A League Of Their Own takes its cue from sporting obsession and sets two teams of comedians, celebrities and sports stars against each other in a test of their sporting knowledge. From record breaking feats to headline grabbing events, the show is stuffed with the kind of sensational take home facts that sports fans just love to quote.
The show tackles questions like - "which footballers spent the most on their wedding?" and "Can you arrange David James' haircuts in chronological order?"
Across three rounds, the teams' sporting knowledge is put to the ultimate test. A League Of Their Own takes its cue from sports fans' obsession with lists and stats and the first round sees the teams arrange three possible answers into their order of preference.
The second round, Guest List, challenges the teams to come with up with the same answers a famous sports star has given in response to a question about their profession.
The third and deciding round, Human Clock, is the ultimate test of knowledge and stamina. Two team members must answer quick-fire questions for as long as the third teammate can sustain a physical challenge.
It's red v blue, Redknapp v Flintoff, and no one wants to be on the losing side. Who'll have the last laugh and claim victory, proving they're truly in a league of their own?
James Corden comments: "I'm thrilled to be hosting A League Of Their Own and can't wait to start. I've never hosted a show like this before and I'm really looking forward to it. I've come to the conclusion that as I spend most of my time sitting around with my mates talking about sport, I might as well get paid for it."
The guests set to appear throughout the series will come from the worlds of sport, comedy and entertainment. They'll include tennis lover Jimmy Carr, Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman, Olympic boxing champion Amir Khan, Mock The Week host Dara O'Briain and reigning Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button.
