action replay

Televised moment again

An action replay is a recorded segment of live footage—typically from a sports broadcast—played back immediately, often in slow motion, to show a key moment again: Let's see the action replay of that goal.

The term is primarily British; Americans say instant replay.

Figuratively, an action replay is any repetition of events: It was an action replay of last year's disaster.
