James Corden's latest strip

This article is more than 14 years old

This Sky1 promo looks like a paean to a football champion, as normally seen in commercials for the likes of Nike and Adidas. But look closer, isn't that TV's James Corden? Being a bit rubbish? The Gavin & Stacey star has donned a football strip to promote his new comedy panel show, A League of their Own, which kicks off in March on Sky1. The 60-second promo, in which chaos ensues after Corden shanks a penalty kick into a studio light and sets the place on fire, was overseen by Sky Creative's Rafaela Perera. Corden's creative partner Ben Winston directed the clip, while August Jakobsson was director of photography. Jamie Redknapp and Andrew Flintoff will be the team captains, while Corden will be the referee and host. All Monkey's favourites are due to appear on the show: Jimmy Carr, Claudia Winkleman, even Dara O'Briain. The teams will tackle questions like which footballers spent the most on their weddings? Can you arrange David James' haircuts in chronological order? Corden says: "We've got two brilliant team captains in Andrew Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp, so the banter is going to be great." Hopefully better than that press release quote though, eh Corders?
