A Question of Sport

Well here we go again the BBC cannot leave excellent alone - the latest change is a disaster. No longer watch it. Bring back Sue Barker and her great team.

Coleman and Barker were brilliant presenters, knowledgeable about sport and with a great rapport with the captains. Whoever changed the format should be sacked. Why McGuinness? He is utterly hopeless. There is such a choice of talent - Gary Linekar, Gabby Logan, Jonathan Davies, etc. Etc. Etc. So many porting presenters and they choose a comic!

The captains Monye and Quek don't stand a chance and it's a shame.

Hopefully the current production team will be sacked after this series and the show will revert back to it's original format.

We pay our licence fee for this - it really needs sorting.

I've been watching A Question Of Sport since the 1980's, although I don't watch it as much as I did then.

It is a light hearted quiz with two teams consisting of two regular captains and their famous sporting guests.

The rounds include guessing the sports person on the picture board, Home or Away, the popular What Happened Next?, Mystery Guest and the final game being the One Minute Round. Today though, the rounds have changed a lot and some of them I don't understand.

Sue Barker is the current presenter and I remember David Coleman very well with David Vine being the first. The current team captains are Matt Dawson and Ally AcCoist. Past captains include John Parrott, Bill Beaumont, Ian Botham, Willie Carson and the late Emlyn Hughes.

Probably the most memorable episode I remember is the one where Princess Anne was the very special guest on Emlyn's team.

Here we go again, the BBC go and spoil another programme with their 'woke agenda'. Cannot watch the new version. Paddy is poor, and it is missing the camaraderie of the old team.

A typically British show that has been running over 36 years but still manages to pull in decent viewing figures. Many team captains have come and gone during the years but the programme's successful format hasn't changed too much.

However, changing times have been reflected in recent years in the saucy banter between hostess Sue Barker and latest team captains, Matt Dawson and Ally McCoist. AQoS is less serious than in its early days but none the worse for that.

It's a real shame that the recording of the very first episode, a real piece of television history, has been lost by the BBC. Broadcast on Jan 5 1970, that episode was tinged with tragedy as the only female panelist, champion athlete Lillian Board, was to die of cancer later that year, aged only 22.
