Alan Johnson, Gail Emms, Dougie Anderson and Iain Stirling join Colin Murray.

Colin Murray acts as judge and jury as Alan Johnson, Gail Emms, Dougie Anderson and Iain Stirling fight for punditry points whilst discussing the sporting stories of the week.

Former Home Secretary and broadcaster Alan Johnson, Olympic silver badminton medalist Gail Emms, broadcaster Dougie Anderson and comedian Iain Stirling join Colin Murray for an hour of sporting punditry & humour.

Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for utter 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!
