3:59Now PlayingIn the summer of 1980, as the England cricket team face off against the West Indies, an even more intense battle is happening just around the corner. The Table Cricket Championships are being fought within a stone's throw of the Oval, and the dozen schoolchildren fighting it out mean business. The prize? A trip to the West Indies, of course.
Cricketers Alan Knott and Bob Willis drop in to have a go, encourage the players and experience the white-hot furnace of real competition, right down to the final between "demon bowler" William and "demon batsman" Peter.
Excerpt taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, Friday 25 October, 1980.
