Freddie - The official Andrew Flintoff DVD

England's Ashes triumph was, without doubt, a team effort but the team was built around one man: Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff. He was their heartbeat while batting, bowling, fielding and celebrating. This DVD looks back over his Ashes series and is another remarkable effort of stamina from the allrounder - it was filmed the day after those bleary-eyed scenes at Trafalgar Square.

Simon Hughes guides Flintoff through the series from inside The Oval dressing rooms - if those walls could talk they would have a few stories to tell, but Flintoff finds plenty of his own. The DVD is split into two main sections; the Test-by-Test account of the series - which still gets you biting fingernails - then Flintoff's pick of his favourite players, including Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Viv Richards. The second part does feel slightly tagged on, however it is a great opportunity to reel out classic footage of great players in their pomp. It is always worth watching for the scenes of Flintoff batting and bowling against Hughes on The Oval outfield

Flintoff recollections of each Test are honest and entertaining. From the disappointments of Lord's where the expectation got to England, the epic finish at Edgbaston, the near-miss at Old Trafford, epic finish take two at Trent Bridge and the crowing moment at The Oval. After the drubbing at Lord's Flintoff escaped to Bovey Castle in Devon with his family after admitting he got too tied up in all the hype. He returned for Edgbaston ready to express himself - and boy he didn't disappoint.

He says the first day at Edgbaston - when England raced to 407 all out in 79 overs - was the most extraordinary period of Test cricket he'd played before revealing that, with Australia needing about 20 in the last day, he turned to Marcus Trescothick in disbelief that they might get the runs. They didn't and England and Flintoff's summer took off.

One of his best stories is about the final day at Old Trafford, his home ground, when he was forced to drive the wrong way up a street to get past the huge crowds that were trying to get to the ground. He was lectured by a policeman and told: "There are people just as important as you who want to get in." Around 20,000 people were eventually locked out and Flintoff dryly says: "Usually we try to lock them in for the four-day [Championship] games."

Even though Flintoff played such a huge role he is always quick to give credit to his team-mates during their moments of glory, such as Kevin Pietersen at The Oval and the stand between Ashley Giles and Matthew Hoggard at Trent Bridge.

Flintoff's dry sense of humour and obvious enjoyment of his cricket make this DVD a great way to relive an amazing series. It doesn't matter how many times you watch him launch Brett Lee out of Edgbaston or run through Australia at The Oval; it still brings a smile to your face.
