Documentary series examining the state of modern-day sport. Is Sportsmanship Dead?
Cricketers hurl abuse and the ball at opponents' heads; footballers try their tricks when the referee isn't looking and often abuse him when he is.
Television seems to exalt this behaviour by dwelling on the action in slow motion replay. More Than a Gawdooks at what is being done to bring sportsmanship back into sport and visits a sports centre near London where one visionary shows how sporting behaviour can begin with 2-year-olds. Director David Harrison
