Hearts Documentary 9th November

[Scorrie]

Just seen that the first part of the long awaited behind the scenes Hearts documentary is on BBC Scotland on 9th November. Only 3 episodes sadly but popcorn on order. Apologies if posted elsewhere ...

[nonshinyfinish]

Assuming three one-hour episodes, I expect an hour dedicated to the cruel injustice of their "demotion" and 90 minutes about beating Hibs twice, leaving a half-hour scramble to summarise the other 17 points they racked up.

[DarlingtonHibee]

This could be brilliant 😊

[Bostonhibby]

It's been made yam friendly by the propoganda unit running it but I'm particularly looking forward to the bit where Mrs Doctor Budge wrestles and defeats a crocodile before going on to defeat Vladimir Putin at arm wrestling thereby ensuring Russia's withdrawal from Syria.

The episode where she saves Scottish football from armageddon in her lunch break should be good as well.

Somewhere in there they are bound to mention her successful plan to avoid being bottom of the league and therefore relegated.

Hopefully there's a cameo moment for the over budget and way beyond deadline single tier stand project she masterminded.

Is it called "Hearts 'Till Everyone Else Dies Because They Can't Survive Without The Maroon Pound"

[oneone73]

I see it's made by Two Rivers media, the company owned by Kirsty Wark's husband Alan Clements, the people who brought you the Alex Salmond retrial doco. I expect it to be sensationalist and headline-grabbing. It won't be a hagiography, it will be going all out for ratings.

[BILLYHIBS]

ALL OR NOTHING? :greengrin

[Magpie]

They really waited for this semi final to show this documentary.

If they win on Saturday the end of the documentary will be them celebrating the victory as if they won the cup overshadowing the fact they got relegated with the one of the biggest budgets in Scottish football.

If they lose then the semi final will not see a mention.

100% this. They’ve held out for a happy ending, hopefully we spoil it for them.

[calumhibee1]

Oh yes. I don’t care how Hearts friendly the production team are. They got relegated. They can’t really do anything to make that anything other than hilarious.

[SanFranHibs]

I am surprised it is not being aired on the 11th, at the 11th hour.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

This is going to be absolutely glorious.

[Hibs4185]

How can they possibly fit that much hilarity into only 3 episodes? They must be a couple of hours long each??

Or they are only showing the bare essentials to save face

[Rumble de Thump]

If it makes them look anything other than the laughing stock they are then it'll have been a complete waste of time. It's stramge that it wil only be three episodes after their car crash season. The producers must have enough material for a good few 12 episode series.

Episode 1 - Geggenpress
Episode 2 - If Something's Not Right Then It's Not Right
Episode 3 - Relegation

[HFCdeb]

Punting the Mrs out that day and getting the popcorn on the go. There will be comedy galore. Obika, Levein, MacPhee (hahahaha), Berra getting punted out to Dundee, Stendel, Budge saving Scottish football. Three episodes is nowhere near enough really.

Pretty sure relegation won't get a mention. Expunction might. So unfair.

[matty_f]

Actually, with this being the BBC I fully expect the first hour long episode to start with a wee narrative of Hearts' situation going into the season for the first couple of minutes, then the rest of the show will be extended highlights of the 2012 cup final.

Episode 2 will pick up with Hearts positive news of the hiring of Stendel, before the rest of the show is dedicated to their win at Easter Road, with extended highlights and multi-angle replays.

Episode 3 will casually mention that they were relegated before recapping Episodes 1 and 2 with highlights of the cup final, their last win, and probably something about the war.

I’m looking forward to the scene in the Accounts department when they all shout “IT”S IN” and Ann Budge’s Hibby brother is then seen at the end of the show disappearing in the background with a bag painted with SWAG, £6.3m of James Anderson and FoH’s money, wearing sunglasses and a big smile, and the music from Thug Life playing.

[neil7908]

It'll definitely be spun in their favour. All the really juicy stuff that would show the clubs shocking mismanagement will be ignored for the 'drama' of beating us, their tears and snotters about the team bottom of the league going down etc.

As others have said, the producers will be absolutely desperate for them to win on Saturday to show they are on the way up.

Think I'll give this one a miss but I salute those who sit though it for the rest of us.

[Carheenlea]

If we are hoping for a “Sunderland till I Die” style documentary we will likely be disappointed.

