New Michael Jordan documentary miniseries 'The Last Dance' seems to have succeeded in capturing the imagination of sport fans everywhere.

The programme focuses on one of the great sporting superstars of all-time and the iconic Phil Jackson Chicago Bulls team of the 1990s - which also featured the likes of Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen - during their eventful and often fractious run to a sixth NBA title in eight years during the 1997-98 season.

It was Jordan's last campaign with the franchise that culminated in a second successive finals win over the Utah Jazz.

Episodes one and two of The Last Dance premiered in the United States on April 19 and predictably set social media abuzz, with episodes three and four then arriving seven days later.

However, fans in the UK are having to wait just a little bit longer to see the latest episodes...
