Tinniswood's Grand National The Grand National: the Blue Riband of steeplechasing. A sporting tradition with a colourful yet often controversial history - the mysterious tumble of the royal mount in 1956; the intriguing relationship between Aintree and the BBC's top brass.
Peter Tinniswood investigates these and other stories in a unique report on the National, using archive recordings made available for the first time by the BBC's Academy of Sports Commentators, and with dramatic reconstructions by Liz Goulding and Martin Jarvis Producer ANDREW PARFITT
