The London Programme

Regular reporter John Taylor also produced and directed many of the films during the 1980s, each covering a different subject. This example from 11/11/1983 is entitled Football Hooligans, and asks whether violent supporters can be outwitted. This followed the November 1983 riots between Tottenham Hotspur fans and those of the Dutch team Feyenoord. The title sequence on this clip was used for many years: grimy-looking colour-treated film footage of Londoners intercut with maps from the city A-Z, accompanied by a stonkingly good theme tune.
