Quickly Kevin: S03 EP03 - 'Sweeper!' by Steve Bruce with Ivo Graham (Part 1 of 2)

In a special double episode, it's the much anticipated return of comedian Ivo Graham to discuss the second book in Steve Bruce's literary canon, 'Sweeper!'.

If you haven't already listened to the first appearance in Series 1 of 'Quickly Kevin...' we recommend you do that now, and for those of you who have, rest assured as old favourites the Jaguar XJ8, a questionable attitude to gender equality, and the trademark leaden prose all return.

Along with some fascinating new ruminations on tripe, attacking full backs, and the most sexually charged dialogue since Bogart and Bacall first shared the screen, as Bruce's alter ego, football manager turned reluctant detective Steve Barnes, crosses paths with a gun toting femme-fatal in a clumsily plotted sequel we'll generously describe as barely comprehensible.

All this and the usual correspondence, brand new features (because that's exactly what the show needs) and the end of episode 90's Football based quiz. Enjoy!
