Flintoff: Lord of the Fries
This travelogue series sees former England cricket captain Freddie Flintoff living out his childhood fantasy of running a fish-and-chip shop. Joining him on the endeavour is extreme cyclist Rob Penn, whose adventures on bike include crossing the Trans-Amazonian Highway with Flintoff. With a mobile chippy fuelled on cooking fat, the duo make their way around the UK serving up the British favourite. Along the way, they find themselves in unusual environments, from magical forests to remote camping grounds, as they meet fish shop experts and learn the tricks of the trade. Their first stop is a Lancastrian chip shop found on the estate where Flintoff grew up.
From batting to batter, Freddie Flintoff realises his dream of running his own fish and chip shop, travelling the UK in a specially-made mobile chippie.
Forget winter, Freddie's Fish Bar is coming, heading to Northern Ireland and a famous Game of Thrones filming location. Freddie dusts off his boxing gloves, too.
Next stop: the West Country. Freddie and adventuring sole-mate Rob march on, attempting to surf the Severn Borne, before bonding with an alpaca.
Pulling up in Scotland, Freddie and Rob try to make a good impression on their hosts by battering some chocolate bars. They also have a go at caber tossing.
More appetites are satisfied as Freddie and Rob move on to the South East, taking part in a treasure hunt on the River Thames and, later, the Battle of Bosworth.
Coming full circle, the boys conclude their adventure with a trip back to Lancashire, finishing with a feast at the cricket ground where Freddie made his name.
