In the last episode of the series, Eddie is joined by cricket legend Freddie Flintoff. Flintoff and Eddie talk about the impressions they had of each other before meeting, Freddie’s move into the media through Top Gear and A League Of Their Own, and his desire to coach at the highest level of cricket.
