After his serious car Crash, Freddie Flintoff makes a welcome return to TV

NEW FACTUAL
Freddie Flintoff: Field of Dreams On Tour
Tuesday, 9pm, BBC1
The moving 2022 BBC series Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams saw ex-England all-rounder Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff return to his home city of Preston to introduce local teenagers to the joys of cricket.
It was such a success that Flintoff decided his next project would be taking the lads on a cricket tour to India. But his plans were put on hold following a serious car crash while filming Top Gear in December 2022.
The follow-up series, in which the delayed tour finally goes ahead, marks the 46-year-old's first TV appearance since the accident and facial-reconstruction surgery that followed it.
