The BBC cannot just cancel TDU on us! Might be wrong but I'm sure it's actually a BBC film?
Really good film. They get the infamous Clough and Revie interview spot on.
Giles also stated that had the 3 principle people involved - Clough, Revie and Bremner - been alive the book would never have been written, Sheen was brilliant but as stated earlier both book and film, although decent entertainment, should be taken with a pinch of salt.They took against the book (and by extension the film) because its fiction trading as fact and has been rubbished by many of those who knew Clough and some of those who are featured in it like the Leeds team. Johnny Giles successfully sued the publishers due to his portrayal whilst Dave McKay successfully sued the film makers for the same reason.
Must’ve never seen Mike Bassett then?I haven’t seen it for a while.
Great movie and possibly my favourite sports related film never mind just football!
Did it end up coming on after the snooker? I ended up just streaming it. One negative for me is Stephen Graham’s attempt at a Scottish accent! Chronic.

Cheers OP. Great movie now on record for later
Barry from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was excellent as Peter Taylor too. The chap who played the Derby chairman was also brilliant. That wee rhat Compston played the role of either John McGovern or John O'Hare. I could be wrong but im sure Johnny Giles sued the film for the way he was portrayed in it?
