6 part series, episode one aired last night on C4.
Looks at the youngsters who have been taken on by Crystal Palace and who are then put through the paces to see if they have it become a pro. Statistics point to the fact that only 1% will ever make it to the big time, so expect lots of tears as the boys are finally told no.
Despite it looking like a conveyor belt of rejection, the film makers have captured the prospectee's family life and that of the well intentioned Palace coaches.
