Description
Is it ok to have dubious, slightly tyrannical oil-state owners of your club, if it means winning a league cup? Des and Lisa don't think so, although the majority of Totalsport’s callers, like Billy (Alan Davies) don’t seem to mind.  Elsewhere, controversial motivator Alexei Gold (Tom Stourton)  is invited onto the station to plug his new, dubious, protein drink, Jordan Young (Tom Rosenthal) returns with the hottest of takes, and -  not to be outdone on World Record Day -  Des attempts to eat the world’s hottest chilli, inadvertently sports-washing his own reputation in the process. Starring Lolly Adefope, Fergus Craig, Jessica Fostekew & Helen Cripps Also featuring : Alan Davies, Tom Rosenthal, Annie Mcgrath, Tom Stourton, Stewart Laws,  Hayley Ellis, Glen Moore, and Phil Wang Written by Rhys James & Mark G Smith Produced, Engineered and music by Tom Jenkins Executive Produced by Tayo Popoola Directed by Mark G Smith Created by Tayo Popoola A Furious Styles Production, for Keep It Light Media.  Learn more about your ad choices.