I’m expecting cheap looking and basic BBC Scotland filmed production that instead of really getting into the meat and bones of the club and the fiascos that coincided with their presence, it will likely be predominantly be lots of long monologues with Anne Budge sat in her office.

Will still be tuning in to the first one alright just in case it really is comedy gold.

Might be worth running a sweep to guess how early into the show Hibs get a mention.

[SChibs]

Do people seriously believe the BBC put out pro Hearts propaganda? I'd understand if we were talking about Celtic or Ranger due to the large support would get lots of clicks and coverage but Hearts? Not buying it.

[WhileTheChief..]

They’ll try their best to show Hearts in a positive way.

Expect to see lots about their youth academy, women’s team, charity stuff, save the children, work in the community etc.

Guaranteed Budge won’t accept any responsibility for anything that went wrong. She’ll be sticking up for Levein as the credits roll.

How much do I want it to start with the theme tune to the Office and similar opening credits with the main stand taking the place of the Wernham Hogg office?

Then Craig Levein coming across as a David Brent style boss. "I'm basically a stressed-out anti-entertainer". "I'm probably a prick first, boss second. Dullard third."

I don't intend watching it as it'll be the usual revisionist ***** about how the whole world was against them.

Unfortunately we've given them the perfect excuse to play the victim and how they used that as an incentive to win the semi-final.

In that regard, I think it should be prescribed viewing for Ron Gordon, Leeann Dempster and Jack Ross to give them on the handle of their mentality and use it to try and instill a bit of disdain for that mob at Board and managerial level.

[Keith_M]

I've got a feeling that any Hibbies looking forward to this are going to be very disappointed.

It'll be edited to show Hearts as desperately fighting a struggle not of their making and fighting a war of defiance against evil forces, culminating in a glorious victory against Hibs that signals their re-birth as a force to be reckoned with.

[Saturday Boy]

I’ve just been told that Elvis Costello is doing the theme song.

Presumably just an alternative to the Sunderland one, they were at least likely to get promoted at the time I guess but in terms of Scottish teams they had to pick someone big enough to get some interest in the show.

These things do seem to be a precursor to an embarrassing relegation actually...

I'll wait for the reviews on here before watching it just in case they do manage to somehow make it very pro-hearts.

It’s definitely going to be very pro-Hearts but imho that just makes it more amusing.

At the very least it’s going to be interesting to see what happened that caused them such a hilarious exit from the League.

[Green_one]

So are people actually expecting the pro Hearts BBC to show Hearts in a bad light? It will be a fantasy, with Tom English as Gandalf and Budge as Frodo.

The only hope is that regular exposure of Budge to the camera will show her up as a huge slaver. However even Daniel Levy comes out positively in the Spurs version. Not that this will be of that quality.

I certainly will not be watching it, as I do not want a regurgitated maroon version of last season and my tv is not insured for heavy flying objects impacting with it.

Fusty crust ego project that went wrong.

Funnily enough this wasn't instigated by them, the BBC states by the maker that they were planning on following up to the 'big fan ownership handover', but what they caught is a total cluster ******.

A few points from me:

They filmed this over many many months, I'm quite disappointed it's only 3 x 1hr episodes given the complete disaster they followed. Bear in mind they also caught the COVID situation so only stopped filming recently, even before COVID there had to be 6 at least.

Until 8 days ago I was really looking forward to the carnage playing out for all to see, people saying last weekend was only a blip and we can laugh, hmmm I'm not so sure myself now, I can't brush things like Hampden under the carpet especially given the potential of that loss.

I would be amazed if Levein didn't come across as a totally decent guy, the Sunday evening of 'that' Ozturk goal I was in his company in Tiger Lily and I cannot bring myself to say anything negative against him, that's my experience of him. I wasn't drunk in anyway, obviously deflated and not in the mood for much, his conversation was excellent.

It's been said plenty on here, but I also have no idea where this paranoia that the media are pro pushing a Hearts agenda. Any BBC I watch or listen to absolutely rip them to shreds, can anybody give evidence that shows the contrary? Am I missing something?

[twiceinathens]

Watch out for the Trump-like reference to being "illegally" relegated.

[Rumble de Thump]

If a documentary is not right then it's not right.

[Rumble de Thump]

I don't think I've ever heard Hearts being ripped to shreds on the BBC even though it's entirely merited. I've only ever heard the complete opposite, especially this year.

