Long running BBC quiz show A Question Of Sport has been axed after more than five decades on the air.
The BBC have confirmed that A Question Of Sport has ceased production after fifty three years on the air.
It began in 1970, with David Vine as host, and although the show was not on screens for two years in the 1970s, it had remained in continuous production since 1978.
A Question Of Sport really took off under the stewardship of David Coleman in the 1980s – the 1989 episode featuring Princess Anne as one of the guests got a whopping nineteen million viewers.
Former tennis player Sue Barker then hosted the show for 24 years, before being replaced by Paddy McGuinness in 2021. This was also when the show underwent a significant revamp, with non-sporting celebrities being invited to appear as guests, transforming the show into more of a light entertainment programme.

In the Season 2 opener of Reservation Dogs, the recently ditched Bear is all sorts of mopey. Luckily for us, that means it’s William Knifeman to the rescue!
But before we get to Spirit’s tough (yet absurdly comical) love for Bear, here’s where we left the Rez Dogs: Elora took off to California with Jackie after an argument with Bear; Willie Jack and Cheese decided against leaving the reservation; and Uncle Brownie believed he had the power to stop a tornado that was ripping through the area. (Read a full Season 1 finale recap here.)

You might be too young to remember Wayne Fereday, but if you hang around with older Newcastle fans, or have ever spent any time talking to your dad/uncle/older brother who the worst Newcastle players of all time are, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of him.
He looked the part of a typical ’80s footballer, resplendent with moustache and mullet, but he was massively disappointing. Famously, Emlyn Hughes’ Team Tactix board game claimed that his time over 100m “would have won him a medal in the 1980 Olympic Games” – which seems like an almighty over-exaggeration, but it at least gives some insight into his only selling point.
For want of a better phrase, the former Qpr man was like sh*t off a stick, and could probably complete the 100 in under 11 seconds. The problem was that his pace never really converted to playing ability,...
