A Question of Sport

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.

Awful now, not worth watching. In its day, with Sue Barker & Phil ect it was enjoyable viewing for years, until the BBC changed it for box tickers.

Please, please give the answers to the questions......not helpful if the team member gets it wrong and then we are not given the answer.... Paddy nil points.... Sue 10/10.

Do better or else switch off.

Used to be good then they put paddy mcguinness as host, it now has no chemistry and is a very boring show. No idea why they got rid of the old line ups, matt and Phil were far better captains than the new 2.

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.
