As a sports and human performance nut, I enjoyed many of the stories within this show. However, Idris Elba sounded bored, and added nothing to any of the episodes. I'm an Idris fan (go Luther!) but his lack of enthusiasm or inflection was very distracting. Some of the games and sports had life in the balance, but Idris and his monotone made it sound like they were doing nothing more dangerous than making a cup of tea.
Idris himself has done some amazing sporting activities so I'd of thought he'd be able to generate more enthusiasm for his narrative.
I could have done without the animal abuse/cruelty too - that seems unnecessary in the 21st century.
