A Question of Sport

I never really liked QoS from the start, thought They Think It's All Over was far superior. I always thought of it as 'Cardigan TV' (no offence, Henry) cosy wallpaper telly for pensioners and the undiscerning. If it was food it would be unseasoned lumpy mashed potato.1

McGuiness is part of the problem. Having a comedian as host confused the whole positioning of the show, as a sports show.
Were the two captains chosen REALLY the best they could find? For such a show you want captains that "general" sports fans (as opposed to hard core ones) have heard of, and ones who have charisma on TV. Monye is quite dull, but also doesn't have the "legend" status of previous QoS Captains from rugby like Dawson, Bill Beaumont and Gareth Edwards.
Sam Quek has more of a personality, but again is a relatively minor sporting figure in terms of her achievements.0 -
I think the term comedian is debatable2

I remember when they had a special talking heads show to celebrate 50 years.
almost every sport star featured from 40 years ago to today, almost every one of them spoke of the honour of the phone call to go on the show.
the last few years have featured a large number of guests that nobody has ever really heard of, who wants to watch that?0 -
I liked it as a kid, but there were only three channels then. Nowadays there's far too many interesting alternatives (like trawling through Charlton Life for hours on end) to give QoS a second glance. The only times I've seen any of it recently have been when channel hopping. I quickly remember that I'm only really interested in a few mainstream sports and that this programme is not for me.IdleHans said:I never really liked QoS from the start, thought They Think It's All Over was far superior.

Not forgetting "Catchpoint", a quiz hosted by PMcG which symbollically featured a load of balls falling from above.(I actually DID forget Catchpoint and had to look it up)0

It’s a tired old format, a bit like a Rod Liddle column, and feels dated compared to A League of their Own, which is a much smarter show0

One of my favourite moments from that series was the Mystery Guest round where blindfolded contestants had to guess who was the mystery sportsperson they were feeling up.shirty5 said:

You reap what you sow.
One week David Gower and his teammate had to identify Sir Richard Hadlee who had onto the set wearing full ermine robes (and probably carrying a cricket bat). Gower and partner couldn't work out who it was before time was up and when he removed his blindfold Gower's first words were:
"You're not a f***ing Lord!"0 -
You'll be shitting yourself when he takes over our first team when Mickey Apples gets ditched/jumps ship.Chizz said:

Stopped watching that youtube video when they claimed that they brought in a 50 year old white man due to wokeness!

There was a lot that was too near the knuckle they had to cut out of the episode that aired, mainly Gower and Lineker calling each other C***S throughout the filming as a running joke
they also had monitors that they wrote answers on, but they broke, so whilst that was being fixed, Lee Hurst (who I had never heard of), just went into a 15 minute mini stand up routine to pass the time.0
