ABSTRACT

Ian is a sports commentator for Eastland TV. He decides to make a programme on Eastleigh Rovers, a local amateur football team that has reached a regional cup final. In the programme, there is a shot of the team in a public house with the comment from Ian, ‘This is how the team prepares on Friday night for its cup final match on Saturday’. In fact, the scene was shot on a Saturday night after a previous game. This film also shows John, the centre-forward, eating a hamburger with the comment from Ian, ‘As a bachelor, John has to do his own cooking so he eats out a lot’. John is in fact married to Jane, who is most upset at this comment.
