Is it any wonder Britain is so obsessed with sport? It plays on so many of our national obsessions: class; national, regional and local identity; our love of the underdog and booing of pantomime villains. David has pulled together a masterful overview of beautiful and not so beautiful games and assesses their impact, from bare-knuckle boxers to Lionesses. Here he talks to broadcaster (and passionate Gooner) Dermot Murnaghan about how sport defines British life and culture like few other things.