[Steve20]

This will be poor viewing for any Hibs fan. No way the BBC will have Hearts shown in a bad light, relegated or not.

And even if it was going to be amusing, Hibs players and management put an end to any of that with their pathetic display at Hampden.

[Diclonius]

It’ll also show that despite us gifting them 6 points that they still got relegated. That’ll be hilarious.

Just once I'd love Hearts to have a **** season AND not humiliate us too. That would be even more hilarious.

While I understand it was the BBC that went to them, Budge will have in no doubt jumped baws deep at the chance to promote her ego.

As for Levein, see my post on him on off the ball. For the first time I’ve ever listened to him when it wasn’t totally hearts related or encouraged by bell chief extraordinaire Tom English he came across as decent and genuine and funny (I can’t believe I just said that ****) the opposite of my persona of him and the opposite of Gary Locke or John Colquhoon.

I’ve also stuck up for the BBC plenty on here despite their pro hearts leanings in recent years. I certainly don’t think they are anti Hibs but they are becoming increasingly pro Hearts.

[The 90+2]

I’m not too sure mate. That would be the BBC going against the SPFL. They will in no doubt cry injustice, show the derby and rangers wins and have an exclusive half hour interview with Stendel who will say football in a German accent a few time’s and slaver a lot.

A year or so back Alan Preston and Michael Stewart regularly lambasted Hearts on the BBC. More so from a footballing perspective rather than off field but both got properly ripped into them despite both being supporters of the club.

Mind you, maybe that’s why they’re not on the shows as much now!

I agree.

Had we beat them in both home games, then it would be great viewing. But the documentary makers have to add some positives for Hertz fans as there would be little else for their fans to excite them. They'll make the derby wins the focal point of the programme, with loads of gloating quotes.

Would rather watch paint dry! Or re-runs of the Aberdeen match!

We all know this isn't going to be an accurate account of what went on but hopefully the programme makers at least manage to get it right about 1 or 2 things. From March onwards fans of other clubs came to realise what we've known for ages, most of what comes out of there is total BS.

The women’s team have had nearly all their funding cut.

The guy being interviewed about the women’s team left to Rangers also.

As others have said Hearts watched it and told what should be in the documentary and what shouldn’t be.

Levein and Budge were never seen in same room.

[CropleyisGod]

They've used up a whole episode covering up to when they appointed Stendel when they should have only spent about 15 minutes on that period. From March onwards was when the fun began, they should be concentrating more on that but will probably waste more time on the boring stuff.

[CropleyisGod]

I have to confess I didn’t know they had a ladies team. Then again they were a division below us...

[GreyJammies]

It is Hearts.

The most bland, humdrum thing in the country since 1874.

A club that is regularly relegated and is incapable of winning trophies.

It was never gonna be an hour of Die Hard style action - Though I am sure Craig Levein wears a manky vest, has no shoes and spends his Christmases hanging out with terrorists.

[The Captain....]

That was a mess of a program - really dull, didnt reflect the shambolic goings on and bizarrely shoehorned in more about the womens team winning a game than Levein being sacked.

It also increased my dislike of Brian McLoughlin...obese hertz ****.

[Brightside]

I assume next week will be 55 mins of the Hibs game? How can you film for so long and have nothing to show. The girls team winning the 2nd division is a real stretch for a high light.

[Andy74]

One thing it confirms is that they are an amateur shambles from the top down.

[calumhibee1]

Thought that was alright tbh. Even if it didn’t stick the boot in to them as much as it could have it was interesting to see behind the scenes of a Scottish football team.

There is enough material for six episodes...so poor that they jumped through the content so quickly...Hearts ladies the winners, Budge the saviour but really the shambles...that Stenal press conference with her is priceless....

Their ladies team or hearts generally? We need specifics when it comes to them being a division below us. :dunno:

“Daniel played as a striker himself. So you’d think he favours attacking football.”

It's quite impressive that the producers managed to make the show so devoid of anything interesting, especially when they had so much to work with.

[Real Emerald]

I didn’t watch it (I will though) but on having a peek at Kickback most of them are saying it’s a load of propaganda and a cover up to protect Levien and Budge. It must be an extension of Sportsound, which is exactly what I thought it would be. Why have a fly on the wall documentary, witness an utter car crash and not show it? It’s BBC Scotland all over with Hearts. As I’ve said though I’ve not watched it and I’m only going by all the comments.

