2.12 - Sport
Andy and Olly are back this week with Sport the main topic. Given that Andy knows the square root of f*** all about sport, you'd think there wasn't much to talk about - how wrong you would be! Football, Cricket and the Olympics all get the caustic treatment from Andy and there's tribute paid to the late David Coleman for his legendary 'Colemanballs' commentating cock-ups. Andy also talks about linguistic garnish and attacks paint manufacturers for their ridiculously named colours. There's correspondence from Johnny Depp and Chief Red Cloud, both incensed with Episode 2.8 (Adverts & Commercials), plus there's a new musical segment. What more could you possibly want?
