The 2000 season was recorded in a different order to how it would be
broadcast. Two editions were recorded at most venues a day apart, but
these programmes would be placed at different points in the transmission
order. JSFnetGB has opted to retain the intended transmission order for
the Series Guide, and the original recording order is noted in the details
of each programme. |

Main presenter, Keith Chegwin was incapacitated for this heat and for the
subsequent one after breaking his leg. Like the old trooper that he is, this
didn't stop him commentating on the games - from his hospital bed! He was fortunate
that these heats were staged at the Royal Hospital School! |
