A Channel 4 ‘Cutting Edge’ documentary, broadcast on Thursday 15th October, featured various Red Lion pubs located up and down the country. Included among these was Studham’s own Red Lion, with a piece that focused on the Green Office Golf Society, informally “head quartered” in that fine hostelry. The programme makers originally expressed a desire to examine how the good old British Pub provided a backcloth for many such sporting and social activities. In the event, the final version of the programme seemed much more intent on presenting most of the other pubs either as a home for singles and social misfits, or as a haven for potential or actual alcoholics to enjoy their addiction. Many viewers were less than impressed that our own Red Lion fund-raisers were presented alongside some less noble activities.
