FRANK SKINNER ON MUHAMMAD ALI, 9PM, BBC1

-

TO MARK the first anniversar­y (on June 3) of Muhammad Ali’s death, this one-off follows Frank Skinner (pictured with Rahman Ali, younger brother of Muhammad) on a personal journey to explore the life of the greatest boxer the world has ever seen. Introduced to Ali’s boxing by his father, the young Frank was hooked and followed his hero through every step of his career, marvelling as Ali punched his way into boxing history by winning 56 of 61 fights. Affectiona­te and insightful, the film is a delightful reminder of the talent and charisma of a modern-day legend.
