It starts as it means to go on; with a good old argument. 

James Hogg visits the Greetland moors, home of the 1972 Knur and Spell World Championships. Knur and Spell is an honourable sport played only in Yorkshire and Lancashire that involves plenty of skill and even more complaining. It has been disparagingly referred to (though not by anyone at BBC Archive) as "poor man's golf".

Can Greetland's own mighty Selwyn Schofield defend his world title? Or will some young upstart from the Barnsley or Colne contingent walk away with the title, the glory and that coveted silver cup?

Well, you don't get this on ESPN or Sky Sports. Not yet, anyhow.

This clip is from Nationwide, originally broadcast 4 October, 1972
