The Referee
Description
Umpire, official, judge, referee - the term varies from sport to sport, but the job is always of vital importance. This program explores the role of the man or woman who, for all practical purposes, must take control of an athletic competition and without whom the game or event wouldn't happen. Viewers learn about the qualities of a good official, the challenges and difficulties they often face in carrying out their duties, and various ways to prepare for working in such positions. Interviews with professional umpires, referees, and officials bring home the real-world aspects of their work in rugby, cricket, and other sports. Produced in the United Kingdom.
