Netflix' first live sports event

[Bob Jersey]

Four PGA Tour stars (from Full Swing) and four drivers from Formula 1 racing (and ...Drive to Survive) are paired off on the links in Vegas (which will host F1 that weekend) for an eight-hole match, with the top two teams advancing to the final hole and a shot at a presumably-attractive trophy... The Netflix Cup streams LIVE, 3pm local Nov 14th...

In the mid-eighties BBC2 used to show "International Pro-Celebrity Golf" with various pros taking on BBC stars and various other sportsmen. 

Here's a listing for a 1983 F1 themed edition featuring Seve Ballesteros and James Hunt taking on Lee Trevino and Nigel Mansell!

Aside from being live, this is basically the same show.

This Genome thing at the Beeb is phenomenal... 80+ years of Radio Times issues* not only digitized, but converted to text through OCR, with a group of willing readers fixing all the typos! Imagine if TV Guide did that here...

*Back in my Dr Who phase, one of the things I found in my search for ephemera was a copy of RT that featured a Doctor... I'm not sure if I still have it, nor recall which Doctor...

It is fantastic isn't it? You can check scheduled airdates of basically every BBC TV and radio programme in its history.

The only annoying thing is that they used to include the actual scans of pages, but there are some kinds of copyright issues that prevent them being made available (Photos and adverts not necessarily being fully cleared is one of the main problems).

It would've been better if the Radio Times had contained the ITV and Channel 4 listings before 1991, but everyone claimed copyright for their schedules and would not allow the Sunday papers to put in TV books like in the U.S.--and so to get the listings in advance, you had to buy both the Radio Times for the Beeb and TV Times for ITV and Channel 4. Deregulation in 1991 changed it all--and has also led to the claims since then of ITV going downhill with too many bloody reality shows.
