This episode focuses on two events that briefly turned the television into Britain's fireplace. Few people tend to watch curling & rowing, but nothing gets people together such as British Olympic golds.
Our subjects are the women Curlers from the 2002 Winter Olympics, which made Rhona Martin an unlikely star, while we also talk about the day when Matthew Pinsent graduated from rowing's best supporting player to fully-fledged leading man, as Britain took gold in the coxless fours at Athens in 2004 - one of the closest races in Olympic rowing history.
