The Blagger's Guide to the Games

BBC Radio 2 - Blaggers Guide, The Blagger's Guide to the Games, Episode 3

David Quantick turns his attention to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, ski ballet and more.

On the irreverent Mr Quantick's agenda this week, the 1936 Berlin Olympics and why pigeon shooting and ski ballet were swiped off the event calendar.

David Quantick's wonderfully irreverent series returns to give the 2012 Games the full Blagger's treatment. 

On the agenda this week, we'll be tackling subjects such as the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The heady days when athletes were lucky enough to be offered...nope, not a medal, not even a certificate but a little acorn as a gift in recognition of taking part. Thanks, indeed.

Also, find out why Britain might find itself a few eggs short of a quiche this summer, and why pigeon shooting and ski ballet were swiped off the event calendar.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
