With all eyes on the first Ashes test, Bill and Ian are joined by former Australia fast bowling legend Brett Lee.

4. Alastair Campbell: Martin Corry wanted to lay me out
They may not share the same political views (as we soon find out!) but Alastair Cambell does have a lot in common when it comes to his shared love of sport with Beefy and Bill. The 'King of Spin' lifts the lid on what it was like to be a part of the 2005 Lions squad, how Steve Thompson nearly discovered the next Prime Minister before anyone else and an infamous Clive Woodward initiated team-talk that had Martin Corry wanting to 'lay me out'.
