Botham: The Legend of '81
In the summer of 1981, Ian Botham produced a `boys own' performance to inspire the England cricket team to beat Australia against the 500-1 odds. Here, we see how the anti-establishment Botham unwittingly became a national hero once again, this time through his tireless work to help children suffering with leukaemia. Featuring contributions from his family and a host of celebrities.
