Fighting Talk: 2016 Summer Specials - Fighting Talk Goes Olympic - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Further details

Fighting Talk, the cult weekly sports comedy show, joins in the celebrations for Rio 2016 with an Olympics special. 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 Widdicombe 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.

The show has also been filmed and is available on the BBC iPlayer website
