Former cricket player turned TV star Freddie Flintoff has been notably absent from our
00:04
TV screens ever since he suffered a crash whilst filming Top Gear in December 2022.
00:10
Last week he was pictured publicly for the first time since the crash and now it's reported
00:15
that he'll be returning to filming in winter for the second series of his popular BBC show
00:20
Filled Dreams.
00:21
So I'm going out on the streets of his home county Lancashire to garner some public reaction
00:26
to the news.
00:27
Let's see what they have to say.
00:29
How do you feel about Freddie Flintoff perhaps coming back to TV?
00:32
I think it'll be great.
00:34
It'll be great to see him on TV again.
00:37
Are you a fan of Filled Dreams?
00:39
Yes, I was so pleased to see him helping those young lads and particularly that lad from
00:45
Afghanistan.
00:46
It was just great to see how he could relate to those young lads and he could do so much
00:54
for our local community.
00:58
It was a pity that more people weren't involved on the day that they had the cricket match
01:06
because I think lots of us would have gone down but somehow we just missed the advertising.
01:12
Well maybe for the second series you might get a chance?
01:15
Oh I hope so.
01:16
If I know about it I'll be there.
01:19
How do you feel about Freddie Flintoff being back on your screen?
01:22
I think he's really good, especially since he's just come back from injury and he went
01:27
through a lot of the Top Gear show.
01:31
I think it's really good for him, especially due to mental health and a lot of it.
01:34
He was quite a bit of an advocate at the time and I think it's really good for him.
01:38
Did you watch him on Top Gear?
01:40
I watched him a bit, yeah.
01:41
I think because my family was quite big on Top Gear so I had to watch it.
01:46
I enjoyed it and I knew him a little bit beforehand with radio shows and things and The Last Leg
01:52
especially and things like that.
01:53
But no, it was really entertaining.
01:54
So this is about A Field of Dreams, have you heard of that show?
01:58
I've not heard of the show but I'd love to look more into it.
02:04
It seems like it would be quite an interesting watch.
02:06
So you know it's about cricket?
02:08
Yes.
02:09
Are you interested in cricket?
02:10
My family is.
02:11
I had a big cricket and rugby household so it kind of got pushed into me.
02:16
But no, I think it's going to be a good watch especially if it goes more into the depths
02:24
of the cricket world and how it affects you as a performer or athlete.
02:30
How do you feel about Freddie Flintoff returning to our screens for A Field of Dreams series
02:33
2?
02:34
Yeah, to be honest, A Field of Dreams, I hadn't heard of it as a show but I saw that he was
02:40
back pitched this weekend which was great to see.
02:43
Great to see him back to his health, especially after what happened last year.
02:49
Will I watch A Field of Dreams?
02:50
I might do.
02:51
Now I've read up about it, the show sounds fantastic.
02:54
It's great cause behind it.
02:57
But yeah, the main thing is he's back to his health and he's back to doing what he loves.
03:01
So pleased for him.
03:02
Are you a Prestonian?
03:03
I am.
03:04
So does it make you proud to see him back?
03:05
I'm very proud to see him back.
03:06
It'll be good for the sport especially, definitely.
03:07
I think especially with it being his first show back on TV, after what happened, I'm
03:18
definitely more likely to tune into season 2 and then catch up on season 1 as well.
