Channel 5, Monday 14th December at 7pm!
Strongman season is upon us, and it starts with Britain’s Strongest Man from Sheffield.
Filmed way back in January 2020 in front of a 10,000 strong crowd that roared and rocked the FLY DSA Arena, with the athletes under the glare of the spotlight and firework entrances, this almost seems like another world compared to where we are right now. Which of course, in many ways, it is.
Be prepared to have any blues blasted away though with every stone lift and tyre flip, and sit back and watch the drama unfold with Danny Wallace and Colin Bryce at the commentary helm. Eddie Hall lifts the mic one this one and goes from strength to strength in his new presenting career.
I edit-produced this episode, and to say it was fun is an understatement. The new workflow and remote editing was an education, but we got there and brought the series opener into port safely enough.
In a previous life I was Series Producer of the Channel 5 version of World’s Strongest Man from 2014 to 2019, and to get the call from Giants Live to dip my toe back into this weird and wonderful world was a pleasure.
More to come on that front...!
