Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams

This programme got 10/10 fir me. Very sad Umar and his friend dying , such a waste of young lives,

So sad to read that one of the lads from the first series, Umar, has died in a car crash along with a young passenger.

I have just watched the last episode with a lump in my throat! So sad it's finished but what an inspiring series. Well done to everyone involved and good luck to Freddie with with his plan to start a countrywide "Field of dreams".

So that it has finished!!

I wonder if we, the "1st world" are the ones who made cricket so elitist here? Considered a posh sport here, but played on every street corner in a country where poverty is really prevalent.

I actually didn't realise it was considered quite so elitist. I played cricket at school (hated it!) and it certainly wasn't either a posh, or a private school. My Mum also played cricket at school and that was in the 1930's and definitely not at a posh school.

I would have thought polo, or even golf, trumped cricket in terms of elitism.

Hope those boys go on to bigger and better things, and I shall keep an eye out for Adnan playing at least for the county, if not the country.

Lovely series, well done to Freddie in teaching the lads to believe in themselves.

Lovely, heart warming, uplifting and all round excellent programmes.
Realistic too, no “miracles” but life changing in all the best ways for these lads.

Loved this series, what a nice guy, and to carry on after his horrific accident shows the strength and determination of Freddie.

The last episode didn’t disappoint, it was lovely to hear how the lads fared after the tour, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the whole series, a worthy use of our licence fee. Good luck to Freddie with rolling out his future plans and to his personal recovery.

I have only just started watching the first series - I had a smile on my face all the way through. What a great idea and just the right man for the job!

Yes YorkLady he’s the quiet strength in the background.

I agree, it a wonderful program that I don’t want to end.
Just giving a shout out to Kyle Hogg who has done a great job with Freddie. They are fantastic role models for the boys (now young men)

I loved the first series but not started the second one yet. Thanks for reminding me.

Words can't express how much I am enjoying this programme. It makes me cry (a lot) and it makes me smile. Freddy is doing an amazing job with the boys. Well Done Freddy and Well Done to all the boys!!
I just LOVE IT

Tonight’s episode was so touching in parts, I’m rooting for them all.

Loving this. It is heart warming to see how the group is growing together. I thought it was lovely the way they supported Ahmed , joining him on his Ramadan fasting . His story about how his mother sent him from Afghanistan in fear of his life, moved me tremendously. He most definitely had a horrendous journey. The others too have their own tales. A great bunch of lads. Well done to Freddie for keeping faith in them.

Absolutely agree with all the comments and am enjoying this second series as much as the first. Sad to hear that cricket is still considered an elite sport. My grandson and granddaughter both attended state primary schools where cricket was encouraged and has given them a good grounding (some may say obsession!) for the game. We need more Freddie Flintoffs in this world.

Ditto to all of the above comments.

Excellent !

Im absolutely loving this series. Freddie comes across as such a kind, caring man. I go from laughing to crying all in the space of 60 minutes.

Absolutely brilliant series.
I want to climb into the TV and give them all a big (( hug)).

This is a must watch….does seem to make my eyes water a little, and I’m a tough old bird not known for wet eyes! I love it.

I think Freddie is fantastic. He is such an inspiration for the boys and he is willing to show his own vulnerabilities which is so important, particularly for men and boys.

Yes me watched the first series and loved it so can’t wait to watch the 2nd series

I loved the rest 1st series, and this one is even better. I agree that Freddie is getting a lot out of this too.

I'm watching it. Great second series - and as he says himself, not just about the cricket.
