John Rawling, Kath Merry, Dougie Anderson and Bob Mills join Colin Murray live in Lincoln.

Colin Murray acts as judge and jury as John Rawling, Kath Merry, Dougie Anderson and Bob Mills fight for punditry points, live in Lincoln.

Sports commentator John Rawling, former GB athlete and Olympic bronze-medallist Kath Merry, presenter and writer Dougie Anderson & comedian Bob Mills join Colin Murray for an hour of sporting punditry in front of a live audience at The Engine Shed in Lincoln. 

Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for drivel 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.
