In collaboration with Chapter 81, the documentary features John Watson, former managing director of Waddingtons during the 1970s, who offers an insider’s view of the company that became Britain’s leading manufacturer of board games and playing cards.
Waddingtons first began producing the UK version of Monopoly in 1936, selecting the now-famous London properties that have become synonymous with the game, but Leeds was the birthplace of Waddingtons, a company that played a pivotal role in the gaming industry from the 1930s onward.
