Bbc Fighting Talk Podcast
Its first series was broadcast in October 2003, presented. The second series was presented. The current and longest-serving presenter has been, who took charge between 2006 and 2013 and returned to the show for the 2016/17 season after his departure from. The show is broadcast on Saturday mornings for an hour between 1100 and 1200. The show has twice won Gold in the sports programme category; in 2006 and 2011. For the latter, judges described the show as 'like a modern version of old-fashioned '.
Contents. Format The host chairs the show where four guest are invited to expound in turn, preferably with wit and knowledge, their views and opinions on a series of topical sporting events.
Most sports are thrown into the fray but there is a strong emphasis on football and other sports covered by the British news media. The penultimate discussion topic on the show is known as 'Any Other Business' where the guests are given the opportunity to talk about anything they wish, and encouraged to comment on topics or issues that have irked, annoyed or incensed them in past week, regardless of relevance to sport.
Listener participation The programme is interspersed with 'listeners' ' – listeners are asked to submit answers to one of the questions posed to the panel (normally question two) by e-mail or text message. During the course of the show, the presenter reads out the 'best' responses, with the most entertaining answers being read out the following week. Homework questions often involve likening sports people to objects, animals or concepts: for example, 'If footballers were houses, what would they be?' Prizes were introduced to encourage respondents; in the first series, the prize for the best entry was a 'soundbite' recording of a commentator or sportsman — being a brief piece of sporting commentary involving the winning respondent or recollections of the respondent's sporting prowess (both fictional). Contributors included, and Jonathan Pearce. In keeping with the Park incident (see below), the results of this competition have been rigged on occasion — for example, Giles Boden (writer — see below) is a previous 'winner'; his prize was a soundbite recorded for him by the former Chelsea manager. During the second series, a tangible prize was introduced in the form of a Fighting Talk – and as an added incentive, listeners were offered the chance to appear as guest pundits.
Jim Thane was the first listener to be invited to compete live on the show, appearing in series two with Steve Bunce, and. Richard Seymour was the second guest listener, appearing in the third series with Steve Bunce, Bob Mills and.
During the fourth series, Christopher Briggs joined a panel consisting of Will Buckley, John Rawling and Bob Mills. Prizes were suspended during series 5 due to the BBC's blanket ban on hosting phone-in competitions, which came as a result of various phone-in and interactive voting scandals.
Listeners were still encouraged to text and e-mail in answers by the presenter, immediately followed by a sarcastic remark from Colin Murray about, one of the BBC's programmes. When considered in the context of the arbitrary nature of the show's scoring systems, the suspension seems somewhat ironic, particularly given that presenter corruption is tolerated to the point of being encouraged. As of 19 September 2009 the listeners have been asked to submit a question, rather than answer the set question. The listener who is selected to pose the question is also given the power to award two bonus points to any panellist of his or her choice. Defend the Indefensible In order to decide the week’s ultimate winner the two highest scoring pundits are invited to 'Defend the Indefensible'. Each pundit is called to vigorously support a topical theme for twenty seconds that is either distasteful, plainly wrong, self-derisory or entirely contrary to the pundit's known opinions.
Previous examples of defending the indefensible include 'I’d gladly drink a pint of ’s fat for '; ' has been cheapened now and ladies have jumped on the ' and 'I believe the should take place in '. BBC — Press Office. 29 September 2003.
