FREDDIE FLINTOFF'S FIELD OF DREAMS RETURNS TO BBC ONE FOR THIRD SERIES

The critically acclaimed, Bafta nominated and RTS award winning Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams is back for a third series with sporting legend Freddie Flintoff taking on an even tougher challenge.

Determined to prove that his previous success wasn’t a one off, having created a cricket team like no other in his hometown of Preston and taken them on a life changing tour to India, he's now set his sights on a much more ambitious plan.

Freddie wants to supersize the project right across the North West of England: He’ll attempt to form boys teams in Manchester and Liverpool while also attempting to create his first ever girls team in Blackpool at a club without any youth teams. Can he prove his blueprint for a league of dreams can work against a backdrop of a lack of funding, uninspired teens and derelict cricket clubs?

Joining Freddie in an extended coaching team is former Lancashire fast bowler Kyle Hogg and new recruit, current England Women’s international player Kate Cross.

Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning BBC Documentaries says “Freddie Flintoff has proved himself an exceptional role model. To see his passion for and commitment to cricket shine through and the transformational impact it has had on the lives of the lads from Preston playing on his team has been incredible to witness. I’m so pleased that he is back for another series building on the success of the last one.”

Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
