SMASH HIT A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN RETURNS TO SKY1 HD FOR AUTUMN 2011
Just in time to brighten up even the darkest Autumnal evening, the smash-hit A League of Their Own returns for an eagerly anticipated fourth series (Friday 7th October at 10.00pm, Sky1 HD and Sky1.) Host and referee James Corden is back in the hot seat once again to tackle all manner of sporting trivia in his inimitable trademark style. Ready to go back into combat for their respective teams are co-captains Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff alongside regular panellists, Sky Sports presenter Georgie Thompson and comedian John Bishop.
A League of Their Own has established itself among the elite of the panel shows and this series is bigger and better than ever before! As well as testing the gang’s sporting knowledge to the maximum, every episode sees Corden, Redknapp, Flintoff, Bishop and Thompson throw themselves head first into a variety of action stunts, ranging from the hilarious to the hair-raising.
The League panel will be pitting themselves against Olympic winner Andy Turner in a hurdles challenge and kitting themselves out in shiny spandex for a side-splitting rhythmic gymnastics routine. John and Jamie make a splash diving from a cool 10 meters up alongside Olympic hopeful Tom Daley and try not to lose their nerve as they undertake a terrifying parachute jump.
An array of starry guests will be lining up to showcase their sporting know-how this series including comedians Lee Mack, Jason Manford, Jimmy Carr and Jack Whitehall, tennis legend Andy Murray, footballer Frank Lampard, cricketer James Anderson and Olympic gold medallist and face of the 2012 Games, Jessica Ennis.
The League panel will stop at nothing to give Sky1 viewers a champion serving of first class humour and entertainment they’ve come to expect from a show at the very top of its game!
A League of Their Own series four launches on Friday 7th October at 10.00pm on Sky1 HD and Sky1.
