Reported by Alex Millar Drama written by Nick Perry Drama-documentary exploring the highly competitive world of the men's professional football youth system. At top football clubs across the country, floodlights illuminate the latest superstar youngsters from football's production line as they twist defenders inside out and the fans chant their names in unison. But away from the lights, with stories that we rarely hear, are thousands of ‘Lost Boys' rejected on an industrial scale by the football youth system in England. Alex Millar, a journalist who has spent a lot of the last 20 years writing and broadcasting about lesser-known stories from within the footballing universe, takes us on a personal journey through football's youth system. Interwoven with Alex's journey, a fictional drama based on his research, explores the stories of two boys navigating their way through the system and the pressures their friendship comes under. How are the latest footballing gems produced, and at what cost? And, how can football clubs produce tough, elite players - without a tough, elite system? Jack . . . . .

A very special episode today as we interview Alex Millar, world renowned artist. Alex was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and was an elder before leaving, going through a very difficult period until he discovered his real calling. Warning: During our discussion there is mention of suicidal thoughts. Alex talks frankly, and with plenty of humour about his life as a Jehovah's Witness child, growing up and then the crisis that led him out of the organisation. He is now a respected artist and shares his philosophy on life. This was such a privilege and a rare opportunity to talk to such a singular talent. We hope you enjoy is as much as we did.
