Now if your under 40, not from Yorkshire and spend most of your life occupied with useful and worthwhile objectives then you are extremely unlikely to remember this programme.But in a Frenzied poll of the office, it was found that at least two of us had fond recollections of this 70s institution (out of about 700 people).
Take a very well known ex sporting legend (Fred Truman), give him a pipe and a pint of beer and a decidedly dodgy cardigan and have him introduce all manner of pub games such as Arm wrestling, Shove ha`penny,Bar Billiards and skittles, just the average type of game you can see down the Chav and Bulldog (not a real pub, I just made it up) every night.
Indoor league also featured Darts and Pool way before Sky was even a twinkle in Rupert Murdoch's eye and amazingly ran for almost 5 years.
Truman always signed off every week with the legendary "I`ll see thee"
For anyone who hasn't a clue what i`m talking about, buy the DVD and join the retro revolution http://www.amazon.co.uk/Indoor-League-Vol-Freddie-Trueman/dp/B000BSQQX6/labyrinthgames
