EP6: Sportswashing
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.

EP2 - Transfers
Lisa (Lolly Adefope) and Des (Fergus Craig) prepare themselves for the transfer window SLAMMING SHUT, by inviting self-styled transfer guru Simon Steel (Edward Easton) onto Totalsport FM. Tired of his made-up rumours, the hosts take it upon themselves to set him up and prove he is talking nonsense.
