deryck Murray ran out Thomson.

The hot summer continued with temperatures in the nineties.

John Edrich (one hundred and seventy five) anchored England's second innings, sharing partnerships of one hundred and eleven for the first wicket with Barry Wood, one hundred and four for the second with David Steele and sixty six for the fourth with Graham Gooch. Sedate at first, Edrich hit out as a declaration neared, adding sixty five for the fifth with Greig (forty one), before a hard-hitting cameo from Bob Woolmer (thirty one, including two sixes) heralded Greig's declaration.

<a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1975-08-16">Ted Bundy</a> was arrested by Utah Highway Patrol officer Bob Hayward in Granger. Hayward had observed Bundy cruising a residential area in the pre-dawn hours; Bundy fled the area at high speed after seeing the patrol car. Once <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1975-08-16">apprehended</a>, the officer searched his car after he noticed that the Volkswagen's front passenger seat had been removed. He found a ski-mask, a second mask fashioned from pantyhose, a crowbar, handcuffs, trash bags, a coil of rope, an ice pick and other items initially assumed to be burglary tools. Bundy explained that the ski-mask was for skiing, he had found the handcuffs in a dumpster and the rest were 'common household items.' However, Detective Jerry Thompson remembered a similar suspect and car description from the November 1974 Carol DaRonch kidnapping, which matched Bundy's name from Liz Kloepfer's December 1974 phone call to Salt Lake City police suggesting her boyfriend, Bundy, as a potential suspect. In a search of Bundy's apartment, police found a guide to Colorado ski resorts with a checkmark by the Wildwood Inn and a brochure that advertised the Viewmont High School play in Bountiful, where Debra Kent had disappeared. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_two_england/1975-08-16">The police</a> did not have sufficient evidence to detain Bundy at that stage and he was released on his own recognisance.

After the overthrow of the Mengistu regime sixteen years later, Selassie's body was unearthed from a grave beneath Mengistu's office at the former Imperial Palace and it was revealed that the Emperor had been smothered with a pillow while sleeping, after he refused to provide information about his overseas bank accounts.

The first group of four murders attributed to the notorious Ulster loyalist criminal gang <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1975-10-02">The Shankhill Butchers</a> took place at Casey's Bottling Plant in Millfield. Detectives in Salt Lake City put <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1975-10-02">Ted Bundy</a> into a line-up. Carol DaRonch immediately identified him as 'Officer Roseland' who had tried to abduct her in November 1974 and witnesses from Bountiful recognised him as the stranger at the high school auditorium when Debra Kent disappeared. There was insufficient evidence to link him directly to Kent. There was, however, more than enough evidence to charge Bundy with aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault in the DaRonch case. He was freed on fifteen thousand dollars bail, paid by his parents and spent most of the time between indictment and trial in <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1975-10-02">Seattle</a>, living in Liz Kloepfer's house. Seattle police had insufficient evidence to charge him with the Pacific Northwest murders, but kept him under close surveillance. 'When Ted and I stepped out on the porch to go somewhere,' Kloepfer later wrote, 'so many unmarked police cars started up that it sounded like the beginning of the Indy Five Hundred.' In September, Bundy had sold his Volkswagen Beetle in Midvale. Utah police impounded it and FBI technicians dismantled and searched it. They found hairs matching samples obtained from Caryn Campbell's body. Later, they also identified hair strands 'microscopically indistinguishable' from those of Melissa Smith and Carol DaRonch. FBI lab specialist Robert Neill concluded that the presence of hair strands in one car matching three different victims who had never met one another would be 'a coincidence of mind-boggling rarity.' <br />

After bludgeoning Sparks senseless with a metal rod from her bedframe, Bundy sexually assaulted her with either the same rod or a metal speculum, causing extensive internal injuries. She remained unconscious for ten days, but survived with permanent physical and mental disabilities. This was the first confirmed attack by Bundy although there remained no consensus as to when or where he began his assaults on women. He told different stories to different people and refused to divulge the specifics of his earliest crimes, even as he confessed - in graphic detail - to dozens of later murders in the days preceding his 1989 execution for his extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile crimes.

It, allegedly, took place without the Prime Minister's foreknowledge. The operation was repeated on three further occasions in June, July and September. These military deployments were perceived by some as a practice-run for a potential military <i>coup</i> and, it has been claimed, were part of <i>Clockwork Orange</i>, a <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1974-01-05">secret security services project</a> which was alleged to have involved a right-wing smear campaign against British politicians from 1974 to 1975. The black propaganda led Harold Wilson to fear that elements of MI5 were preparing a <i>coup d'état</i>. Although there is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwork_Orange_(plot)">some circumstantial evidence</a> to support the claims, they have never been conclusively proven.

On the second day of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1974-02-03">the first test</a> at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad, the West Indies had cruised to a first innings lead, thanks mainly to one hundred and forty two from Alvin Kallicharran. With four wickets still in hand, the home team was in a dominant position when the last ball of the day was bowled by Derek Underwood to Bernard Julien, who blocked it past Tony Greig (fielding close on the off-side) and then headed off to the pavilion with Kallicharran. However, Greig - not realising it was the final ball of the day - fielded the ball, threw down the stumps and appealed for a run out against Kallicharran. Umpire Douglas Sang Hue gave the batsman out and a near-riot broke out in the crowd. Technically, the decision was correct as Sang Hue had not called time but Greig's actions were considered unsporting and, together with the crowd's reaction, the England captain Mike Denness <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_two_england/1974-02-03">withdrew the appeal</a>. Kallicharran was reinstated <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1974-02-03">the following day</a>, when he took his score to one hundred and fifty eight. Despite a heroic century by Dennis Amiss, West Indies <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1974-02-07">won the match</a> by seven wickets. <br />

The first episode of <b><a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1974-07-14">The Double Dealers</a></b> broadcast. Ted Bundy's sick and sordid <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1974-07-14">Pacific Northwest murder spree</a> culminated with the broad daylight abductions of two women from a crowded beach at Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah, near Seattle. Five witnesses described an attractive young man wearing a white tennis outfit with his left arm in a sling. Introducing himself as Ted, he asked for their help in unloading a sailboat from his Volkswagen Beetle. Four refused; one accompanied him as far as his car, saw that there was no boat and fled. Three additional witnesses saw him approach Janice Anne Ott, aged twenty three, a probation case worker at the King County Juvenile Court, with the same story and she left the beach in his company. About four hours later, Denise Marie Naslund, a nineteen-year-old studying to become a computer programmer, left a picnic to go to a nearby restroom and never returned. Bundy subsequently told both the author Stephen Michaud and the FBI's William Hagmaier that Ott was still alive when he returned with Naslund and that he forced one to watch as he murdered the other, though he later denied this in another interview on the eve of his 1989 execution. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1974-07-14">King County police</a>, finally armed with a detailed description of their suspect and his car, posted fliers throughout the Seattle area. A composite sketch was printed in regional newspapers and broadcast on local television. Bundy's girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer, a former colleague Ann Rule, a DES employee and one of Bundy's UW psychology professors all reportedly recognised the profile, the sketch and the car and reported Bundy to police as a possible suspect. Detectives - who were receiving up to two hundred tips per day - believed it unlikely that a clean-cut law student with no previous adult criminal record could possibly be the perpetrator of such appalling crimes. Bundy, therefore, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_one/1974-07-14">remained free to kill again</a>.

It became an instant bestseller, won the 1975 Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime book and was the basis for two television movies, released in 1976 and 2004. At the time of Bugliosi's death in 2015, it had sold over seven million copies, making it the best-selling true crime book in history (ahead of Truman Captoe's <i>In Cold Blood</i>). <br />

After All Blacks winger Bryan Williams kicked deep into Barbarian territory; Phil Bennett recovered possession near his goal-line and started upfield, outrageously sidestepping past three tackles. Bennett passed to JPR Williams, who managed to offload the ball just as Bryan Williams tackled him around the neck. Still deep in Barbarians territory, the ball then passed through four pairs of hands (John Pullin, John Dawes, Tom David and Derek Quinnell) before Gareth Edwards, slipping between two team-mates and taking the last pass, finished with a dramatic diving try in the left-hand corner, twenty two seconds after Bennett picked up the ball. Later, David Duckham, starting inside his own twenty five-yard line, evaded three All Black defenders with successive side-steps to release David, Fergus Slattery and Willie John McBride in succession, until New Zealand flanker Scown thwarted what seemed a certain try for Bevan. After a clearing kick by Sid Going, Duckham produced the second of his swashbuckling runs, beating five All Black defenders - including a dummy on Ian Hurst that even fooled the cameraman - setting up a superb move which ended with Slattery throwing a one-handed, over-the-head pass to Dawes who scored in the corner, only for Slattery's pass to be adjudged as having gone forward. However, from the ensuing scrum, pressure from Edwards forced Going to fumble the ball, which allowed Slattery to go over for The Barbarians'. Bevan and Williams added second-half tries (the latter after another outstanding move which involved all fifteen of The Barbarians side) and Bennett kicked two conversions and a penalty. Grant Batty replied with two tries for the All Blacks. Marc Bolan and Cilla Black duetted on '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfvctiQ6lAk">Life's A Gas</a>' during an episode of <b>Cilla</b> which also featured Kenny Lynch and Cliff Richard. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1973-01-27">Lucy Donna Porter</a> born in Croydon.

The <b>World In Action</b> special <i>The Friends & Influence Of John L Poulson</i> was scheduled across the ITV network but, shortly before transmission the regulator, the IBA, banned the film without having seen it and without giving any official reason for its removal other than 'broadcasting policy'.

Brian Clough, the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1973-10-15">Derby County</a> manager and his assistant Peter Taylor, were sacked after a dispute with the club's directors.

