''Final Score'' is a BBC Television programme produced by BBC Sport. The programme is broadcast on late Saturday afternoons in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, usually on BBC One. BBC Northern Ireland opts away during the last ten minutes to cover local results. BBC Scotland runs a different programme altogether – ''Sportscene Results''. ''Final Score'' is also broadcast on Boxing Day, New Year's Day and Easter Monday plus a special Sunday edition on the final day of the Premier League. The programme, predominately presented by Jason Mohammad, provides viewers with the results from the main football league matches played on that day. ''Final Score'' is also broadcast on Saturday afternoons on the BBC Red Button and online for two hours before the BBC One broadcast begins. This programme features a live studio discussing the day's play as it is being played while also showing audio coverage clips of a large number of matches that are being played. After the domestic broadcast concludes, an additional half-hour was also broadcast live on BBC World News, the BBC's internationally-broadcast news channel,〔(Final Score )〕 but has been discontinued from the 2015/16 season. The round-up covers games from the Premier League to the Conference National, in Scotland the four divisions of the Scottish Professional Football League as well as the Welsh Premier League and the Irish League. The programme includes interviews with managers, players and studio pundits. It concludes with the day's scores being read by Mike West. Tim Gudgin used to read the scores until his retirement in 2011. There is also a review of the league tables for most divisions. It is a rival show to Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday, which started its Saturday afternoon football scores service in 1998. ==Early days== ''Final Score'' had been part of BBC's long-running show ''Grandstand'' as far back as 1958. The football results appeared on a device dubbed 'the Teleprinter', with each character of the results displayed one-by-one. In the early days, the presenter stood next to the Teleprinter with a camera pointed at the actual printer. The results would come from the Press Association (PA), who appointed a correspondent to attend each match and report back the half-time and full-time scores to its offices in London. The PA would then use the technology of the day to provide a feed to BBC Television Centre. The Press Association provided the vidiprinter results service until Opta Sports took over the contract for the 2013/14 season onwards. The host of the main Grandstand programme used to present the scores and often try to reflect how each result affected the league, which meant meticulous preparation was necessary. After the majority of the results came in, the scores would then be collated and announced as the 'Classified Football Results' in alphabetical order starting with the highest leagues first. Remarkably, only three people have regularly read the football results on the programme: the Australian Len Martin (from the first programme until his death in 1995) and Tim Gudgin. Gudgin read the results for the last time on 19 November 2011, then retired at the age of 81. He cited the BBC's decision to move the programme from London to Manchester as one of the reasons for his departure and the difficulty of travelling from his home in Hampshire, particularly in winter. The classifled results were then followed by the pools news and score draws and then the league tables, although the pools news element has been dropped in recent years due its decline. Whilst football was always the mainstay of ''Final Score'', news and results from other sports, such as rugby union, and in the early days, racing were also included. A brief version, usually lasting for 5 to 10 minutes, was aired during the summer when football was out of season. 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「Final Score」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
