‘Mair Grass Willie’. If you’ve ever had ‘mair grass’ shouted at you then this is the DVD for you.
‘The Story of Bowls’ runs for almost three hours beginning with the origins of the game, some of the famous characters who played, then with extended highlights of Commonwealth Games action over many years and right into this century. The home countries are all well covered reflecting their success at the Games. Much of the footage comes from the BBC and ITV archives and is really high quality.
Very knowledable commentary from David Rhys Jones and David Bryant with coverage of many others like Willie Wood, Richard Corsie, Peter Bellis, Tony Allcock, David Gourlay etc. Enthralling and great value.
Pal – Colour – 2 Hours 50 minutes duration