In response to the escalating Yom Kippur war, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1973-10-17">OPEC</a>, the Arab oil producing countries, cut production and quadrupled the world price of petroleum. This move effectively ended the relative affluence on which, as Ian MacDonald wrote in <i>Revolution In The Head</i>, 'the preceding ten years of happy-go-lucky excess in the West had chiefly depended.' The knock-on effects of the Oil Crisis included spiralling inflation, the virtual destruction of the British film industry and a widespread vinyl shortage. <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1973-10-17">Poland knocked England out of the World Cup</a> with a one all draw at Wembley. This failure to reach the final stages of a tournament that England had <i>won</i> just seven years previously may seem insignificant. But, just as that famous 'some people are on the pitch' victory in 1966 appeared to encapsulate the spirit of an age - when England (and, specifically, London) was, literally, on top of the world - so the gloom that settled over the country during the winter of 1973-74, with its three-day weeks, power cuts, industrial disputes and cod war with Iceland, was inextricably tied to the failing fortunes of Sir Alf Ramsey's ageing side. So, you see, it really <i>was</i> <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1973-10-17">all Norman Hunter's fault</a>. The most feared tackler in English football mistimed a challenge on Robert Gadocha by the touchline and the ball was centred to unmarked Jan Domarski, whose low shot went under the diving Peter Shilton. Allan Clarke equalised with a penalty eight minutes later but England were unable to force a winner past the eccentric but brilliant Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski (infamously dubbed 'a clown' by Brian Clough on <a href="https://tvrdb.com/members/listings/1973-10-17#thames">ITV's coverage</a>). England were denied victory when substitute Kevin Hector, making his England debut, headed wide in the final minute. Having already qualified Scotland cared not a stuff that they lost their final group game, one-nil to Czechoslovakia in Bratislava. Zdenek Nehoda scored with a penalty. Hibernioan's John Blackley made his international debut, as did Donald Ford of Heart of Midlothian as a substitute. <br />

Leeds United - still unbeaten in the league - defeated Liverpool one-nil at Elland Road with a goal from Mick Jones to move <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1973-10-20">eight points</a> ahead of the reigning champions. A large crowd demonstrated at <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1973-10-20">Derby</a> before the start of their game against Leicester, calling for the reinstatement of Brian Clough, who was in the stands but left shortly after kick-off. Derby won the game two-one. Malcolm Macdoland scroed twice as Newcastle United beat Chelsea two-nil. Stan Bowles also got a pair as Queen's Park Rangers won four-two at Wolverhampton. Manchester United beat bottom side Birmingham thanks to an Alex Stepney penalty. The goalkeeper was, currently, the club's joint-top scorer with two goals (both penalties) and, indeed, would remain so until 29 December when Lou Macari scored his third goal of the season. The <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1973-10-20">Dalai Lama</a> made his first visit to the UK. The so-called <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1973-10-20">Saturday Night Massacre</a> occurred as President Nixon ordered first the Attorney General Elliot Richardson and then his deputy, William Ruckelshaus to fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox.

Palestinian terrorists attacked the terminal building at <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1973-12-17">Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport</a> in Rome, killing two people. They then threw grenades through the open doors of the Pan American World Airways Boeing Clipper Celestial, with one hundred and seventy seven people on board, which was preparing to taxi for departure; thirty people on the plane died and twenty were injured. Five other gunmen stormed a Lufthansa Boeing 737, bringing aboard ten hostages and also taking hostage the crew. The government imposed early close-downs of all three television channels including ITV in order to save electricity during the Three Day Week crisis. The early close-downs forced ITV to end their broadcasting day at 10:30pm, thus losing the network a lot of advertising revenue. The restrictions were lifted temporarily on Christmas Eve to allow the public to 'enjoy' festive programming.

It was accompanied by a - tragically now long-forgotten - song which included the lyric 'if all the cars were oranges it wouldn't be a jam/it would be a marmalade!' After sixteen hours on the ground, during which time they murdered one hostage and injured another, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1973-12-18">Palestinian terrorists</a> who attacked Rome airport the previous day dumped the injured hostage and the body of the murdered hostage off the Lufthansa plane and ordered it to fly to Athens; the plane spent another sixteen hours on the ground in Athens before proceeding to a landing at Damascus.

The White House Plumbers, at this stage still assigned to the Committee to Re-Elect the President, had become frustrated at the lack of additional assignments they were being asked to perform and that any plans and proposals they suggested - notably <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1972-02-04"><i>Project Gemstone</i></a> - were being rejected by CRP. Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt took their complaints to The White House – most likely to Hunt's boss Charles Colson - and requested that the White House start putting pressure on CRP's deputy director Jeb Magruder to assign them new operations. It is likely that both Colson and White House Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman did so, starting the chain of events that would ultimately led to the Watergate break-ins a few months later. This narrative was confirmed in the famous 'Cancer on the Presidency' conversation between Nixon and White House Counsel John Dean on 21 March 1973. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1972-02-04">Kenneth Kaunda</a>, the President of Zambia, moved to turn the African democracy into a one-party state after the new United Progressive Party had won a by-erection in December.

Kaunda's United National Independence Party then became the only legal party.

Nevertheless, they were convicted of murder and arson at the Old Bailey in November. In 1975, the three successfully appealed. Lord Scarman heavily criticised the police for their handling of the case, claiming they should have put more emphasis on the fact that there had been no struggle, suggesting Confait knew his killer or killers. In February 1980, Detective Chief Superintendent George and Inspector Ellison presented a report to the Director of Public Prosecutions identifying the late Douglas Franklin as Confait's probable murderer (Franklin had committed suicide shortly after being interviewed by the officers). In August 1980, Sir Michael Havers prepared a statement to Parliament declaring Lattimore, Leighton and Salih innocent.

'Kids Lib' leader <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1972-05-08">Ginger Finch</a> was charged with using insulting behaviour and obstruction after a mass 'pupil power' demonstration in North London. Eight hundred pupils from five schools met to urge teenagers away from their classrooms. The demo was called by the Rebel Schools' Action Union, who were protesting against caning, detention, uniforms and 'headmaster dictatorship.' After the crowd were joined by pupils from Sarah Siddons Girls' School the demonstrators set out on an eight-mile march to enlist support from other schools. At Marylebone Grammar School twenty invaders broke into the school building where they kicked classroom doors and shouted 'Everybody Out.' Leeds United's defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers (in a game which was subsequently the subject of - ultimately unproven - allegations of attempted match-fixing) and Liverpool's goalless draw with Arsenal meant that Brian Clough's Derby County were <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1972-05-08">Football League champions</a> for the first time. Manchester City finished fourth with only a single point separating the top four sides. Both the <i>Daily Mirror</i> and the <i>Sunday People</i> claimed that Don Revie had attempted to bribe Wolves players to lose the match. The papers quoted Wolves midfielder Danny Hegan and Leeds goalkeeper Gary Sprake's claims that Billy Bremner had tried to arrange a bribe. Bremner sued for libel and won, after both Hegan and Sprake refused to repeat their allegations under oath in court. Derek Dougan, who had scored for Wolves, testified that he had heard no mention of the alleged bribes. Norwich City won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1972-05-08">Second Division</a> and were promoted along with Birmingham City. Millwall, Queens Park Rangers and Sunderland missed out. Charlton Athletic and Watford were relegated. Aston Villa ended their two-year spell in the Third Division by gaining promotion. Brighton & Hove Albion accompanied Villa into the Second Division. Grimsby won the Fourth Division title. Barrow were voted out of the Football League and replaced by FA Cup giant-killers Hereford United. Ted MacDougall was the league's leading scorer for the second season running, although his thirty five goals weren't quite enough to see Bournemouth promoted. Francis Lee scored thirty three goals for Manchester City. Lots of them penalties. Most of which he, himself, won. Some of them, legitimately. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_one/1972-05-08">President Nixon</a> announced that the United States would lay mines in North Vietnam's harbours in order to stop further supply of weapons and material.

If only Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt had got the Cubans to watch episode five of <i>The Time Monster</i> instead of breaking into the Democrats campaign office, how different US political history might have been. As the prowlers were preparing to break into the office, a security guard noticed someone had taped over several of the building's door locks. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1972-06-17">Caught in the act by The Fuzz</a>, those involved soon has their asses in The Slammer. And, then the shit <i>really</i> hit the fan. It was not immediately clear that the burglars were connected to the President or his staff, though suspicions were raised when detectives found copies of the re-election committee's White House phone number among the burglars' belongings. In 1992, the book of <i>Silent Coup</i> by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin, claimed the Watergate burglary had been instigated by <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1972-06-17">John Dean</a> who, they alleged, wanted to cover-up the involvement of his <i>fiancée</i>, Maureen Kane, with a call-girl ring. The book, endorsed by Gordon Liddy, prompted Dean to sue Liddy, Colodny and Gettlin for defamation. The case was settled out of court; DNC secretary Ida Maxine Wells, who was also implicated by Liddy in the alleged cover-up, also sued for defamation but jury in that case was deadlock. Fred Emery in his book <i>Watergate: The Corruption & Fall Of Richard Nixon</i> (1994) found no evidence to support <i>Silent Coup</i>'s allegations. <a href="https://tvrdb.com/members/listings/1972-06-17#londonweekend"><b>The Reg Varney Comedy Hour</b></a> broadcast on LWT.<br />

West Germany beat the Soviet Union three-nil in the final of the Nations Cup in Brussels (broadcast on <a href="https://tvrdb.com/listings/1972-06-18#londonweekend">LWT</a>). In the immediate aftermath of the previous night's <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1972-06-18">Watergate fiasco</a>, Gordon Liddy called Jeb Magruder in Los Angeles and informed him that the four men arrested with James McCord were 'Cuban freedom fighters,' whom Howard Hunt had recruited. Magruder immediately had a meeting with John Mitchell, Robert Mardian and Fred La Rue in the Beverley Hills Hotel. Initially, Nixon's organisation and the White House went to work to cover up the crime and any evidence which may have damaged the president and his re-election. Liddy tracked down Attorney General Richard Kleindienst at a golf club in Bethesda. Liddy told Kleindienst that the break-in had originated within the CRP and that Kleindienst should arrange the release of the burglars, to reduce the risk of exposure of CRP's involvement. Kleindienst refused ('what the Hell happens to the President if I do a fool thing like <i>that</i>?') but did not report the information Liddy had given him to the FBI. <br />

Meanwhile, during a meeting in the Oval Office between President Nixon and Bob Haldeman, Haldeman's notes showed that among the topics of discussion were the arrests at the Watergate.

