Was looking at old Crufts shows on youtube and came across a couple of uploads from the 1997 Crufts show aired on BBC2. One video is titled as 20th March 1997 Terriers/Hounds, and another video is titled "Crufts 1997 terrier, toy and hound groups, broadcast 8th March 1997". Why the 20th March date I don't know as Crufts is normally held in early March. What I found strange about these videos is that they both show the hounds and terrier breeds, but one features the shortlisted breeds and the other includes all the breeds entered.

The show below, dated the 8th March (a Saturday I believe) includes the shortlisted hounds like the Afghan Hound, Beagle, Basset, Wolfhound, Saluki, Long Haired Dacshund, Wire Dacshund and the Petit Bassett Griffon Vandeen. But the show dated the 20th features the remaining hounds that were present in the ring. Ive watched Crufts a number of times over the years and ive never seen them show each individual group twice, normally it's one dog group each day. Unless the 20th date was a special broadcast or highlights, but nothing shows up on the BBC Genome website for that date.
