Barry Hearn: The People's Promoter.
BBC 2. 18:10pm - 19:00pm
Duration: 50 minutes
Sir David Jason narrates a revealing and intimate insight into the life of Barry Hearn, one of the most powerful and colourful characters in sport.
A self-made millionaire, Barry Hearn has wheeled and dealed, charmed and
chanced his way to the top from humble beginnings. He has managed some of the
biggest sporting stars of the past four decades in snooker, boxing and darts, he
has turned fishing, poker and tenpin bowling into top televised sports and he
bought his local football club, Leyton Orient, to save them from extinction. He
even had a Top 10 hit in the 80s as the brains behind Chas and Dave's Snooker
Loopy. Always opinionated, often controversial, never dull, Barry has survived a
heart attack and near bankruptcy to emerge as one of the unlikeliest sporting
heroes of the age.
Featuring contributions from former snooker world champions Steve Davis, Dennis Taylor and Stephen Hendry, darts legend Phil 'The Power' Taylor as well as Greg Dyke, boxing promoter Frank Maloney and son and daughter Eddie and Katie Hearn.

Travelling the world, he meets some of the biggest names in sport and investigates the many different issues that top sports stars face when retirement finally beckons.
With contributions from tennis icon John McEnroe, Open golf winner Darren
Clarke, and former world heavyweight champion and successful businessman George
Foreman, this is a fascinating insight into how very different sports stars deal
with the major issues of retirement. Some, like boxer Herol Graham, struggle to
cope and contemplate suicide, while for others such as former England football
captain Tony Adams, sports are like a drug they cannot give up. For top
sportswomen there are even more difficult choices to make as Olympic star Gail
Emms found out when she was faced with the decision of having children or
continuing with her career. And some, like promising England rugby star Matt
Hampson, do not have the choice as tragedy strikes.

Thursday 10th May
Shakespeare In Italy: The Land of Fortune 2/2
BBC 2. 21:00pm - 22:00pm
Duration: 1 hour
Francesco da Mosto takes a look at Italy as the land of adventure and
ambition - where fortunes are made and battles are fought.
Beginning in Venice with actor Ciaran Hinds, Francesco considers how his home
town so renowned for its justice struck Shakespeare as the perfect setting for
his disturbing tale of what happens to an outsider who goes against the law in
The Merchant of Venice.
Heading south to Rome, Francesco discovers how in his great Roman plays Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare used this ancient city as a smokescreen to address the most burning political issues of his day while avoiding trouble with the Elizabethan censors. Francesco meets Shakespearean actor Mark Rylance, and also pops in to Rome's very own Globe to understand modern Italy's fascination with our English Bard.
Finally he travels from Naples to the beautiful Island of Stromboli, just off the north coast of Sicily, a magical setting for Shakespeare's final great masterpiece - The Tempest.
