Filming Begins On 'A League Of Their Own: European Roadtrip'

News Image
Filming has begun on Sky One's 'A League of Their Own: European Roadtrip', following the success of the two previous 'US Roadtrip' series.

Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff will return as team captains to tour Europe, taking on sporting challenges as they go with the help of new team mates.

They will have new team mates join them on each leg of the trip including comedy host Alan Carr, Spice Girl Geri Horner, cricket legend Kevin Pietersen, boxing champion Anthony Joshua, and tennis champions Jamie Murray and Novak Djokovic. Also on the road trip are footballer John Barnes, actor Tom Davis, comedian Josh Widdecombe, darts champion Raymond Van Barneveld, footballer Ruud Gullit, Vicky Butlet Henderson, Mark Cavendish and Gernnaro Contaldo.

The captains and their teams will visit some of the most famous sporting events in Europe and battle it out in a variety of competitions. Whether it's scoring from the spot at the San Siro in Italy, stepping up to the oche at the PDC Unibet Premier League darts tournament in Rotterdam, chancing the tables in the famous casinos of Monaco or flower arranging in Holland, the stakes are high as Freddie and Jamie fight to be crowned king of the road.

Sporting greats will train the teams and lend advice along the way as they compete against each other in four hour-long episodes set to air in early 2019.

A League of Their Own: European Roadtrip is produced by BAFTA winning CPL Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company, and commissioned by Adam MacDonald and Barbara Lee for Sky.
