No better clip sums up British sportsmen in the 80s

Faced some tough opposition on and off the field. Still having an on and off again feud with an old Australian sporting rival, Ian Chappell - nearly fifty years on. Faced some tough opposition on and off the TV set, too, by the looks of this.

Scottish kids are obviously angry at Ian Botham for eating Shredded Wheat and not porridge.

1986: IAN BOTHAM Grilled by SCOTTISH KIDS | Open to Question | Classic sport interview | BBC Archive 16.1.25 0827am i recall ben elton got something of a televisual grilling by school kids, also...my media studies teacher of the time pointed this out . upon watching it i was left thinking that wasn't much of a grilling he got. it might just mean i was on the side of the kids giving him a grilling, though... their idealism probably yet to be dimmed by the grim realities of lazy assed journos..... as for botham - good player. i mean, he did prove that a cricketing maverick was required in them stuffy days of text book play. and he was an entertainer. so what?, ask i. nowadays cricket nothing akin to the 1960's and 70's, early 1980's of stuffed shirts. as tiresome as the olds of the day would have found it, giving some astute teens their voice to have the faces of the day explain themselves, as opposed to us indulging with a snappy PR soundbite... well, it's good copy, sir.

@JJONNYREPP I think I remember that Ben Elton school kids grilling. Didn't the kids complain to Ben that he used the word 'spaz' too often in his comedy sketches that he wrote ? I recall Ben not giving them a sufficient explanation / justification.

@@RolandoRatas Comments on ‘1986: IAN BOTHAM Grilled by SCOTTISH KIDS | Open to Question | Classic sport interview | BBC Archive’ 16.1.25 0912am ben elton and rik and ade's total bemusement at idiotic society as exemplified by their idiocy as an act - or, as i see it, just total nonsense masking as hilarity. spaz was a word used by children of the land to total effect. you didn't have to be a spaz to be one. you just were one - for a few minutes, at least... words are amusing. as were banal anecdotes which led to stupid violence. you need to recall that the stage is not real life/reality and that the violence enacted thereon is not some cue for a spaz to feel he can mete out violence to any dude he chooses to mete it out on. ben elton allegedly got some grilling from a bunch of school kids, wanna-be journos. good on them. i feel he didnt get a bad press... though, that's just me. same with botham - hardly searching question and answer routine. he seemed more irritated by their desire to push their agenda than anything else. their demanding he change nappies when on the other side of the world testament to that... again, i dont condone blood sports or support them - that hasn't altered the fact he, botham, was a good PR stunt for cricketing the word over - and played to win. and was a good player.

I was on his side until he said he was a "bring back hanging"-er, but the last straw for me was around 23:00 when he accepted that he was a "fan of Thatcher". 🤦 I guess maybe sportsmen should just stay sportsman -- but I also realize I have no right to tell any one *doli capax* how they should live their lives. 🤷‍♀
