'''''Question of Sport''''' (known as '''''A Question of Sport''''' until 2021) was a British television sports quiz show produced and broadcast by the [[BBC]].

===Cancellation===
Following the programme producers' decision in 2021 to "refresh" the Question of Sport by introducing a new host (Paddy McGuiness) and revising the structure of the quiz there was an ensuing drop-off in audience figures and, in December 2023, after two series of the revamped production, the BBC announced a decision to "shelve" the programme citing "inflation and funding challenges". The BBC did not rule out a future return of the programme.<ref>{{cite web |title=Question of Sport stops production, BBC confirms|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67731546| date=16 December 2023|publisher=BBC |access-date=16 December 2023}}</ref>

A Question of Sport (known as Question of Sport from 2021 until 2023) is a British television sports quiz show produced and broadcast by the BBC. It was the "world's longest running TV sports quiz".[1] Following a pilot episode in December 1968, broadcast only in the north of England, the series ran from 1970 (except in 1973 and 1978) until production ceased in 2023. The final presenter was Paddy McGuinness, with team captains Sam Quek and Ugo Monye.

The show's viewing figures slumped from around 4 million in 2021 to around 800,000 in 2023 following an overhaul of the staff.[2]

[edit]

A Question of Sport at 50

[edit]

On 27 December 2019, the BBC aired a documentary that looked back on the programme's history. As well as looking back through the archives, A Question of Sport at 50 saw a number of sportspeople recount their memories, these included: Jessica Ennis-Hill, Colin Jackson, and Denise Lewis. Sue Barker, Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell also shared their experiences.

50 Not Out

[edit]

On 3 January 2020, Sue Barker presented a 50th-anniversary special. Matt Dawson captained a team composed of Laura Davies and Beth Tweddle, while Phil Tufnell led Ally McCoist and Martin Offiah. Dawson's team won, the 1,255th episode, by 19 points to 16.

Theme tune

[edit]

There have been four theme tunes over the years. The current theme was introduced in the mid-1980s and has been remixed and updated several times since that time, most recently in 2021.

Cancellation

[edit]

Following the programme producers' decision in 2021 to "refresh" the Question of Sport by introducing a new host (Paddy McGuiness) and revising the structure of the quiz there was an ensuing drop-off in audience figures and, in December 2023, after two series of the revamped production, the BBC announced a decision to "shelve" the programme citing "inflation and funding challenges". The BBC did not rule out a future return of the programme.[4]

Rounds

[edit]

The rounds regularly played during series 48, include:[5]

Picture Board

[edit]

Twelve numbered squares each reveal a sportsperson to be identified during this one-minute round.

One Minute Round

[edit]

Each team is asked nine questions in 60 seconds.

Sports Action

[edit]

Contestants are asked questions about a montage of sporting action.

Observation Round

[edit]

Sports action is shown and contestants are asked questions about details of what they have just seen, e.g. "What colour hat was a certain person wearing?" or "How many balls were there?"

Mystery Guest

[edit]

Each team tries to identify a sportsperson in unfamiliar circumstances and using unconventional camera angles.

Home or Away

[edit]

Each contestant can answer a one-point "home question" on the sport they participate or participated in or can answer an "away question" on a different sport for up to three points—away questions require three answers, a point per correct answer.

Buzzer Round

[edit]

The teams play head-to-head, answering as many questions as possible in 60 seconds. At this point, the round immediately ends, even if each presenter is halfway through asking a question.

Sprint Finish

[edit]

The captains have 60 seconds to act out up to ten sporting terms for the remaining members of the team to guess.