The landmark case of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1972-06-29"><i>Furman Versus Georgia</i></a>, on the unconstitutionality of all existing American state laws permitting the execution of prisoners, was decided by the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Warren E Burger, along with Justices William Rehnquist, Harry Blackmun and Lewis F Powell, voted to sustain the death penalty and Justices William J Brennan, Thurgood Marshall, William Douglas and Potter Stewart voted to declare the laws unconstitutional. The tie was broken by the last of the justices, Byron White, who surprised observers by agreeing that the laws violated guarantees against 'cruel and unusual punishment.' All six hundred American prisoners on death row were thus spared by the ruling, including William Henry Furman, who would be paroled in 1984. No person had been executed in America since June 1967, when Luis Monge died in the gas chamber in Colorado. In Utah, Gary Gilmore became the first American prisoner to be executed in January 1977 after individual states passed new laws to comply with the Furman guidelines. <i>The Candidate</i> - starring Robert Redford - premiered.

A group of researchers from the Academy of Applied Science led by Robert H Rines conducted a search for the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_one_london/1972-08-07">Loch Ness Monster</a> involving sonar examination of the loch depths for unusual activity. Rines' Raytheon DE-725C sonar unit, operating at a frequency of two hundred kHz and anchored at a depth of eleven metres, identified a moving target (or targets) estimated by echo strength at six to nine metres in length. Concurrent with the sonar readings, a floodlit camera obtained a pair of underwater photographs. Both depicted what appeared to be a rhomboid flipper, although sceptics have dismissed the images as depicting air bubbles, a rock, or a fish fin. The apparent flipper was photographed in different positions, indicating movement. According to team member Charles Wyckoff, the photos were 'retouched' to superimpose the flipper; the original enhancement showed a considerably less-distinct object. No one is sure how or when the originals were altered but, during a meeting with Tony Harmsworth and Adrian Shine at the Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition, Rines <i>did</i> admit that the flipper photo 'may' have been retouched by a magazine editor.

In Los Angeles, Charles Manson, Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houton and Patricia Krenwinkel were found <i>extremely</i> guilty of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_one/1971-01-25">the Tate-LaBianca murders</a>. Not far into the trial's penalty phase, the jurors saw, at last, the defence that Manson - in the prosecution's view - had planned to present. Atkins, Krenwinkel, and Van Houten testified that the murders had been conceived as 'copycat' versions of Gary Hinman's murder, for which Atkins now took credit. The killings, they said, were intended to draw suspicion away from Bobby Beausoleil by resembling the crime for which he had been jailed. This plan had supposedly been the work of - and carried out under the guidance of - not Manson, but someone allegedly in love with Beausoleil - Linda Kasabian. Among the narrative's weak points was the inability of Atkins to explain why, as she was maintaining, she had written 'political piggy' at Hinman's house in the first place. Midway through the penalty phase, Manson shaved his head and trimmed his beard to a fork; he told the press, 'I am the Devil and the Devil <i>always</i> has a bald head.' In what the prosecution regarded as belated recognition on their part that imitation of Manson only proved his domination, the female defendants refrained from shaving their own heads until the jurors retired to weigh the state's request for the death penalty.

A day of malarkey and discombobulation at the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_two_england/1971-02-13">final Ashes test</a> in Sydney. Terry Jenner retired hurt when he ducked into a short delivery from John Snow and was hit on the head. Hard. The umpire, stroppy, officious Lou Rowan, warned Snow for <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1971-02-13">intimidatory bowling</a>. Snow and Ray Illingworth objected strongly, the captain saying 'That's the only bouncer he's bowled' and stating he would complain to the ABC. The bowler was loudly booed and when he returned to his fielding position at long-leg Snow was pelted with bottles, cans and partially eaten pies. Then he was grabbed by a drunk at Paddington Hill and had to pull himself free. To avoid injury to his team Illingworth took his men to the dressing room without the permission of the umpires, an unprecedented move in test cricket at the time. He later justified his action by saying 'I've seen people hit by bottles and it makes a bloody mess of them.' The England tour manager, David Clark, tried to push Illingworth back onto the field and Rowan reportedly told them that if they did not immediately return they would forfeit the match (and the Ashes). A furious Illingworth said he would not return until the playing area had been cleared and the crowd had calmed down. It took seven minutes for the groundstaff to move the debris, during which one was hit on the head with a beer-can and had to be taken to hospital. The Australian batsmen Greg Chappell and Dennis Lillee remained at the crease throughout the incident which wound the crowd up even more. Inspired by veteran Ray Crawford, Fourth Division Colchester United knocked Leeds out of the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1971-02-13">FA Cup</a> with a three-two victory in the Fifth Round.

US Army Lieutenant William Calley was found extremely guilty of twenty two murders in the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1971-03-29">My Lai massacre</a> and sentenced to life in prison. A Los Angeles jury recommended the death penalty for <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1971-03-29">Charles Manson</a>, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten. On the day the verdicts were returned, news came that the badly decomposed body of Van Houten's attorney Ronald Hughes was found wedged between two boulders in Ventura County. It was rumored, although never proven, that Hughes was murdered by the Family, possibly because he had stood up to Manson and refused to allow Van Houten to take the stand and absolve Manson of the crimes. Though he may have perished in flooding, Family member Sandra Good subsequently stated that Hughes was 'the first of the retaliation murders.'

Rita Patricia Curran, a twenty four-year-old elementary school teacher and part-time motel maid, was murdered in her basement apartment, in <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_two_england/1971-07-19">Burlington, Vermont</a>. The location of the motel where she worked was adjacent to the serial killer Ted Bundy's birthplace, the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers and similarities to known Bundy crime scenes later led retired FBI agent John Bassett to propose him as a suspect. No evidence placed Bundy in Burlington on that date, but municipal records noted a person named Bundy <i>was</i> bitten by a dog that week and long stretches of Bundy's activities - including the summer of 1971 - remain unaccounted for. Curran's murder officially remains unsolved. According to detective Robert Keppel, Bundy told him that he <i>had</i> murdered a woman in July 1971 in Burlington, who worked next door to the building where Bundy was born.

Multiple suspects - including Ted Bundy - have 'never been cleared,' according to investigators and Whitman County authorities have said that Bundy 'remains a suspect.' Given that Bundy was also a suspect in a murder case committed three days earlier in Vermont, two thousand miles away, it is probable that if Bundy was involved in one of these two cases, he was <i>not</i> involved in the other. <br />

The Attica State Riots took place at the New York prison. Based upon prisoners' demands for better living conditions and political rights, the riot was one of the most well-known and significant uprisings of the Prisoners' Rights Movement. Two weeks after the killing of George Jackson at San Quentin Prison, about one thousand of the Attica's approximately two thousand two hundred inmates rioted and took control of the prison, taking forty two staff hostage. During the following four days of negotiations, authorities agreed to twenty eight of the prisoners' demands. By the order of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1971-09-09">Governor Nelson Rockefeller</a>, state police took back control of the prison. When the uprising was over, at least forty three people were dead, including ten correctional officers and civilian employees and thirty three inmates.

A gang of naughty tea-leaves tunnelled into a branch of Lloyds Bank at the junction of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1971-09-11">Baker Street and Marylebone Roa</a>d and robbed the safe deposit boxes in the vault. The robbers had rented a leather goods shop and tunnelled a distance of approximately forty feet, passing under the Chicken Inn fast food restaurant located between the shop and the bank. This would subsequently become the basis for the 2008 movie <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bank_Job">The Bank Job</a></i>. The film's producers claimed they had 'an inside source,' identified in press reports as George McIndoe. The movie's plot concerning the issuance of a D-Notice, because one safe deposit box held sex pictures of Princess Margaret with London gangster-turned-actor John Bindon, is almost certainly fictional. A possible connection to black activist (and, later, convicted murderer) Michael X was, apparently, based on information provided by McIndoe, though the veracity of this remained unclear.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_one/1971-12-20">met in New York</a> in an attempt to patch-up their fractured relationship. Throughout 1971, the duo had vented their fury at each other through their music ('Too Many People' and 'How Do You Sleep?' most obviously). In November, Paul had been interviewed by <i>Melody Maker</i> and said 'I just want the four of us to get together somewhere and sign a piece of paper saying it's all over. But John won't do it.' Lennon replied, venomously, two weeks later with a letter published in the same magazine. The attempted <i>detante</i> appeared to have been <i>mostly</i> successful and, for the rest of Lennon's life, he and McCartney remained on reasonable - if occasionally frosty - terms. They met infrequently (and jammed together only once, in Los Angeles in 1974 during Lennon's infamous 'lost weekend' period), but they talked on the phone every few months and at least stopped calling each other names in public.

Froines and Weiner were acquitted on all charges, while the remaining five were convicted of crossing state lines in order to incite a riot. On 20 February, Judge Julius Hoffman (no relation) sentenced each to five years in The Slammer, as well as ordering them to pay the costs of their prosecution, while defence attorney William Kunstler was sentenced to four years and thirteen days imprisonment for contempt of court. After Kunstler stated that 'I think it is wrong legally and morally' to issue sentences so quickly after trial, Judge Hoffman replied: 'To say I am morally wrong can only add to your present troubles.' The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals soon ordered the men to be released from jail.

