Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Match of the Day Season 5 is worth clearing space for. Match of the Day Season 5 understands that the format only works if the people in it feel real. Grandstand presenter David Coleman begins regularly presenting Match of the Day. David Coleman leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1968. The format has been replicated endlessly since Match of the Day Season 5 first appeared, which is its own form of tribute. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.
If the format appeals to you at all, Match of the Day Season 5 is one of the stronger examples of it. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. The casting and production never let it go stale. The kind of thing that disappears an evening without you noticing.
