Summary

Musician Felix White, presenter Holly Hamilton, BBC Radio Manchester host Joe McGrath, and comedian Danny Mcloughlin 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!