In <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1970-05-18">Minneapolis</a>, a senior deputy clerk of Hennepin County District Court, administered oaths to Michael McConnell and Jack Baker after taking down their information on an application for a marriage licence. Baker, a law student at the University of Minnesota, had determined that since state law did not prohibit a marriage between people of the same gender, he and his partner would have the same rights as a man and a woman. The deputy clerk, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1970-05-18">Robert Anderson</a>, had the gentlemen swear that the information on the application was true and advised that his office would consult Hennepin County attorney for advice whether the licence could be issued. Hennepin County Attorney George Scott recommended on 22 May that the licence be denied, referring to a law requiring a marriage licence to be issued in the county in which the <i>woman</i> resides and a 1949 case noting that it was the duty of the state to guard marriage 'in the conservation of public morals.' To permit two males to marry, Scott concluded, would 'result in an undermining and destruction of the entire legal concept of our family structure in all areas of law.' District court clerk Gerald Nelson stated that he would abide by Scott's recommendation and deny the license. In 1971, McConnell and Baker were granted a licence in Blue Earth County, Minnesota and a marriage ceremony was performed; though challenged, it was never invalidated.

The tubular bridge across the Menai Strait had been built by Robert Stephenson and had carried rail traffic since 1850. Although the island's fifty seven thousand residents could still drive across the strait on the Menai Suspension Bridge the use of the port of Holyhead to transport cargoes between the UK and Ireland was shut down by the loss of the railroad. A reconstructed bridge would finally open to rail traffic in January 1972, after British Rail spent over three million knicker on it. <br />

One of the most famous 'Colemanballs' in the history of football commentary came from the man who invented the genre, David Coleman. In <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1970-06-03">the opening game of World Cup Group C</a>, the much-fancied Brazilians were facing Czechosolvakia. Brazil dominated the opening moments at Guadalajara and Pele missed a sitter after being set-up by Rivelino. Then, after six minutes, the Czech's broke away and a couple of bits of sloppy defending by the Brazilians - specifically Brito and goalkeeper, Felix - allowed Ladislav Petráš to score. Coleman, who'd so far had his tongue rammed right up the collective Brazilian crack, was momentarily stunned. 'The Brazilian side ...' he screamed in a panic-stricken non-sequitar. 'All that you <i>ever</i> heard about them <i>has come true</i>.' This referred to the widely-held opinion in the European sports media that, yes, these Brazilian boys knew a few clever bend-the-ball tricks but, in all seriousness, they were a bunch fancy-dans who didn't like it up 'em. That they were, defensively, a bit <i>rubbish</i>, frankly and that when they came up against some decent (hard) European teams like West Germany, Italy, or England, they were going to get a right good caning. Pfft, <i>skill/schmill</i>, these blokes <i>can't even defend</i>. Brazil, of course, promptly went on to win the match in a dazzling four-one display, beat England in their next game, massacre the Romanians, Peru and Uruguay and then hammer the <i>Azzurri</i> in the Final. For David Coleman 'for those of you watching in black and white, Zaire are in the light shirts' was just <i>four years away</i>. Elsewhere, West Germany came from behind to beat the unfancied Morocco two-one. Crystal Palace signed Alan Birchenll for one hundred thousand pounds and Bobby Tambling for forty thousand from Chelsea.

The first criminal trial of followers of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1970-06-15">Charles Manson</a>, for the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others, opened against Manson and his co-defendants, Leslie Van Houton, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel. The trial would last for seven months. The prosecution's main witness was Linda Kasabian, who, along with Manson, Atkins and Krenwinkel, had been charged with seven counts of murder and one of conspiracy. Since Kasabian, by all accounts, had not participated in the actual killings, she was granted immunity in exchange for testimony that detailed the nights of the crimes. Originally, Judge William Keene had reluctantly granted Manson permission to act as his own attorney. Because of Manson's conduct, including violations of a gag order and submission of 'outlandish' and 'nonsensical' pretrial motions, the permission was withdrawn before the trial's start. Manson filed an affidavit of prejudice against Keene, who was replaced by Judge Charles Older. <br />

Italy beat West Germany four-three in an <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1970-06-17">unforgetable</a> World Cup Semi Final, after extra-time. In the other <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_one/1970-06-17">Semi Final</a>, the brilliant Brazilians beat Uruguay three-one. A scheduled South African cricket tour of England had been cancelled during the winter for political reasons. As this meant there would be no international cricket in England that summer, a Rest of the World team was hastily assembled to play a series of five-day matches against England. At the time, they were played <i>as</i> test matches, but that status was later revoked by the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1970-06-17">International Cricket Conference</a> and they are now termed 'unofficial' tests, though still first-class matches. The Rest of the World, captained by Gary Sobers and containing four South Africans - Barry Richards, Eddie Barlow, Graeme Pollock and Mike Proctor - plus players from Australia, India, Pakistan and the West Indies - <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1970-06-23">won the opening game</a> at Lord's by and innings and eighty runs and, subsequently, the series, four-one. The match started, unusually, on a <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1970-06-17">Wednesday</a> so that the Thursday could be a 'rest day' for the General Erection. The outstanding performer was Sobers who destroyed England's batting on the first morning, taking six for twenty one and then, later, scored one hundred and eighty three. Umpire Syd Buller, who died suddenly in August, officiated in his last international match. Alan Jones, Brian Luckhurst and Ken Shuttleworth made their first (and, in Jones's case, only) appearance for an England representative team.

Arsenal slipped to fourth in the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1970-09-26">First Division</a> after they were thrashed five-nil by Stoke City. Chelsea's two-one victory against Ipswich Town included a bizarre <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFeKOTEFsYQ">'ghost' goal</a> 'scored' by Alan Hudson. Roy Capey, a one-man refereeing disaster zone, was in charge of the game at Stamford Bridge and had an absolute <i>mare</i>. 'Downright poor' was the <i>Daily Mirra</i>'s description of his performance with questionable decisions seeming to go against both sides. Midway through the second-half and with the home side leading one-nil, Peter Houseman dribbled infield and set up Hudson for a shot that crashed into the side netting. The Chelsea players turned to recover their positions for the goal kick then realise that the referee has awarded a goal and made a half-hearted pretence of celebrating. Bobby Robson led a furious protest but, despite consulting with his - seemingly equally visually-impaired - linesman, Capey remained adamant that a goal had been scored. Ipswich subsequently pulled back a goal which also should not have stood. Awarded an indirect free kick, Jimmy Robertson aimed a cross into the penalty area and watched as it eluded everyone and sailed into the net. Then, during injury time Ian Hutchinson broke through unchallenged on the Ipswich goal. In the split second between the striker successfully rounding David Best and stroking the ball into the empty net, Capey decided <i>that</i> was the precise moment the game must end and blew his whistle for full-time. The Stamford Bridge announcer captured the general sense of bewilderment when he told the crowd: '<i>As far as we know</i> Chelsea won two-one.' Bradford City's one-nil defeat at Chesterfield in the Third Division saw the league debut of <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/radio2/1970-09-26">Ces Podd</a>, a student at Bradford's College of Art born in Saint Kitts & Nevis.

Sergeant Paul Meyer, a decorated Viet'nam veteran, requested that the Air Force set up a telephone link to his wife in Virginia. After a two-hour flight, Meyer told his wife that he was having trouble with the automatic pilot and the aircraft was, thereafter, presumed lost at sea. The wreckage would be discovered days later in the English Channel and in June, investigators advanced the theory than Meyer's aberrant behaviour may have been the result of a chemical interaction between antidepressant drugs which had been prescribed, in combination with whiskey and amines within cheddar cheese, which he had been seen to consume at a party a few hours before stealing the plane. <br />

Calls which were, thankfully, ignored by the BBC. Nevertheless, when John appeared as a defence witness during the <i>Oz</i> obscenity trial in 1971, this broadcast was used by the prosecution to attack his 'morals.'

While Bundy's accounts of his earliest crimes varied considerably between interviews, he later told the forensic psychologist Art Norman that his first murder victims were 'two women in the Philadelphia area.' Biographer Richard Larsen believed that Bundy committed the murders using his subsequently infamous feigned-injury ruse, based on an investigator's interview with Bundy's aunt, Julia. Bundy, she claimed, was wearing a leg cast due to an automobile accident on the weekend of the double homicides and therefore could not have travelled from Philadelphia to the Jersey Shore; there is, however, no official record of any such accident having taken place. <br />

What would become known as <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1969-07-25">The Nixon Doctrine</a> was outlined for the first time in an informal press conference with reporters who had accompanied the US president to Guam during his Asian tour. In remarks later published, but given at the time 'for attribution but not direct quotation,' Nixon said: 'I believe that the time has come when the United States, in our relations with all of our Asian friends, be quite emphatic on two points: One, that we will keep our treaty commitments ... but, two, that as far as the problems of internal security are concerned, as far as the problems of military defence that the United States is going to encourage and has a right to expect that the responsibility for it taken by, the Asian nations themselves.'

