A Question of Sport's first captains were boxer Henry Cooper and rugby player Cliff Morgan. The longest serving included rugby player Bill Beaumont making 319 appearances and footballer Ally McCoist making 363. The record is held by rugby player Matt Dawson who appeared in the show for 17 years from 2004 to 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) The first presenter was the disgraced peodophile Stuart Hall who hosted a pilot of the show in 1968, a few years before the regular show. Presumably on the back of his fronting It's a Knockout with Eddy Waring. I am hoping that the ghastly Paddy McGuiness now gets to host one or more of the many "reality tv" shows that have spread across prime time television and starts getting them shut down. Having watched Question of Sport for 50 years I could only watch (or rather listen to) 5 minutes of Paddy Edited December 16, 2023 by Francis Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Used to watch it all the time, years ago. Genuinely didn’t even know it was still on. I definitely wouldn’t watch now, especially if it’s that bell-end McGuinness that’s presenting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit that ruined it for me was when they showed some behind the scenes thing (can't remember when but Sue Barker years and after Chocolate Sally's time as a captain) and you saw just how over produced it had become with team captain's/guests being fed hints/reshooting answers to questions etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
