''Graham Taylor: An Impossible Job'', also known as ''Do I Not Like That'', is a 1994 British fly-on-the-wall documentary directed and produced by Ken McGill, written by Patrick Collins, and made by Chrysalis for ''Cutting Edge''. The documentary follows the England football team through the 18 months before their failure to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup Finals and gave an insight into revealing the pressure manager Graham Taylor was under before his resignation. It was originally broadcast by Channel 4 on 24 January 1994. ==Background== Neil Duncanson (who joined Chrysalis as a freelance producer in 1991) suggested the documentary, when all around him said they would never get permission. The title of the film ''An Impossible Job'' reflects the difficulties of the England manager's position. Film-maker Ken McGill and his team recorded Graham Taylor and his team throughout the qualifiers. Taylor agreed to take part in the programme as he hoped it would show the differences between club and international management. But as results turned for the worse, the focus shifted to Taylor〔 and the documentary captured a manager increasingly bereft as results went against him. In 2013, Pete Shepherd revealed, "None of us in the 'Hack Pack' who followed England at the time knew that a documentary was being filmed. But Graham Taylor did." Taylor thought about cancelling filming before the trip to Norway in June 1993, but knew that the written press - who were already hostile towards him - would seize on it as an admission England would not qualify.〔 Before England's match against the Netherlands, the Dutch FA had denied access to the documentary/camera crew filming Taylor, but the England manager helped to smuggle them inside the De Kuip stadium.〔 The crew donned England tracksuits and carried their film equipment into the stadium in team kitbags. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「An Impossible Job」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