NASA administrator <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1969-08-01">Thomas Paine</a> told a crowd - quite wrongly, as it turned out - that manned missions to both Mars and Venus 'would be feasible in the 1980s.' Paine told a San Francisco audience that 12 November 1981 'would be a particularly good date' for the launch of two rockets (and a total of twelve astronauts) powered by the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application then under development. With Mars, Earth and Venus in ideal positions relative to each other, Paine said, the astronauts could enter orbit around Mars by 9 August 1982, then send 'reusable stages much like jet planes' to ferry astronauts back and forth to the surface, before departing on 28 October 1982, toward Venus and then using the Venusian orbital motion for a gravity assist or slingshot on 14 August 1983 to return to Earth. The possibility, however, would depend on whether the American public was 'willing to commit to a cost of twenty four billion dollars.' Needless to say, they weren't. <br />

The new football season saw <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1969-08-09"><b>Match Of The Day</b></a> experiment with a new format; one main match (Crystal Palace's two-two draw with Manchester United - Mel Blyth scoring Palace's first ever goal in the First Division) and several second games which were broadcast regionally. On this day, Leeds Unitd's three-on win against Tottenham Hotspur was broadcast in the North and South East, Wolverhampton Wanderers' three-one victory over Stoke City was shown in the Midlands, West Bromwich Albion's two-nil win at Southampton appeared in the South and West whilst Wales got coverage of the Fourth Division match between Wrexham and Exeter (Wrexham won three-nil). Elsewhere in the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1969-08-09">First Division</a> Manchester City and Liverpool both enjoyed four-one victories (over Sheffield Wednesday and Chelsea respectively). Arsenal's one-nil defeat to Everton saw the debut of eighteen year old Charlie George, the first of three hundred and sixty seven games, for Arsenal, Derby County, Southampton, AFC Bournemouth and England, in a career that lasted until 1983. Promoted Derby County shared a goalless draw with Burnley. John Byrom scored three in Bolton Wanderers four-one defeat of Millwall in the Second Division. Both of the relegated sides, Leicester City and Queens Park rangers, enjoyed a return to life in the second tier (winning three-one against Birmingham City and three-nil over Hull City respectively). Sheffield United beat Middlesbrough three-nil. Rotherham United defeated bury four-three in the third Division. Four members of Charles Manson's Family cult - Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel - murdered the actress Sharon Tate (who was eight months pregnant), hair-stylist Jay Sebring, heiress Abigail Folger and her boyfriend Voyteck Frykowski - at 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon. A fifth victim, Steven Parent, had the misfortune to be driving away from Cielo Drive as the group arrived to commit their murderous attack. According to legend, both the record producer Qunicy Jones and Steve McQueen (both friends of Tate) had been invited to the house that evening but, for different reasons, had not been able to come. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1969-08-09">The Manson Family</a> had developed into a sick doomsday cult. The theory put forward by Vincent Bugliosi, the lead prosecutor in the subsequent trial, was that Manson had predicted a forthcoming apocalyptic race war, allegedly adopting the term 'Helter Skelter', taken from the song on The Beatles' <i>White Album</i>, to refer to this. Specific injuries and messages written in blood at the scene of the murder appeared to refer to the lyrics of another <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_one/1969-08-09"><i>White Album</i></a> song, George Harrison's 'Piggies'. Alternative theories behind the killings' rationale include a drug deal gone bad and an attempt by Manson and his followers to create copycat killings similar to the torture and murder of Gary Hinman by their friend Bobby Beausoleil a month earlier. Beausolei had been arrested for Hinman's murder on 6 August. <br />

Pacific Union College students Bryan Hartnell and Cecelia Shepard were picnicking at Lake Berryessa on a small island connected by a sand spit to Twin Oak Ridge. A man, subsequently confirmed to be <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1969-09-27">The Zodiac Killer</a>, approached them wearing a black executioner's-type hood and a bib-like device on his chest that had a white cross-circle symbol on it. He had brought precut lengths of plastic clothesline and told Shepard to tie up Hartnell, before he tied her up. The man then drew a knife and stabbed them both repeatedly. The killer called the Napa County Sheriff's office from a pay-phone to report his crime. After hearing their screams for help, a man and his son who were fishing in a nearby cove discovered the victims and summoned help by contacting park rangers. Shepard was conscious when police arrived, providing them with a detailed description of the attacker before lapsing into a coma during transport to the hospital and never regained consciousness.

AC Milan won the Intercontinental Cup against Estudiantes four-two on agrregate. In the second leg in Buenos Aries, two Italian players were assaulted and events took a surreal turn when stretcher-bound Milan striker Néstor Combin was arrested by Argentine police for alleged draft dodging (Combin was born in Argentina but represented France at international level). The match had immediate political ramifications, partly due to Argentina's (ultimately successful) bid to host the World Cup in 1978. Several of the Estudiantes players were arrested and goalkeeper Alberto Poletti, who had punched Gianni Rivera, kicked Combin and clashed with supporters after the match, was handed a life ban. Ramon Suárez, who had broken Combin's nose, was banned from internationals for five years. The match was also partly to blame for a subsequent boycott of the Intercontinental Cup by several European teams over the following decade. Scotland lost what would turn out to be a vital World Cup Qualifier three-two against West Germany in Hamburg. Jimmy Johnstone and Alan Gilzean scored for the Scots, Kluas Fichtel, Gerd Müller and Reinhard Libuda for the home side.

'La, La, La', performed by Massiel, won <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1968-04-06"><b>The Eurovision Song Contest</b></a> for Spain, at the Royal Albert Hall. In May 2008, a documentary by Spanish film-maker Montse Fernández Villa, <i>1968 - Yo Viví El Mayo Español</i>, alleged that the contest was 'rigged' by the Spanish <i>caudillo</i> Francisco Franco, who allegedly 'sent overtures' to television officials across Europe offering cash and promising to buy series in return for votes for the Spanish entry. The allegation was based on a testimony by the journalist José María Íñigo, a TVE employee at the time, who claimed the rigging was 'common knowledge' and suggested that Spanish record label representatives offered to release LPs by Bulgarian and Czech artists (though, neither Bulgaria nor Czechoslovakia were members of the European Broadcasting Union). The documentary claimed that the contest should have been won by the UK's entry - 'Congratulations' by Cliff Richard - which finished second by but one vote. Massiel was reportedly 'outraged' by the allegations and claimed that if there had been fixes, 'other singers, who were more keen on Francoist Spain, would have benefited.' It was the first time the contest had been televised in colour. Manchester United were beaten two-one at home by Liverpool, their second consecutive home defeat.

Spurs thrashed Southampton six-one, Wolverhampton hammered Nottingham Forest by the same score (Derek Dougan netting three) and West Ham United defeated Newcastle United five-nil (Trevor Brooking scoring a hat-trick). Sunderland's three-one win over Stoke City meant The Potters suddenly found themselves dragged into the relegation fight having, seemingly, been safe a few weeks earlier.

King, according to Cudlipp, 'expounded his views on the gravity of the national situation, the urgency for action and then embarked upon a shopping list of the Prime Minister's shortcomings.' He explained that in the crisis he foresaw as being 'just around the corner', the Government would disintegrate, there would be bloodshed in the streets and the armed forces would be involved in, effectively, a <i>coup d'etat</i>. He then asked Mountbatten would <i>he</i> agree to be the head of a new administration in such circumstances? Mountbatten is alleged to have asked for the opinion of Zuckerman, who stated that the comments amounted to treason and left the room. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1968-05-08">The Kray Twins</a>, were among eighteen men arrested in dawn raids across London by Nipper Reid's Murder Squad.

The government faced <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_fourfm/1968-05-11">a back-bench rebellion</a> over prices and income policy. The student riots in Paris reached their height as Prime Minister Pompidou, after consultation with President de Gaulle, ordered the police to withdraw from the Latin Quarter and the Sorbonne was closed. A German professor parachuted into a field in Scotland to highlight the continued imprisonment in <i>Spandau</i> of Rudolph Hess. Manchester City dramatically snatched the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_three/1968-05-11">First Division</a> title with a thrilling four-three victory at Newcastle whilst rivals Manchester United were losing two-one at home to Sunderland. Liverpool (who also scored six against Nottingham Forest, Tony Hateley getting four of them), Leeds United (who suffered yet another defeat, their fourth in successive games, at Burnley), Everton and Chelsea completed the top six. Due to the 'one city, one club' rule, Newcastle - who finished in tenth - qualified for the following season's Inter-Cities Fairs Cup along with Liverpool, Leeds and Chelsea. Bobby Robson's Fulham were relegated along with Sheffield United (who lost two-one at home to Chelsea). Coventry City, under Noel Cantwell, escaped demotion by one point and Stoke City's goalless draw at Leicester City was enough to ensure their survival. Manchester United's George Best and Ron Davies of Southampton finished as the division's joint-top scorers with twenty eight goals apiece. Bestie was, rightly, awarded the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year, as well as the European Footballer of the Year award. A point against Blackburn Rovers was enough for Bill McGarry's Ipswich Town to win the Second Division by one point from Queens Park Rangers who were also promoted (who won two-one at Aston Villa). Blackpool, agonisingly, finished third on goal average despite winning their final game three-one at Huddersfield Town. Rotherham United joined Plymouth Argyle in relegation. Rotherham's two-one defeat against Carlisle United saw the league debut of Roy Tunks, the first of six hundred and ninety four games, for Rotherham, York City, Preston North End, Wigan Athletic and Hartlepool United, in a career that lasted until 1990. John Hickton of middlesbrough was the division's top scorer with twenty four. In the Third Division, Oxford United won their first ever divisional title in only their sixth season as a league club. Runners-up Bury, who beat Watford two-nil, were also promoted. Shewsbury Town (despite a one-nil win at Gillingham) and Torquay United (whose arse completely fell out as they lost four-nil at Reading) missed out. Don Rogers of Swindon Town was the top goalscorer with twenty five. As a result of the Peterborough United ruling Mansfield Town, who finished fourth bottom, escaped relegation. Luton Town won the Fourth Division and were promoted along with Barnsley, Hartlepools United and Crewe Alexandra. Contrary to common belief, Brian Clough did not lead Hartlepools to their first promotion, he and Peter Taylor had already left for Derby County at the start of the season and it was his successor Angus MacLean who took the team that Cloughie built into Division Three. Les Massie of Halifax Town and Roy Chapman of Port Vale were the joint top scorers with twenty five goals each. The bottom four clubs, York City, Chester, Workington and Bradford Park Avenue, successfully applied for re-election to the Football League. Port Vale - who finished eighteenth - were also forced to re-apply, as a result of their own financial irregularities. The first meeting between American and North Vietnamese representatives took place in <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_radio_two/1968-05-11">Paris</a>.

