THE TALENT

James Haskell

Alex Payne

A SHOW FOR EVERY SCREEN

A multi-channel phenomenon, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, tackles life and the game head on.

It is hosted by England legends James Haskell and Mike Tindall, alongside noted broadcaster Alex Payne, with guests including some of the biggest names across rugby, as well as the wider sporting and pop-cultural realms. It has attracted a cult following due to its rare ability to draw in the core rugby fan while cutting through and engaging a wider audience too.

Such success is due to the show’s USP: the special connection between Alex (Good), James (Bad) and Mike (Rugby), as well as their guests.This connection helps to showcase the personalities and characters of the guests, inside and outside rugby, digging beneath the veneer to unearth real, raw stories.

There is no defining an episode, no silly gimmicks; it’s an intoxicating cocktail of humour, sadness, anger. A rollercoaster of emotions slotted into an hour and a half.
