What The Factual? Series 2 - Episode 10 - The Olympic Games

  • サマリー

  • Gill is very secretive about where she is off to this week but we coax it out of her and it turns out it's Paris! To celebrate, Pete and Gill look into the very long and varied history of the Olympic Games and a few of the forgotten events that once were part of the sporting festival... some of which they want back, but some are probably best consigned to history.

    Gill also reports from Paris and sends us her take on how the Games are shaping up.

    Pete gets tangled up a bit with telling Holland and The Netherlands apart and there is some (only a bit) talk of naked wrestling.

    No Pigeons were harmed in the making of this podcast... The same cannot be said of the 1900 Paris Olympics.
