German football has helped no end, of course, and fans of British horseracing were in clover last week when it returned to their screens, but other than that we’ve largely had to make do with nostalgia.

Like on Channel Four on Sunday afternoon when they showed the entire 1966 World Cup final, with guest Zoomy appearances from the likes of Geoff Hurst and Glenn Hoddle. (Glenn, incidentally, has a chandelier in his kitchen). Unlike Geoff, Glenn didn’t play in the game, mainly because he was only eight at the time, although that silver lockdown beard he’s now sporting makes him look like he might have appeared in the 1930 decider.

“I don’t want to spoil the result,” Gabby warned Geoff before chatting to him, but he then went on to reflect on his hat-trick which hinted at an England victory, thereby ruining the entire viewing experience for any viewer who didn’t know the result. And that might be the majority because, as we know, they don’t talk about it much.
