I Am Darren
Sports mockumentary about GB Paralympian Darren Silverstone, who stole the hearts of a nation before his infamous chokey-o in Tokyo. For the first time, probably, he tells his story.
Sports mockumentary about GB Paralympian Darren Silverstone, who stole the hearts of a nation before his infamous chokey-o in Tokyo. For the first time, he tells his story - and starts his glorious comeback.
In Tokyo 2020, Darren Silverstone was the Paras GB poster boy. (He was on yoghurts, too.) He cruised to the final and charmed the nation along the way with his signature dance move, the dazzle. But as he took that final bend ready to take gold, Silverstone lost his head and celebrated too soon - and in the process, became a national figure of fun.
His subsequent journey in the public eye brought approval and consternation in equal measure: from those unforgettably self-deprecating betting adverts to his turn on The Masked Singer as Breadbin. Darren鈥檚 best friend and pilot rider in Tokyo, little Paul Potter, was never seen again in the public eye. The two haven鈥檛 spoken since.
And now, Silverstone鈥檚 back. Ready to take to the tandem at Paris 2024. But is he ready? Who will he be riding with? This is I Am Darren.