During her run, race manager Jock Semple repeatedly assaulted Switzer trying to grab her bib number and stop her from competing. After knocking down Switzer's trainer and fellow runner Arnie Briggs when Briggs tried to protect her, Semple was shoved to the ground by Switzer's boyfriend, Thomas Miller, who was running with her and she completed the race. Her finishing time of approximately four hours and twenty minutes was nearly an hour behind the first female finisher, Roberta Gibb, who had been refused a race registration but had run anyway and was not attacked during the race. Boston Athletic Association director Will Cloney, whose rejection of Gibb's entry into the 1966 race claimed that women were 'physiologically incapable' of running twenty six miles. Asked his opinion of Switzer competing in the race, Cloney said: 'We have no space in the Marathon for any unauthorised person, even a man. If that girl were my daughter, I would spank her.' Later in life, Semple reversed his position on women competing in the marathon. According to Marja Bakker (a later organiser of the race), 'Once the rule was adjusted and women were allowed in the race, Jock was one of their staunchest supporters.'

Goldie spent most of the time in Regent's Park, which surrounded the zoo, though he also made occasional excursions into the nearby neighbourhoods of Camden Town, Tottenham Court Road and Euston. While free, the bird killed and ate a duck in the garden of the American ambassador (which, luckily, <i>didn't</i> cause an international incident). He also attacked two terriers in the park, but was driven off by their owner, a little old lady armed with a really <i>vicious</i> umbrella. BBC reporter John Timpson unsuccessfully tried to lure Goldie by playing an Ethiopian pipe. Goldie was finally caught after the zoo's deputy head-keeper 'tempted' him with a dead rabbit. He was said to be in good health after his experience and was reunited with his mate, Regina. The zoo's attendance nearly doubled in the days after his return. Later in the year, Goldie escaped for a second time but was again quickly recaptured.

The previous year Flandro, a student working at NASA on his Master's in Aeronautics, was assigned the task of studying techniques for exploring the outer planets. In his study Flandro discovered a rare alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in the 1975-76 period and conceived <i>The Planetary Grand Tour</i> mission utilising the gravity-assist technique to reduce the mission duration from over forty years to less than a decade. By 1966, JPL was promoting the project, noting it would allow a complete survey of the outer planets in less time and for less money than sending individual probes to each planet. This was achieved by NASA with the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 missions, launched in 1977. The ideas from Flandro's research had major impact on subsequent solar system exploration; the Galileo and Cassini missions (to Jupiter and Saturn respectively) were made possible by the gravity assist method whilst Flandro also studied gravity assist trajectories to Pluto - the basis for the New Horizons mission launched in January 2006. <br />

Probably when he saw Bill Oddie was <i>also</i> on the programme. (At least three prior claims have been asserted to this 'first': a 'tired and emotional' Brendan Behan on <b>Panorama</b> in 1956; an anonymous man who painted the railings on Stranmillis Embankment in Belfast, who in 1959 allegedly told Ulster TV's magazine show, <b>Roundabout</b>, that his job was 'fucking boring' and the actress Miriam Margolyes, who claimed to have used the word in frustration when appearing on <b>University Challenge</b> in 1963.) In response to public outcry, the BBC was forced to issue a formal apology. Odious busybody <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1965-11-13">Mary Whitehouse</a> claimed to have written to the Queen, suggesting that Tynan should be reprimanded by having 'his bottom spanked.' The irony of Whitehouse's comment has been noted, given later revelations of Tynan's fetish for flagellation.

The <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1964-07-15">Post Office Tower</a> in London was completed, although it did not begin operation until October 1965. Due to its importance to the national communications network, information about the tower was designated as an official secret. In 1978, the journalist Duncan Campbell was tried for collecting information about secret locations and during the trial the judge ordered that the sites could not be identified by name; the Post Office Tower could only be referred to as 'Location Twenty Three'. It is often stated that the tower did not appear on Ordnance Survey maps until the mid-1980s, despite being a five hundred and eighty feet tall structure in the middle of Central London that was open to the public for fifteen years.

Secretary of State for War, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1963-06-05">John Profumo</a> extremely resigned from the government having been caught 'misleading parliament' (or, <i>lying</i>) about his involvement in nefarious naughtiness with Christine Keeler. The scandal originated with a brief sexual relationship in 1961. In March 1963, Profumo 'strongly denied' any 'impropriety' in a statement to the Commons and threatened to sue anyone that said otherwise, but was forced to admit the truth a few weeks later after diligent snooping by <i>Private Eye</i> and other journalists. The repercussions of the affair severely damaged the Conservative Party. When the Profumo-Keeler affair was first revealed, public interest was heightened by reports that Keeler may have been simultaneously involved with Captain Yevgeny Ivanov, a Soviet naval <i>attaché</i>, thereby creating a possible security risk. Keeler knew both Profumo and Ivanov through her friendship with Stephen Ward, an osteopath and socialite. The exposure of the affair generated rumours of other scandals and drew official attention to the activities of Ward, who was later charged with a series of immorality offences. Perceiving himself as a scapegoat for the misdeeds of others, Ward took a fatal overdose during the final stages of his trial, which found him extremely guilty of living off the immoral earnings of Keeler and her friend Mandy Rice-Davies.

The first episode of <b><a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1963-07-11">Riverbeat</a></b> broadcast. During a demonstration outside Claridge's hotel against Queen Frederika of Greece, Flying Squad Detective Sergeant <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1963-07-11">Harold Tanky Challenor</a> arrested one of the protesters, the political cartoonist Donald Rooum, with the memorable line: 'You're fuckin' nicked, my old beauty!' and punched him on the head. <i>Hard</i>. In Rooum's possessions, Challenor then planted a half-brick and Rooum was charged with carrying an offensive weapon. Subsequently Rooum, a member of the National Council For Civil Liberties with a knowledge of forensic science, handed his clothes to his solicitor for testing. No brick dust was found and, in court, Rooum was acquitted, although others that Challenor had arrested at the demonstration were still convicted solely on his evidence. By the time Challenor appeared at the Old Bailey in 1964, charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, he was deemed unfit to plead and was sent to Netherne mental hospital with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Three other detectives (David Oakley, Frank Battes and Keith Goldsmith) were all found extremely guilty and sentenced to three years in The Slammer. A statutory inquiry headed by Arthur James was set up - the first such under the 1964 Police Act. It was considered by some to be something of a whitewash and to have allowed police corruption to continue within the Met unabated. In the report, Challenor's mental illness was blamed for the false arrests rather than a systemic policy of stitching up anyone The Fuzz didn't like the look of. The lack of a follow-up prosecution of Challenor after he was discharged from hospital was also criticised as an example of establishment corruption. Because of this, 'doing a Challenor' later became a police slang expression for avoiding punishment and prosecution through retiring sick from the force.<br />

<a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1963-09-25">The Denning Report</a> on The Profumo affair was published. A story emanating from Mandy Rice-Davies during the Stephen Ward trial concerned a naked masked man, who acted as a waiter at Clivedon sex parties; although unnamed in court, widespread rumours suggested that the man was either a cabinet minister or a member of the Royal Family.

Malcolm Muggeridge in the <i>Sunday Mirra</i> wrote of <i>The Slow, Sure Death Of The Upper Classes</i>. With the Ward case <i>sub judice</i>, the press had pursued related stories.

John Barry's <b><a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1963-11-06">Around Seven</a></b> broadcast. Robert Spafford's <i>The Christine Keeler Story</i> - starring Yvonne Buckingham, John Drew Barrymore, Alicia Brandet, Mel Welles, Peter Prowse, Mimi Heinrich, Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies - <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1963-11-06">premiered</a> in the US (under the title <i>The Keeler Affair</i>). The film was twice rejected by the BBFC (in 1963 and 1969) and the second time was also banned by the Greater London Council. It has never been properly released in the UK, was banned in New Zealand and only shown in Australia after being heavily edited. In 1971 the film <i>was</i> screened in London at the New Cinema Club by owner Derek Hill as an act of defiance against censorship. Derek Malcolm of the <i>Guardian</i> said 'it was scarcely worth seeing even as a curiosity, a fact that Mister Hill openly admits.' To promote the film, photographer Lewis Morley took a photo of Keeler sitting on a chair on the first floor of Peter Cook's Establishment Club, with implied nudity. Though the film was never released in the UK, the iconic photo was subsequently published in the <i>Sunday Mirror</i> and has since become one of the most famous images of the 1960s.

TV producer and music connoisseur Jack Good used his column in the 17 March issue of <i>Disc</i> magazine to enthuse about several recent releases by US black artists in a piece entitled <i>We Choose Rhythm & Blues</i> - most notably records by James Ray and Arthur Alexander. Good was using one of two contemporary definitions of 'Rhythm & Blues', probably the more popular of the two - and one much used by many of the emergent beat groups to describe the music they liked and played - which was allied with <i>Billboard</i> magazine's weekly R&B chart. This included, essentially, <i>all</i> black music - from Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and The Coasters to The Isley Brothers, The Miracles and The Shirelles. It was, basically, what would subsequently be dubbed 'soul' though that genre descriptor was still a couple of years away from general usage. There was, however, a somewhat more purist definition for the term which leaned more towards the bluesier end of the spectrum mainly coming out of Chicago and the Chess label and this was pointed out to Good in a (rather sniffy) letter from one Brian Jones of Cheltenham published in <i>Disc</i>'s <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_light_programme/1962-04-07">7 April issue</a>. Jones suggested that all of the records (with one exception) that Good had praised were <i>not</i> R&B at all but were, rather, 'rock and/or roll' and that Good should acquaint himself with some Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf to listen to '<i>real</i>' R&B music. Amused, Good replid: 'It must be nice to be a purist, you don't have to think or feel you just apply a rule of thumb!' On the same day, Jones was in London at the Ealing Club watching Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated (including Charlie Watts on drums) where he met, for the first time, two eighteen year old blues fans from Dartford, Michael Jagger and Keith Richards.

