After the streak, Mark faces a Houston jail cell and a Texas jury, while a 鈥渨ardrobe malfunction鈥 spirals into a national scandal.

The streak is over but the chaos is just beginning.

Mark Roberts has danced naked at the centre of the Super Bowl, been tackled by an NFL linebacker, and carried off the field. What he doesn鈥檛 realise is that minutes earlier, a 鈥渨ardrobe malfunction鈥 at halftime has triggered a media storm that might well dwarf his moment.

While Mark sits in a crowded Houston holding cell 鈥 still in his Velcro referee uniform 鈥 halftime producer Salli Frattini is hauled up to the NFL commissioner鈥檚 box to explain what just happened live to 100 million viewers. Janet Jackson has vanished. Justin Timberlake is apologising. And the NFL is in crisis mode.

Hours later, Mark is charged with criminal trespass and released on bail 鈥 buzzing from the streak, but now facing a very real Texas trial.

What follows is a courtroom drama broadcast on Court TV and the very real threat of six months in a Texas prison for Mark. Hard to see how he can blag his way out of this one.

As Mark鈥檚 legal fate unfolds, the fallout from halftime spirals: complaints flood in, careers are damaged, and senior figures begin to question their roles.

Back in Liverpool, Mark rides the wave of fame 鈥 then slowly steps back as nothing can ever top the Super Bowl. Twenty years later, a diagnosis forces him to confront a harder question: not can he streak again, but should he?

After three decades of running naked toward the spotlight, is the Streaker King finally ready to stop鈥 or will there be another temptation he just can鈥檛 resist.