[Pretty Boy]

I watched about 15 minutes and it was obvious it was little more than a propoganda piece. I'd be stunned if Hearts didn't have a lot of editorial control over that. An absolute disaster of a season for them and a viewer with little knowledge about Scottish football would have had no idea that was the case.

I ended up rewatching the Garry O'connor documentary instead.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

I thought it was an enjoyable watch to be honest.

[BILLYHIBS]

Doctored by Dr Budge but an interesting watch nonetheless

I thought the Hearts fans looked an ugly bunch but we knew that anyway

Best bit for me though, and I'm amazed you lot haven't commented upon it yet, was Gary Locke, just a few minutes in, in the home dressing room saying "Probably the biggest home dressing room in Scottish Football".

That was a close second to Austin McPhee referencing the WW1 stuff. Cringey!

That was brilliant. Shame they edited out the bit of his opening press conference where he said he had never heard of Hearts.

No wonder their pitch was wrecked with Budge and the comms woman walking across the pitch every day in their high heels.

Powder puff documentary for a powder puff team run by a powder puff old lady unt ein powder puff manager.

Brian McLaughlin: "So Daniel why have you picked the team you have picked?"
Stendel: "I have no idea."

Levein actually came across ok for a change and admitted he wasn’t very good as director of football or manager.

It seems the fly-on-the-wall documentary makers weren't even allowed to film him or speak to him while he was working at the club.

[rossevenil]

If ever you wondered about propoganda the appointment of the new manager is a belter when she calls her finance person to the office to discuss the appointment and starts with "some really really big names and we have had appliactions from people who have managed some of the biggest international clubs aswell as people from South America" to which the Finance woman responds "it does say something about the stature of the club doesnt it" :greengrin:greengrin naw it says everyone knows you lot pay over the odds on wages

Dear o dear,never seen such an "orchestrated" fly on the wall documentary in my life,as others have said papering over anything that shows them in a bad light and she really does haver some crap old bagpuss

[Brightside]

The one thing that stood out for me is the FoH people. I don't get it. They are plugging the holes in the finances of the club week in week out. And they remain so massively proud of that and never seem to question that the club is obviously badly run if it requires all these other funds. An initial rally round to stop the club going bust is one thing but to continue putting in that money on top of STs etc is just weird. I know plenty Hearts fans that put in an additional £50 a month. £600 a year. On top of ST etc. They could get a Chelsea ST for that!

Now, I speak as someone who has actually looked forward to this for a while, simply as it caught them at their lowest points, it's been 12 months in the making and as I said the other day only 3 x 1 hour shows?? That then means the producers have managed to gloss over most of the stuff, we have a 2-0 win in December to be shown and if they show that they they'll 200% show the 3-1 at ER.

[lucky]

After watching the Netflix football documentaries on Sunderland and Spurs the BBC have produced a poor attempt at showing the inner workings of a football club.

If Uni campus they rent is so great why do they train at the PBS and St. Andrews so often?

[Col L]

Levein actually came across ok for a change and admitted he wasn’t very good as director of football or manager.

He maybe came across okay because he now effectively works for the BBC.


I found it watch-able, but disappointingly dull considering the crazy season that they had. They really glossed over the drama that surrounded Levein's sacking and didn't give the fans much of a platform to vent their anger at what was going on. Those they did interview were safe hand-picked types.

For me, it wasn't really a fast paced fly-on-the-wall documentary, in the way Sunderland Till I Die was. Instead, Levein was allowed to take a deep breath and reflect calmly on what happened instead of the cameras capturing him at his embittered best in the heat of the moment. It's probably the most honest I've heard him, mind you, he's not exactly known for saying he has got something wrong (I still laugh at his description of Scotty Allan's 20-yard half-volley on the turn as 'scrappy')

Auld Budge came across as cold and completely out her depth. And what was the Grime soundtrack all about... Cringey!

[Pretty Boy]

I watched the rest of the show this morning. I expected Poundland Sunderland til I Die and it fell some way short of my expectations. It had the feel of a club TV piece put together by volunteers.

Forget the club involved was Hearts. I can't say I feel any more knowledgeable about the inner workings of a Scottish football club after watching. Hearts have half decent training facilities, it's quite difficult when a manager has to be sacked and people who work for the club feel crap when they lose. Enlightening stuff.