Ipswich Town - managed by Alf Ramsey - won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/light/1962-04-28">First Division</a> title in their debut season at that level, finishing three points ahead of Burnley after a two-nil victory over Aston Villa. Burnley still had a game in hand but their one-all draw with already-relegated Chelsea meant they were unable to catch Ipswich. Tottenham Hotspur (three-two winners at Birmingham) were third, while Everton (who thrashed Cardiff City eight-three) and Sheffield United completed the top five. Seventeen players represented Ipswich during the season, with just six different goalscorers, including Ray Crawford who was joint English and European top scorer with Derek Kevan of West Bromwich Albion (who scored four in his team's seven-one defeat of Blackpool on the season's final day). Crawford and Ted Phillips netted seventy three goals between them during the season. Ramsey's triumph led to him being offered the job of England team manager, which he accepted early the following year. Manchester United endured their worst post-war season, finishing fifteenth despite the signing of David Herd from Arsenal. This prompted Matt Busby to strengthen United's attack by bringing Denis Law back from Italy in British football's first six-figure transfer.

They were joined in promotion by Leyton Orient who had never appeared in the Frst Division previously, thanks to a two-nil victory against Bury (Malcolm Graham socring both). Despite Brian Clough's twenty nine goals, Sunderland missed out on promotion by a single point (they could only draw their final match at Swansea Town), while Scunthorpe United (with just over a decade of league football behind them) were surprise promotion contenders for much of the season, eventually finishing fourth. Brighton & Hove Albion and Bristol Rovers were relegated whilst Leeds United survived with a last day three-nil win at Newcastle (another match over which there would be dark, though entirely unproven, allegations of underhand doings). Portsmouth achieved an instant return to the Second Division as champions of the Third. Accrington Stanley's place in the Football League went to Oxford United of the Southern League. Wrexham and Colchester United (who shared a goalless draw at The Racecourse Ground) joined Millwall in promotion from the Fourth Division.

The, rain interrupted, <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_television_service/1962-07-31">fourth test</a> at Trent Bridge was drawn. England, put into bat scored four hundred and twenty eight for five declared with Peter Parfit and Tom Graveney both scoring centuries, Ted Dexter eighty five and the Reverend David Sheppard eighty three. Pakistan's batsmen struggled, Hanif Mohammed being dismissed by Trueman off only the second ball of the innings. Unable to avoid the follow-on, Mushtaq Mohammed and Saeed Ahmed offered stubborn resistance, the former scoring his second test century at the age of nineteen. At the beginning of their partnership, there was a dramatic over bowled by Trueman which could have won the game for England. First, Mushtaq was missed by substitute fielder Cyril Poole at long leg and then Shahid, who had not scored at that point, was dropped by Fred Titmus at slip.

He returned to the first team two seasons later, but could manage only three games before retiring at the age of twenty nine.

A year in which fifteen factories making perambulator spares from old tramcars were closed down and more dogs wore coats in winter than at any time since 1953 (no figures are available for the summer).

An anticyclone having formed over Scandinavia, drawing cold continental winds from Russia, a blizzard swept across South West England and Wales. Snow drifted to more than twenty feet deep in places, driven by gale force Easterly winds, blocking many roads and railways. The near-freezing temperatures meant that the snow cover lasted for more than two months in many areas of the UK. Only two First Division games were played though both were high-scoring affairs, Burnley defeating Sheffield Wednesday four-nil and West Ham United winning four-three at Nottingham Forest.

Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction... This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognise the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.'

FAI rules in 1961 required that a pilot needed to land with the spacecraft for it to be considered a spaceflight. Although some contemporary Soviet media sources stated that Gagarin had parachuted separately to the ground, the Soviet Union insisted that he <i>had</i> landed with the Vostok; the government forced the cosmonaut to lie in press conferences and the FAI subsequently certified the flight. The Soviet Union did not admit until 1971 that Gagarin had ejected and landed separately from the descent module.

Dave Mackay, debutant Pat Quinn of Motherwell and Davie Wilson scored for the visitors. Glasgow Celtic's Billy McNeill was one of three players besides Quinn making their debut for Scotland (Bobby Shearer for Rangers and Motherwell's Johnny MacLeod were the others). In the week leading up to the match, Greaves was signed by AC Milan, but because of the embargo on foreign players in the Italian League, Milan could only sign him Chelsea as an 'option to buy', of which they paid ten thousand pounds. It allowed Greaves to remain a Chelsea player until the end of the season. Blackpool's two-one victory over Newcastle plunged The Magpies deep into First Division relegation trouble.

Having dismissed the Aussies for one hundred and ninety on the first day (Brian Statham five for fifty three), England secured a first innings lead of one hundred and seventy seven - Peter May scoring ninety five and Ken Barrington seventy eight.

Dexter, supported by Subba Row, scored seventy six in eighty four minutes and took England to one hundred and fifty for one going into the final day. But Benaud went round the wicket and aimed into Fred Trueman's footmarks, causing a collapse as England were dismissed for two hundred and one. Brian Close, unfairly, took much of the blame for England's defeat from the media, as he attempted to counter-attack Benuad, but was out for eight, sweeping. Jack Flavell made his test debut.

Ann Marie Burr, aged eight, vanished from her home in Tacoma, Washington. Suspicion subsequently fell on fourteen year old local <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1961-08-31">Ted Bundy</a>. A tennis shoe imprint was found by the overturned bench used to enter the house. Due to the small size of the shoe, police believed the perpetrator must be a youth. The Burr house was on Bundy's newspaper delivery route. The victim's father subsequently claimed he was 'certain' that he saw Bundy in a ditch at a construction site on the nearby University of Puget Sound campus the morning his daughter disappeared. Other circumstantial evidence also implicated Bundy, but detectives familiar with the case have never agreed on the likelihood of his involvement. After his 1979 conviction for numerous murders, Bundy repeatedly denied culpability and wrote a letter of denial to the Burr family in 1986. Robert Keppel - who invesitgated Bundy's serial murders in Washington State in 1974 - observed that Burr fitted all three of Bundy's 'no discussion' categories of 'too close to home', 'too close to family' and 'very young.' Forensic testing of material evidence from the Burr crime scene in 2011 yielded insufficient intact DNA sequences for comparison with Bundy's. <br />

England lost early wickets, but centuries by Ken Barrington and Mike Smith and seventy seven by Ted Dexter ensured a competitive score. The third day's play was severely curtailed, but it was still a decisive one, as West Indies slumped to ninety eight for eight. When their innings ended the following morning, Fred Trueman had figures of five for thirty five and Brian Statham three for forty two. Despite a first innings lead of two hundred and seventy, Peter May did not enforce the follow-on. England found batting difficult, at one point being one hundred and thirty three for seven, before useful contributions from Ray Illingworth (forty one) and Trueman (thirty seven) enabled them to declare, setting West Indies five hundred and one to win. A partnership between Conrad Hunte and Rohan Kanhai of seventy eight gave West Indies some hope of avoiding defeat, but Hunte was out for forty seven. On the final day, only Kanhai offered the prolonged resistance that was needed. A riot on the third day began soon after tea when Charran Singh - making his test debut - was adjudged run out prevented any further play that day.

Sobers was on one hundred and forty two and Seymour Nurse, in his first test, on forty six. However Sobers' early dismissal next morning triggered a collapse and the West Indies led by only seventy six. Cowdrey and Geoff Pullar more than wiped off the deficit, taking their first wicket stand to one hundred and seventy seven before both were out, Cowdrey narrowly missing his second century of the match. The innings then fell away and with one day to go England, led by only two hundred and four. However next morning David Allen and Brian Statham held out for forty five minutes, adding a vital twenty five runs and West Indies needed two hundred and thirty in two hundred and forty five minutes if they were to win. Conrad Hunte began in attacking fashion, scoring forty in an hour before he was the second man out. Sobers was run out when looking dangerous and, although West Indies continued to chase the target, scoring was never easy. When Rohan Kanhai was sixth out at one hundred and fifty two West Indies gave up the chase and England tried to get the four remaining wickets in the forty-five minutes that were left.

Again Colin Cowdrey top-scored in England's first innings and WesHall was the most successful bowler. Again Gary Sobers scored a century for West Indies, who once more secured a sizeable first innings lead but scored too slowly to have enough time to press home their advantage. There were a number of changes in the sides from the previous test. With Peter May too ill to play and being forced to fly home, Cowdrey took over the England captaincy and Raman Subba Row came into the side. West Indies were without Sonny Ramadhin because of a shoulder injury. Lance Gibbs was the intended replacement, but he had damaged his spinning finger, so Reg Scarlett was retained and Charran Singh was included as a second spinner. Clyde Walcott, who had supposedly retired from test cricket, was recalled and Frank Worrell, who had not been fit for the previous test, returned at the expense of Joe Solomon. Between them, the two English off-spinners, David Allen and Ray Illingworth, bowled eighty five overs for only one hundred and forty seven runs. Thanks to centuries by Ted Dexter and Subba Row, England had no difficulty in saving the game. <br />

Cliff Richard featured on <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_television_service/1960-03-31"><b>Crackerjack</b></a>. The <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_light_programme/1960-03-31">fifth test</a> at Port of Spain was drawn. Brian Statham had flown home because his son was seriously ill and Alan Moss replaced him. Roy Swetman, the wicket-keeper, had managed only fifty eight runs in the first four tests and was dropped. With Keith Andrew, the other wicket-keeper in the party, having few pretensions as a batsman, Jim Parks - who had been coaching in Trinidad - took Swetman's place. His only previous test appearance had been as a specialist batsman in 1954. West Indies included a third fast bowler, the fearsome Charlie Griffith, making his test debut. For the third test in succession, Colin Cowdrey and Gary Sobers top-scored in their respective sides' first innings. The first day ended with Cowdrey and Ted Dexter having added one hundred and ninety one for the third wicket before Dexter was out for seventy six. Next day, though Ken Barrington took his score to sixty nine and Parks made forty three, England only added another one hundred and thirty seven for their last seven wickets. In reply, West Indies were at one point one hundred and ninety for two, thanks to Sobers and Clyde Walcott (fifty three), but collapsed to two hundred and thirty for six. Conrad Hunte, who had retired hurt when the total was twenty four, returned to make seventy two by the time that West Indies declared fifty five runs behind in the hope of forcing a win. With England declining to one hundred and forty eight for six when Dexter was run out for forty seven, they seemed likely do so. However Mike Smith and Parks then put on one hundred and ninety seven, which remains England's seventh wicket record partnership against all countries. Cowdrey's declaration left West Indies a notional four hundred and six to win.

