I particularly like to see Roman numerals used in TV and film production
credits. In particular, the BBC sticks resolutely to using them. There was
something lovely about programmes in 2000 just having "(c) BBC MM" at the
end of them.

Is there another sport, aside from the NFL, that uses Roman numerals like
that? Most sports just use the year.