I doubt I'll watch the remaining episodes. I'm not sure if it would have worked better with a club like Aberdeen. Cormack is a bit of an egotist so might have put more on show. The whole thing seemed very concerned with not showing Hearts in any kind of negative light; obviously you don't want to piss off your subject matter but given the season they had it seemed to dance around the fringes too much and seemed very controlled.

I think the same thing happened with the Sunderland documentary. The 1st series was real warts and all stuff but the 2nd was far less revealing. The club had obviously learned lessons and whether by accident or design Hearts and the documentary makers seem to have adopted that cautious approach.

[Col L]

Totally agree. The first series of STID was really enjoyable, and quite cutting edge. The second series was watered-down p*ish in comparison.

I just hope there isn't a second series of the Hearts one!

[WhileTheChief..]

The real drama is once COVID strikes.

2 episodes of Stendall losing and as many people as possible saying ‘it’s no fair’.

Ill be watching. Not even seen Tom English yet, he’s bound to have a starring role.

Everything about it is showing Hearts up to be small time and amateur. What’s not to like.

Did anyone ask the questions and get the answers we are all dying to know?

Locke nearly dropped into misogynist banter about comparisons with air hostesses and their female matchday reception team too. he also didn't elaborate on how he has gone from first team manager to showing hospitality guests around pre match. I liked the bit when he said I kick every ball that just like the 98 cup final...

The programme is sticking to their well worn positive spin narratives, clearly any references to their pursuit of Jack Ross or all the Barnsley side show around stendal didn't make the final cut, there is better materiel to come though with the failed new manager bounce (of which we had a part) , that squad 'rebuild' around releasing everyone that brokeback posters thought was ***** and the very public relieving of the captain duties from Christophe .

They started it with a few games already played - including their first win at ER - with the 1-1 against the Huns.
There was also a shot of rain in the stands, but was too close to see where and which stand it was.

[Seveno]

Just watched it and only two things stand out for me. Firstly, it is so boring. Secondly, the poor standard of finish in every part of that stadium.

[overdrive]

I’m not sure Budge should be putting herself at risk in these covid times by going to the stadium. Given how out of breath she was just walking across the pitch and people having to ask her if she was ok, I don’t fancy her chances if she picks up covid.

I also liked the part where the assistant groundsman admitted to arguing with the fans.

If we are hoping for a “Sunderland till I Die” style documentary we will likely be disappointed.

I’m expecting cheap looking and basic BBC Scotland filmed production that instead of really getting into the meat and bones of the club and the fiascos that coincided with their presence, it will likely be predominantly be lots of long monologues with Anne Budge sat in her office.

Will still be tuning in to the first one alright just in case it really is comedy gold.

Might be worth running a sweep to guess how early into the show Hibs get a mention.

It’s interesting the players who obviously wanted nothing to do with it. Also, Hearts training is the same as other Scottish clubs apparently. Do Hibs use a rented facility they can be stopped from using, train on Easter Road the day before a game and train in a junior pitch? The show is about as shallow as the Gorgie gene pool.

The groundsman was the standout! He should be promoted.

Boxing Day derby on the horizon for 2nd episode - we will get a better view on how much Budge and co influenced the final cut with how they handle that.

I remember the vitriol coming from above the tunnel at full time while the away end were celebrating!!! I recall someone has a video of it and one guy was saying “don’t look up, don’t you dare look up” with a level anger never seen before (suggesting they didn’t have the right to look up after that performance).

[Yorkshire HFC]

I've just watched it - wasn't very impressed, and I'll have to be pretty bored to watch any more.

As others have said, no real insights into how Scottish football works. What stood out to me was that Budge didn't seem to have much of a team behind her - maybe it was just not shown, but she seemed very isolated.

I was hoping for more input from the players, on the training and seeing the players thoughts - but there wasn't much of that.

Nobody should be ashamed of their accent to be fair. Part of your identity and background and not everyone is going to speak like Graham Spiers.

I agree. But I’d personally have toned down the ‘daft laddie standing outside a chip shop’ character if I was on TV.

Each to their own though

I suspect it will be another hour of random footage that tippy toes around the fact the season was a complete disaster for Hearts. Apparently Stendel will be giving someone from HR some flowers in this episode. Edge of the seat stuff :greengrin

Just watching the first episode.

They are so amateur it’s unbelievable. From the back office to the grounds man.

A championship setup for a championship team

Can't bring myself to watch it either. I know it'll be comedy gold but can't stand watching anything to do with that rancid club
