Like, man, you did with Ryan Giggs that time.

But they brought in Des Lynam, who was kind of the Giro Julio of it all.

It went to shit.

JohnstonHOST
Des Lynam said on commentary, nobody has hurt Tyson before, but Bruno did.
JohnstonHOST
Ian Dart went on to say that what an opening round this is.

Ariane Sherine JuniperGUEST
I only won two and I went out on the next one, but they liked me.
Ariane Sherine JuniperGUEST
So they brought me back to be a kind of decoy contestant to audition Noel Edmonds, Richard Dijans and Des Lynham.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ariane Sherine JuniperGUEST
So I stayed in touch.
Ariane Sherine JuniperGUEST
He's right.
Ariane Sherine JuniperGUEST
He is clearly right.
Ariane Sherine JuniperGUEST
But yeah, I started writing for Des Lynham and Carol Vorderman, and I wrote a riddle about Des Lynham's moustache.
Ariane Sherine JuniperGUEST
for Carol Vorderman to read out because she wanted to do more of the presenting.
Mark JenkinGUEST
It was, like, midweek Match of the Day or whatever.
Mark JenkinGUEST
And I remember it was momentous 'cause of that night, and I remember it's, like, being hosted by Des Lynam or somebody, and the program started and he said to me, "Now, before we watch the highlights tonight, something awful has happened at a football stadium." It was, like, really [laughs] sort of serious.
Mark JenkinGUEST
And we're like, "Oh my God, what's happened?" And then, you know, they showed the Cantona thing, and we just ...
Mark JenkinGUEST
'Cause we were that age, just thought it was absolutely hilarious.
EddyHOST
No, no.
EddyHOST
That went with Des Lynam, didn't it? Did it? What, late 90s? Early 90s? Late...

17 Laws GuyHOST
The program evolves quickly.
17 Laws GuyHOST
More than one match, a studio, caller, action replays, John Motsen, Barry Davies, Jimmy Hill, Des Lynam, and eventually Gary Lineker.
17 Laws GuyHOST
And in 1970 comes Barry Stroller's theme, the tune that somehow sounds like Saturday night, even if you hear it on a Tuesday morning.
17 Laws GuyHOST
Britain is not alone.
John BassHOST
...
John BassHOST
Des Lynam left it, mate.
RickyHOST
[laughs]
John BassHOST
Crap.
Chris BarberGUEST
I agree.
Chris BarberGUEST
I think there's been quite a lot of criticism I've seen in sort of a lot of coverage of those two signings and yeah, there's a little bit of him, I think, saying, "I want some lads who've heard of Des Lynam," and they've gone, "That's fine.
Chris BarberGUEST
Here's, here's a couple of them." But at the same time, I think it, it, the, the bit, the most frustrating thing about Chelsea recently was the most obvious thing they needed was, was the thing they just weren't doing.
Chris BarberGUEST
Everyone was bang on.
