The Screen Guide

'Bodyline' is the most emotive word in the history of test cricket. The events that transpired during the 1932-33 test series between Australia and England spread far beyond the cricket field. The furore created by 'Bodyline' soured Anglo Australian relations and caused diplomatic shock waves that were felt in the corridors of Canberra and Whitehall. The documentary draws on archival film footage, photographs and interviews with historians, writers and family members of the principal characters in the 'Bodyline' saga.
