1: Hard Man | Grayson Perry: All Man
Grayson plunges into the world of cage-fighting, or Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), in north-east England. As a self-described 'life-long sissy', Grayson has a problem with machismo, but as he spends time with the fighters, many of his expectations about hyper-macho men are overturned. Grayson tries to understand what lies behind this 'hard man' image.
