Josh Widdicombe hosts a special Olympic edition of Fighting Talk as Gail Emms, Iwan Thomas, Paul Sinha and Rick Edwards try to win points for their punditry.
Fighting Talk Goes Olympic.
Josh Widdicombe takes Fighting Talk out of the radio studio and into the Soho Theatre for a special programme recorded in front of an audience. Josh plays host as his panellists aim to gain points for punditry whilst discussing all things Olympic to celebrate the 2016 Rio Games. Topics up for contention include; greatest Olympic rivalries, best Olympic sporting bodies and we find out about some rather peculiar events from previous games.
Josh awards points for informed comment, passion and humour but takes them away for any nonsense or drivel. The two highest scoring panellists go head to head to 'defend the indefensible', where they are forced to defend a downright distasteful statement for twenty seconds.
Joining Josh is Badminton Olympic Silver medallist from the 2004 Athens games Gail Emms, Olympic viewer and presenter Rick Edwards, 4x100 relay Silver Olympic medallist from the 1996 Atlanta games Iwan Thomas and Olympic fanatic and comedian Paul Sinha.
