5 live Sport reunites the cast and crew of the 1997 rugby film, Living With Lions.

5 live Sport reunites the cast and crew of the 1997 film Living With Lions, which documented that year's British and Irish Lions' tour of South Africa.

It might just be the greatest sports documentary to ever come out of Britain. It is certainly the most quotable and without question the most revelatory. Living With Lions was a fly-on-the-wall story of the 1997 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa, and is the definitive document of a historic tour. 

Inside a previously hidden world, it showed sport as raw, brutal, beautiful and comic. It's been aped many times but never quite matched. Twenty years on, 5 Live brings together the men behind the cameras and those who became unwitting stars. This is the inside story of the ultimate inside story.
