Frank 'El Inglés' Evans is Britain's only professional matador. In 2005, he retired from the sport under doctors' orders to undergo knee replacement surgery and later a quadruple heart bypass.
But last year, Frank announced that he was making a comeback to the bull ring at the tender age of 65.
Clarke follows Frank's progress over three months as he prepares to re-enter the dangerous and controversial world of professional bullfighting.
The son of a Manchester butcher, Frank was inspired to bullfight after reading about 1940s and 50s British matador Vincent Charles Hitchcock. After practising with a cape in a park in Salford, he travelled to Spain to fight his way into bullfighting school and went on to surprise Spanish crowds, confounded at the sight of this sunburnt English bullfighter.
