"I’m quite soothed by this blanket coverage, as the chunter and flow of sports commentary formed the weekend soundtrack of my youth. It’s an endearing, relatable start to a series that promises more high-profile encounters – in episode two he talks to Harry Redknapp and David Pleat (Redknapp has some great stories) – as well as the grit of his new reality. Lennie James narrates, and the show is well produced, but none of it would work without Defoe’s engaging personality."
