A Question of Sport (known as Question of Sport between 2021 and 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.

A Question of Sport at 50

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

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

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

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

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

Picture Board

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

One Minute Round

Each team is asked nine questions in 60 seconds.

Sports Action

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

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

Home or Away

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.
