5.0 out of 5 stars I'll See Thee ...., 9 Feb 2006
Just got hold of a copy of the greatest DVD release of the year so far .... Yorkshire TV's Indoor League.

Forget Skinner & Baddiel taking the mickey out of it on 'Fantasy Football', this was the dogs wot-sits of telly in the early 70s.

Fronted by sporting hero Fred Trueman and live 'from the Queens Hotel in Leeds', contestants from all across christendom (well, the Yorkshire TV area) battled it out for the top prize of £100 per sport.

Trueman was clad in what became almost a uniform in Northern England at the time, consisting of kipper tie, brown cardigan and complete with the standard tap room pint & pipe. All topped off with Fred's fantastic hair do and at last you might guess what he did with that Brylcream endorsement after he packed in test match cricket.

Contests included darts (on a Yorkshire board mind, none of this Southern 'trebles' rubbish), Shove Ha'penny, Bar Billiards, Table Football and even (Cheese) Skittles .... The programme gave gainful employment to commentating greats, the likes of Keith Macklin and Dave Lanning during the three day week and between stints of World Of Sport.

Ladies and Gentlemen .... This is the sort of thing that the public want. It got great viewing figures in the region (providing there wasn't a power cut on) Forget Celebrity Islands or which soap star can sing, this was proper telly.

So, let us salute another great Sid Wadell idea (well before he started his 'panto' act on the Darts or even Jossy's Giants) and get your copy of Indoor League made in the days when 'goodness me, you made the best of it ...'

5.0 out of 5 stars From a time long, long ago..., 16 Mar 2008
By Richard Allen - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I have fond memories of watching Indoor League while eating my lunch on school days. In the afternoon we would try-out our Fred Trueman impressions, with imaginary pipe and pint.

Watching these DVDs now, it seems hard to believe this took place only thirty-odd years ago. It looks to have been made in a different age. Was I really about in these times! However, it's charmingly nostalgic. Many of the participants seem terribly middle-aged (although they were probably much younger). They play the games in suits and ties and the commentators gives us useful background information, such as the headmaster who competes in the bar billiards (could that happen now?).

I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again. Clearly it can only be targeted at people who watched it before; I suspect anybody under thirty would be bemused that this once passed as entertainment.
