Fighting Talk - Charles Dagnall, Ian Smith, Kath Merry, Paul McNamee
Download Charles Dagnall, Ian Smith, Kath Merry, Paul McNamee
Former cricketer and BBC commentator Charles Dagnall, former GB athlete Kath Merry, The Big Issue editor Paul McNamee and comedian Ian Smith join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment. Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction.
In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds. There can only be one winner!