In the process he broke Billy Liddell's appearance record for the club, established in 1960. Callaghan's career total was one thousand and two games for Liverpool, Swansea City, Crewe Alexandra and England. Having games in hand over both of the sides above3 them, Burnley's three-nil victory over Luton Town, Tottenham Hotspur's home loss to Manchester City and second-placed Wolves one-nil defeat to a Len White goal at Newcastle meant the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1960-04-16">First Division</a> title appeared likely to be heading to Turf Moor.

They had not topped the table until the last match was played. Only two players in their suqad - Alex Elder and Jimmy McIlroy - had cost a transfer fee, the others being recruited from the club's youth academy. During the season, manager Harry Potts called on just eighteen players, with Jimmy Adamson, Brian Miller and Ray Pointer present in all fifty competitive matches they played. The team's top goalscorer was John Connelly with twenty four goals, including twenty in the league. Wolves had finished their season on fifty four points and, therefore, missed out on a third successive title by one point. Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion and newly promoted Sheffield Wednesday completed the top five. Manchester United dipped to seventh despite thirty two goals from Dennis Viollet and the mid-season signing of Maurice Setters. Luton Town, last season's FA Cup finalists, went down with Leeds United. Aston Villa earned an immediate return to the top flight as Second Division champions. Cardiff City were also promoted. Liverpool's change of manager from Phil Taylor to Bill Shankly was not quite enough to earn them promotion as they finished in third place, eight points adrift. Huddersfield Town could only finish sixth despite the goals of Denis Law, who was sold to Manchester City for a national record fee.

In the event, the group did enough to pass the audition - probably because, unlike several of the other groups, they were mostly unemployed and, therefore, available for work immediately - and, subsequently, played a (disastrous) seven-date tour of Scotland with Parnes singer Johnny Gentle in late May. <br />

England won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_television_service/1959-06-08">first of a five test series</a> against India at Trent Bridge by an innings and fifty nine runs. England began nervously against Surendranath and Desai, but Peter May hit one hundred and six and fifties from Ken Barrington, Martin Horton (on debut) and a quick-fire seventy three from Godfrey Evans meant that the hosts ended the first day at three hundred and fifty eight for six. They added a further sixty four the following morning. India began very slowly with spinner Tommy Greenhough - in his first test - conceded a mere sixteen runs in his first sixteen overs, also taking the first wicket, Nari Contractor. Two wickets for Fred Trueman were followed by late rain and on the third day Chandu Borde was unable to resume his innings, having broken a finger the previous evening. India's batting, with Bapu Nadkarni also handicapped by injury, subsided against hostile bowling from Fred Trueman, Brian Statham and Alan Moss and the innings of two hundred and six took over one hundred overs. Only Pankaj Roy reached fifty whilst in the follow-on he made a further forty nine. But apart from Vijay Manjrekar (forty four), Datta Gaekwad (thirty one) and Polly Umrigar (twenty) no other batsman reached double figures.

England won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1959-06-20">second test</a> at Lord's by eight wickets. Nari Contractor, hit by Brian Statham, batted with a cracked rib but still made almost half of India's first innings runs, with a determined eighty one. Tommy Greenhough took five for thirty five as the last six wickets fell for just twenty four runs. The Indian bowlers then reduced England to eighty for six, but Ken Barrington, with eighty, found unlikely batting partners in Statham and Alan Moss and England had a lead of fifty eight. Fred Trueman dismissed Pankaj Roy and Polly Umrigar in the first over and, though Vijay Manjrekar and Kripal Singh added eighty nine for the fifth wicket, the last six wickets fell for thirty four and England required only one hundred and eight, which an unbeaten sixty three from Colin Cowdrey easily achieved.

England won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1959-07-04">third test</a> at Headingley by an innings and one hundred and seventy three runs. England made six changes from the second test and one of the newcomers, Harold Rhodes, took wickets with his fourth and twelfth balls in test cricket to reduce India to twenty three for four, with wicketkeeper Roy Swetman taking three catches. Later Indian batsmen did better, but no one reached thirty on what appeared to be a bland wicket. England's new opening pair of Gilbert Parkhouse and Geoff Pullar put on one hundred and forty six for the first wicket and then Colin Cowdrey and Ken Barrington put on one hundred and ninety three for the fourth wicket, Cowdrey going on to make one hundred and sixty. After early wickets for Alan Moss and Fred Trueman, Brian Close and John Mortimore finished things off by five o'clock on <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_light_programme/1959-07-04">the third day</a>.

England won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1959-07-28">fourth test</a> at Old Trafford by one hundred and seventy one runs. Geoff Pullar became the first Lancashire player to hit a century in a <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_light_programme/1959-07-28">Manchester test</a> and Mike Smith also made a century. With eighty seven from Ken Barrington and sixty seven from Colin Cowdrey, England made the highest total of the series - four hundred and ninety. Surendranath took five for one hundred and fifteen. India's batting again let them down, though Chandu Borde made seventy five and guided the tail to a total of more than two hundred. Cowdrey, captaining England as Peter May was ill, did not enforce the follow-on, but England batted with little urgency. Gilbert Parkhouse, Barrington, Ted Dexter and Ray Illingworth all hit forties. The declaration set India five hundred and forty seven to win. A second wicket stand of one hundred and nine between Nari Contractor, who made fifty six and Abas Ali Baig, making his debut, was India's best of the series. Baig reached eighty five when he was struck on the head by a bouncer from Harold Rhodes and had to retire <i>very</i> hurt. He was able to resume the next morning and, in partnership with Polly Umrigar, threatened to save the match. Both reached centuries but once Baig was run out for one hundred and twelve, the innings quickly folded.

Sir Vivian Fuchs's <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_bbc_television_service/1958-05-18"><b>The Crossing Of The Antarctic</b></a> broadcast. England drew one-all in their first ever <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/light/1958-05-18">friendly international</a> with the USSR in the Lenin Stadium, Moscow. Derek Kevan was on target for the visitors. Burnley's Colin McDonald, Bolton's Tommy Banks and Wolves' Eddie Clamp all made their England debuts. England might have won but for the superb goalkeeping of Lev Yashin and the intervention of the woodwork when, first Tom Finney and then Kevan, struck the post. The shock after the match was Middlesbrough's Brian Clough being told that he had been excluded from England's World Cup squad. Clough had scored forty two goals in League and Cup matches and was in red-hot form. Cloughie, then and subsequently, made no secret of his extreme displeasure at this right-shite state of affairs. Also excluded were the experienced Nat Lofthouse and Chelsea's teenage sensation Jimmy Greaves. For some reason never fully explained, the selectors chose to take only twenty players to Sweden, when twenty-two were allowed in each squad by FIFA. The Fourth Division was created by the Football Association alongside a new, national, Third Division by merging the regionalised Third Division (North) and Third Division (South). The original economic reasons for having the two regional leagues had become less apparent and, thus, it was decided to create two national leagues at levels three and four. The twelve best teams from each regional league in the 1957–58 season went into the Third Division and the rest became founder members of the Fourth Division. <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1958-05-18">Toyah Ann Willcox</a> born in Kings Heath, Birmingham. <br />

The <a href="http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1958-06-08">Opening Ceremony</a> of the 1958 World Cup broadcast live from Stockholm. England drew their <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/light/1958-06-08">first match</a> with the USSR, two-two in Gothenburg. Trailing two-nil with twenty minutes remaining, a Derek Kevan goal and a Tom Finney penalty gave England a point. In the closing moments a crushing tackle on Finney damaged his knee and put him out of the tournament. For the first - and, so far only - occasion all four home nations had qualified for a World Cup finals tournament. In Halmstead, Northern Ireland opened with a fine one-nil victory over Czechoslovakia (Billy Cush of Leeds United scoring, Portsmouth's Derek Dougan making his international debut), Scotland drew one-all with Yugoslavia in Västerås (Jimmy Murray of Heart of Midlothian was on target) and Wales also drew one-one with Hungary thanks to a goal from John Charles. <br />

Australia won the <a href="https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/service_home_service/1958-12-10">first Ashes test</a> at Brisbane by eight wickets. In a low-scoring match, England were dismissed for one hundred and thirty four in their first innings (Richie Benuad, Alan Davidson and the notorious Ian Meckiff each taking three wickets) and one hundred and ninety eight in the second, Trevor Bailey top scoring in both. Australia had only a small first innings lead, with Peter Loader taking four for fifty six but Norm O'Neill's seventy one helped then to reach the required one hundred and forty seven. EW Swanton described the game as 'the dullest and most depressing I have ever watched.' The England tour manager, Freddie Brown, wanted to make an official complaint about Meckiff's questionable bowling action, but captain Peter May thought this look like sour grapes. Instead they talked, unofficially, to the Australian chairman of selectors Sir Donald Bradman who retorted: 'What of the action of the England bowlers Tony Lock and Peter Loader?' and suggested that they should 'first of all put your own house in order.'
