I quite like Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and when I saw Extreme Dodgeball on Challenge on Sky, I thought, “Wow, they really do show dodgeball on telly. I wonder what it’s actually like…”

It was one of the weirdest things I’ve seen on TV for quite some time. Mainly because it was so close to the movie; the arena was just as extravagant and American, the teams were just as bizarre (one of them are mimes!), even the presenters are similar (although in the real one they’re both quite sensible). The only disappointing thing is that the umpire isn’t as extravagant (with the ridiculous arm gestures) as in the film…

Try and catch one if you can; it’s just bizarre…
