Episode description
In this bonus episode, we reflect on one of the best stories told on Life Beyond Sport.
Legendary broadcaster Jeremy Thompson recounts his experiences across an incredible year - 1984 - which saw him get a lot more than he bargained for...
After reporting on the Los Angeles Olympic Games for ITV almost single-handedly, Thompson was sent to India to cover an England Test cricket tour. But in the process, the sports correspondent was drafted in to report on the assassination of an Indian Prime Minister and a British diplomat, as well as major riots, political turmoil, and an industrial accident which claimed the lives of almost 4,000 people.
