As promised last episode, the boys begin this one by presenting their top three favourite biscuits of all time. Some of the wildcards (especially a ludicrous pick from Producer Frae) will be sure to shock you. There’s a long overdue follow up on the lack of personalities in tennis, before a delve into the sport with almost too much personality to handle - rugby league football.
