THE ENGLISH PREMIER League football season is over but for Harchester United it is only just beginning.
Tonight ESPN STAR Sports presents the first episode of Dream Team - a football drama series that follows the ups and downs of a club playing in England's money-spinning top-flight league.
But the half-hour daily television show is not just for football addicts.
Off the field matters get as much attention, with plenty of non-sporting drama woven into the plot. Issues of love, lust, friendship, hatred and betrayal all simmer.
'Dream Team takes sports programming to another level,' said Wayne Becker, of ESPN STAR.
'We're offering a creative perspective into the off-the-field drama and intrigue of football.'
Main characters include ruthless club chairman Jerry Block, notorious for his underhand business tactics but devoted to his headstrong wife, Lynda, who loves the glamorous and high-profile lifestyle. So much so, in fact, that she can't resist a fling with good-looking and flamboyant Argentinian World Cup star Luis Rodriguez.
