Summary

Broadcaster Dougie Anderson, former GB badminton player Gail Emms, and comedians Bob Mills and 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 2025 Fighting Talk Champion.
