Funny - I like Paddy McG and Crouchy.
For reasons I don't fully understand, Mrs A really likes Paddy.

I have noting against Paddy McGuiness but just think it an off fit. Question of Sport has always been sort of sedate, older viewer material whereas PM seems to be far more focused on the younger, lad culture. Not sure how it iwll work.

I get the impression that the current policies are to introduce alternatives rather than replacements. He would certainly liven it up and take the pressure off the retired sportspeople to try to be funny.
Mrs A has never watched QoS in her life. If he does take over, she'll probably start and she is the personification of sedate middle-age.
I think it always used to be a whole family type show. Maybe they want to push it back that way.

Sam Quek and Ugo Monye are the new captains, will be interested to see if they have the same chemistry as Matt and Tuffers, hard act to follow

QoS hasn't been the same since Bill Beaumont and Emlyn Hughes were captains

I've never heard of the guy and only vaguely heard of the girl. Not exactly household names?

Question of Sport hasn't been the same for me since there was a BBC behind the scenes programme about it. Showed how much of it is scripted and fake - I felt a bit cheated!

Depends on your sport preferences. Ugo played rugby and commentates on it now and is well known in rugby circles and the girl won an Olympic gold at hockey and has been doing quite a bit of presenting since so not exactly unknows. Suspect many had never heard of Tuffers until I'm a Celebrity (Sam Quek did that as well).

Did it not used to be filmed after a big Sunday lunch in the old days and it was not unheard of for guests to be a couple of bottles of wine into it during film

Yes. In Emlyn's day I think.

It was during the Botham era that I heard about it. No suprise there.
If ever there was a programme long past its sell by date it is QoS. Changing captains was a good way to keep it fresh but the current group were there far too long. Let it go, send it out to pasture.

QoS still had on average 4-5 million viewers each week - the appeal is still there for clearly a lot of people , when you have that many viewers certainly not going to cancel it
It’s great entertainment and the current line up was very good - will see how the new lot do , Paddy is a very good presenter , Monye is very good on Rugby programs and podcasts - Quek is marmite
If people still like it then fair enough. Whenever I've caught bits of it in recent times it has been poor imo, too forced. Each to their own.

Sadly could not see the IOC refunding all those global TV and sponsorship payments and to delay another year messes with the Worlds etc. Sadly money dictates that, unless banned by a government, sporting events will go ahead irrespective of how it may impact the fans, competitors or anything else.

Their daily cases going to 2000 a day and they remove spectators etc
Ours keep on rising to over 20 thousand a day and we remove everything and allow even more fans to attend events

Went to see it being filmed a few years ago, was surprising how they did 99% in a straight run through just like you see it on telly. Not much was cut out.
Guests were Carl Froch, Ryan Sidebottom, Mark Allen and.........Oscar Pistorius!
