The 1966 World Cup Final was shown live on BBC & ITV in 1966 in black & white to an audience of over 32 million - still the most watched event in UK TV history. Over 200,000 frames were individually remastered over a six-month period, along with a newly engineered soundtrack and the original ITV commentary, and using state of the art technology, restored and colourised the match in radiant colour. The metamorphosis from grainy black & white to vivid colour has brought a new audience to England’s greatest sporting achievement. One of the most exciting and dramatic games in World Cup history - featuring the classic talents of football icons like Moore, Hurst, Beckenbauer, Banks, Seeler and the Charlton brothers, all against the backdrop of London at the height of the swinging sixties. Six incredible goals and, after extra time, England victorious.
