BBC Empire 3of5 Playing the Game XviD AC3

Empire (BBC)

History Documentary hosted by Jeremy Paxman, published by BBC in 2012 - English narration





Information
------------------------------

Jeremy Paxman traces the story of the greatest empire the world has ever known: the British Empire.



3) Playing the Game
He continues his personal account of Britain's Empire by tracing the growth of a peculiarly British type of hero - adventurer, gentleman, amateur, sportsman and decent chap - and a peculiarly British type of obsession - sport, the empire at play. He travels to East Africa in the footsteps of Victorian explorers in search of the source of the Nile; to Khartoum in Sudan to tell the story of General Gordon - a half-crazed visionary who 'played the game' to the hilt; to Hong Kong where the British indulged their passion for horse racing by building a spectacular race course; and to Jamaica where the greatest imperial game of all - cricket - became a battleground for racial equality.
