Summary
Presenter and former GB athlete Jeanette Kwakye, journalist Luke Moore and comedians Alfie Brown and Mark Watson 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!

| 0:58.0 | Across my tenure, there have been baseless accusations of bias, |
| 1:02.0 | both towards and against, panelists that I'm friends with. |
| 1:05.0 | So we thought, okay, let's level the playing field and have a line-up |
