Five to revive 'Superstars' sports compI used to love this but i cant see it being the same again nono.gif
Five is bringing back sport competition series Superstars.
The contest show was a hit in the 1970s and was briefly revived by BBC One in 2003.
This summer, Five will air eight hour-long shows with sportsmen competing in four teams. The four captains will be five-times Olympic champion Sir Steve Redgrave, double-Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes, Olympic silver medallist Roger Black and Olympic gold medallist Darren Campbell.
Former Premier League referee Graham Poll will oversee the competition, while those lined up to compete include footballers Lee Sharpe and Roberto Di Matteo, cricketer Graham Thorpe and rugby player Mike Catt.
Events will include gym tests, tug of war, beat the keeper, indoor speed climbing and diving.
Robert Charles, Five's sport controller, said: "Superstars has a unique place in TV history and we are delighted to be able to bring the concept back to the screens, albeit as a team event which we think will make great viewing as the different personalities come to life over the eight programmes.
"The athletes that we’ve managed to attract are from the very top of their respective sports so you can bet on it being compelling television and very, very competitive.”
