Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer is a British sports comedy panel game show that has airee on BBC One and was first broadcast on 6 June 2020. This eight-part television series was announced by the BBC on 24 March 2020 as a response to the widespread cancellation of public activities in sports, music, and comedy during the time of Coronavirus lockdown in the UK.[1] The programme features Peter Crouch, Maya Jama, and Alex Horne and The Horne Section, and aims to give the British public "a little bit of all the big summer events that have been taken away".[2]
Regular features on the programme include a game of 'VAR' (conducting musical tempo in 'very accurate rhythm' using kick-ups), a guest musician performing a solo 'garden session', a race between Crouch and the 'fast dad' who once beat him at a school sports day, and a closing song to "some of the unsung heroes of the last few months". The series began on Saturday 6 June 2020 at 9:15 pm on BBC One, and includes a range of celebrity guests.[3] It is repeated on Monday evenings and can be viewed on BBC iPlayer.[4]
