Comedy - Fighting talk

@ bbc.co.uk

Fighting talk is a comedy programme on BBC Radio Five Live. It describes itself as

"A razor-sharp breakdown of all that’s happening in the volatile world of sport.

Sony Gold award winner Christian O'Connell, acts as ringmaster - or referee - over a panel of experts from around the world trying to stick their oar in and put their spin on events.

Christian gives points for informed comments but penalises any witless outbursts.".

An hour long programme broadcast at 11.00 on saturday mornings, this week it was hilarious. Lawrie McMenemy says of Robbie Savages' intelligence "last week he went out and bought 2 books, fair play to the lad, he's coloured one of them on already". :-D

If you've an hour to spare! There's a button to click near the top of the page to listen to the latest edition of Fighting Talk.

There's also a poll to vote for the best sports commentator ever.
