Taking aim at the circus that surrounds British sport. First, the footballer on Strictly Come Dancing and the “effort face” that comes with being out of their comfort zone, plus the professional partners who do the real work. Next, Manchester City’s 115 charges, a case so slow and complicated that it has become its own sport, with every result sitting under an asterisk nobody can yet read. Last, boxing’s move to the Gulf, where the money has opened up some great fights but raises the question of sportswashing and who the spectacle is really for. The episode closes with three verdicts.
