In the first episode* of AbsoluteLee, former footballer Jason Lee sits down with David Baddiel to discuss the impact of Baddiel’s notorious blackface sketches during 90s show Fantasy Football League, and how it still affects Jason’s life almost three decades later.
This is the first time the pair have come face-to-face in a full and frank conversation, 25 years after Fantasy Football League first aired on the BBC. In the podcast, Jason gives a rare and candid insight into his experience, recounting the impact Baddiel’s weekly racist parodies had on both him and his family.
