Tanni Grey-Thompson, Kath Merry, Steve Bunce and Justin Moorhouse join Colin Murray.

Colin Murray acts as judge and jury as Tanni Grey-Thompson, Kath Merry, Steve Bunce and Justin Moorhouse fight for punditry points live in Newcastle.

Paralympic legend Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, former GB athlete and Olympic bronze-medallist Kath Merry, journalist and sports broadcaster Steve Bunce & comedian Justin Moorhouse join Colin Murray for an hour of sporting punditry in front of a live audience at the Tyne Theatre & Opera House in Newcastle. 

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.
