News Features

HUTC have established an International reputation for providing News content often overlooked by other mainstream providers. Whilst we are best known for covering amusing stories that provide an antidote to the often somber headlines dominating our daily lives, HUTC also offer more serious reports from Science, Technology and the Environment to Human Interest and Lifestyle stories. These reports are not presenter led, nor voiced so are therefore delivered in an ideal format to edit and use in your own news bulletins as a broadcaster or provider of web based news content.

If you are interested in the story featured here or in exploring news content for the future, please contact us or register for our Broadcast News Service.

Shrovetide Football The World cup maybe very soon, but for people living in Derbyshire the annual Shrovetide football game is far more important. It is said to be the world's oldest, largest, longest and maddest football game. The game is played between the Up'ards, those born north of the River Henmore which divides the town, and the Down'ards, those born south of the river. Any number may play providing they can claim to be Up'ards or Down'ard's. The game can last for up eight hours and rarely is there a goal scored. Shops in the town board up their windows and close for Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday as the streets become a huge playing field, three miles long and two miles wide - absolute madness!
