TV review: Guinness, sheep, Irish dancing — A League of Their Own road trip to Ireland

If the banter gets too much, you can always just press mute. It worked for me more than once

A League of Their Own: Dingle to Dover — they learn that Irish dancing is stressful if you haven't done it before

Four minutes into A League of Their Own Road Trip: Dingle to Dover (Sky Max and NOW TV app), and we’ve already had mentions of Guinness, Michael Flatley and a ceilí-load of diddly-aye.  Not bad going given that the first two minutes is a recap of the kind of capers that the lads got up to, on other road trips. So no, this is not going to be an examination of life in 21 st century Ireland.

The hosts, Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp, cruise around the Dingle peninsula in a giant 4x4, before meeting up with comedian Romesh Ranganathan and former footballer, Patrice Evra on the pier at Dunquin. They are given a task by a local man, Donncha, to herd sheep up a hill.
