Summary

Former England rugby player Martin Bayfield, presenter Holly Hamilton, The Big Issue Editor Paul McNamee and comedian Danny McLoughlin join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment in the end of season Champion of Champions show. 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. Tune in to hear who will be crowned the 2024 Fighting Talk Champion.
