The initial programme of the first televised bridge tournament to air in the UK entitled "
Master Bridge" which was broadcast
in 1983 is now showing on YouTube.with further programmes to follow I can remember when the series was first shown
when I was just a beginner at the game. It regularly attracted audiences of 3 million plus and not all bridge players.
One of the participents is Pakistani legend Zia Mahmood when his hair was a lot darker than it is now(!).
