- "This special features miniaturised action from the Antweight class, fast paced fury with the Featherweights, thrills and spills with the Lightweights, destructive mayhem with the Middleweights and technical superiority with the Walker class. ... If you've previously complained that other weight classes haven't been given due recognition, then this is your opportunity to show us what television has been missing!"
