Episode 1

Mark Clemmit launches BBC1's Late Kick Off, an insightful weekly look behind the scenes at the North East's five Football League clubs and their fixtures. From the very top of the Championship, right through to the very bottom of League Two, Mark will be delving into the region's most important football stories, and helping him every week will be former England and Boro star Danny Mills.

There's a chance to watch the highlights from the top of the table clash between Newcastle and West Bromwich Albion, plus some insider insight in the studio from North East footballing legend Steve Stone. We'll be looking at what it's like to be a lifelong fan of the region's Dead Club Walking, as Darlington slip closer to their non-league destiny; and of course Mark will make sure you get all the latest news and gossip from Hartlepool, Carlisle and Middlesbrough.

For fun we'll have an Archive Top 5 featuring the worst haircuts ever sported by North East footballers, and Hartlepool players will be taking our very own training ground challenge. Late Kick Off with Mark Clemmit - expect much more than just highlights!