Presenters and captains

[edit]

Presenters

[edit]

The 1968 pilot episode, broadcast only in the north of England, was hosted by Stuart Hall.[6] The first series was broadcast nationally from January 1970, with David Vine at the helm for the first five series. David Coleman succeeded Vine, and remained as presenter until 1997.[7] Vine returned to the series as a guest host in 1989, presenting the final five episodes of series 18 in Coleman's absence.[8][9][10][11][12] Sue Barker presented A Question of Sport from 1997 until 2021. She won the 1976 French Open tennis tournament and reached a World Ranking of 3.[13][14] The final presenter was Paddy McGuinness, who took over in 2021.[15]

Captains

[edit]

A Question of Sport's first captains were boxer Henry Cooper and rugby union player Cliff Morgan. Over the history of the show, some captains have had long tenures: these include rugby union player Bill Beaumont making 319 appearances and footballer Ally McCoist making 363 appearances.[7][16] The show's longest-serving captain is Matt Dawson, who appeared on the show for 17 years from 2004 to 2021.

The final team captains, who began on the show in 2021, were Ugo Monye and Sam Quek. Monye is a former rugby union international, who won 14 caps for England; he played club rugby for Harlequins and also played for the British & Irish Lions. Quek is a former hockey international, who won gold as part of the Great Britain women's national field hockey team at the 2016 Summer Olympics; she was the first female team captain on A Question of Sport.[15]

Captains include:
5 rugby union players:
Cliff Morgan (1970–1972 and 1974–1975), Gareth Edwards (1979–1982), Bill Beaumont (1982–1996), Matt Dawson (2004–2021) and Ugo Monye (2021–2023)

Guest captains

[edit]

Over the years there have been several guest captains standing in for one of the regulars when they have other commitments. Following Ally McCoist's departure, several guests, including Phil Tufnell, sat in the captain's chair before Tufnell was eventually selected as McCoist's permanent replacement:

Roslin also hosted a one-off special, A Question of EastEnders, in 2000. Another one-off special, A Question of Comedy, was to have been aired on 16 March 2007 as a part of Comic Relief 2007, but after a scandal involving contestant Jade Goody it was replaced with a special edition of Top Gear titled Top Gear of the Pops.

A Question of Spit was a short segment aired in 1988 as part of the inaugural Red Nose Day telethon, featuring Daley Thompson, Barry McGuigan and Mike Gatting forming a team, with their opponents being their own Spitting Image puppets, captained by an Emlyn Hughes puppet. The quiz was hosted by the Spitting Image puppet of David Coleman, with the real Coleman and the puppet Steve Davis also making an appearance.

On 21 March 2012, One Media Radio's Final Whistle produced a one-off end-of-year special titled Final Quizzle: Final Whistle does A Question of Sport. Presented by Barry Landy, the show featured two teams consisting of Stuart Hodge, Rory Wilde, Phil Peacock, Steve Sanders, Ben Mouncer and Lewis Davies and included rounds such as 'Tiger's Eighteen Holes' and 'Whelan or Fortune'.

In November 2012, One Media Radio's Head of Sport Edmund Doc Crosthwaite confirmed that Final Quizzle would return for a one-off Christmas special on 12 December 2012.

A Question of Sport Relief is a special version of the show usually presented by a guest presenter on Sport Relief night since 2002. The 2002, 2004 and 2006 versions were hosted by Stephen Fry. 2008's version was hosted by Jimmy Carr after Fry had to withdraw, having broken his arm.

BBC One Scotland aired a one-off A Question of Scotland as part of Children in Need 2008, with Jackie Bird as quizmaster.

The CBBC programme Dick and Dom in da Bungalow made a parody called A Question of Muck as part of the 'creamy muck muck' grand finale game.

The CBBC programme The Saturday Show did a segment called A Question of Busted. Featuring the band Busted answering questions about themselves, it was presented by Fearne Cotton who in each segment was dressed as Sue Barker.

[edit]

The What Happened Next? round was spoofed in an episode of A Bit of Fry & Laurie as David Coleman (Fry) asks Emlyn Hughes (Laurie) to guess what happened after the action stopped in the previous sketch. The host's refusal to confirm whether the given answer is correct then leads into another round of the game, with the question of what happened following the original What Happened Next? sketch.

The show was one of many British TV shows reinterpreted by Chanel 9, a recurring sketch on The Fast Show, where it was titled Questo Sporta and featured the mystery guest round.
