Kath Merry, Thom Gibbs, Rickie Haywood-Williams and Josh James fight for punditry points whilst discussing the world of sport with Rick Edwards.

Commentator and former GB athlete Kath Merry, sports journalist Thom Gibbs, presenter Rickie Haywood-Williams and comedian Josh James 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!
