Lead editor Graham Taylor attended the premiere in Manchester’s Printworks and brushed shoulders with Davd Beckham, Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole (he had to pretend he likes football)! On working on this project, GT said “ It was quite an intimidating prospect to re-assess one of the great sporting achievements of the 90’s, but with Ventureland producing and working again with Sampson Collins, we were able to cut through the cliches and get to the essence of what made that season and that team so great. Working alongside Sam from pre-production right through gave me the opportunity to shape multiple narrative and thematic arcs across the series and individual episodes. Entirely shaped in the edit suite, with an unprecedented depth of research and material, comprehensive original interviews, and with sound design, music and VFX given due prominence and attention, 99 was a dream to work on from start to finish”.
