IF YOU WERE lucky enough to have access to Sky One back in the day, there’s a good chance you came across the most ridiculous TV show of its era: Dream Team.
A cross between The Bill, Footballer’s Wives and some sort of low budget murder mystery, Dream Team was a weekly dose of the ludicrous every Sunday night.
And this was the cast of characters (who, frankly, should never have moved to Harchester because it seemed to have the highest murder rate in the world in the late ’90s):
1. Luis Amor Rodriguez
His awful Argentinian accent was a character highlight.
2. Lynda Block
The dramatic heartbeat of Dream Team – and survivor of 48 attempts on her life (probably).
3. Jerry Block
Casually tried to assassinate the best player on the team. As you do.
4. Karl Fletcher
5. Abi Fletcher
Our token Irish character.
Abi met Karl when he was recovering from a bus crash (obviously) and their romance blossomed from there.
She might have involved in various hostage scenarios too, because Dream Team.
6. Tash Parker
One half of the major glam couple in Dream Team, along with…
7. Jamie Parker
Jamie got killed when a SWAT team stormed the team’s dressing room.
Seriously.
8. Scott Lucas
A Harchester legend.
Managed to avoid serious injury/death during his time on the show – and for that he’s a walking miracle.
9. Dean Hocknell
10. The lad who tried to assassinate the star player for some reason
Ah, Dream Team.
11. The bus that the team inevitably crash in
What a character.
12. John Black
Tragically taken out in the great Wembley assassination of the late ’90s.
13. Lizzie Conlan
Bringing that necessary Scottish accent to the mix.
14. Claudia Irving
15. Sean Hocknell
He looked like he could – and should – have been a member of Oasis in the early ’90s.

All these title belts…seriously!
There are too many organisations and therefore too many world titles in each division. However, you need lower tier titles such as this too to give the younger/less proven fighters a stepping stone. This and the domestic/continental titles are along the lines of an MMA fighter winning a cage warriors title on their way to hopefully winning a UFC world title.
Thanks for the report and upload. Enjoyable watch.
Fair play, what’s the difference between an international and world title?
@Kie Ran: That belt effectively means absolutely nothing however may simply get him a higher ranking with the WBC. They have their world champion as the WBC holder, then comes the WBC silver belt, then the WBC international belt and then comes this one, the WBC international silver belt. Each is merely for ranking points really. Its just bad journalism that the 42 are saying that there is any real relevance to this belt. They even said he was a super featherweight, he is a super flyweight.
Face looks like that after fighting a guy with a 22 fights and 10 losses and only 6 kos. Didnt see the fight but usually such a close points win for the home fighter is dodgy scoring, sspecially as he was knocked out as well.
