It's going to be called 'Our Liverpool: Never Walk Alone' and I'm pretty excited about it, even if it is just to see if they can squeeze more than one syllable answers out of Kenny Dalglish. This is clearly the influence of the American ownership beginning to show as TV series following professional sports teams in the US are commonplace.
Working directly with Liverpool’s ownership and management, FOX Soccer has gained
exclusive and unprecedented access to one of the most influential brands in global sport. Never
before have cameras been allowed inside the Anfield locker room, Liverpool’s home stadium
since 1892 and hallowed ground for millions of supporters worldwide. Our Liverpool: Never
Walk Alone begins deep inside the club at the end of the 2011-2012 campaign, with the team
chasing its eighth FA Cup title against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on May 5. Episodes
continue through the club’s July tour of North America. FOX Soccer’s crew is there on and off
the field as Liverpool prepares for the upcoming Barclays Premier League season and plays the
first few matches of its 2012-2013 campaign. Throughout this journey Liverpool’s enduring
traditions are highlighted, along with the club’s unparalleled and storied history, and its heartfelt
place in the fabric of the local community
One of the reasons to be optimistic is that it's being produced by Scott Boggins who worked on HBO's brilliant '24/7' series. It'll be premiering sometime this autumn.
