[Other Sport] A Question of Sport

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Well that was crap

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

I guess they want to appeal to a younger audience? The old stagers had been doing it for years and are all getting on a bit. I wonder if the newbies will have the same chemistry, which was a big part of the attraction to me. Always wanted Tuffers to win though.

Younger audience on a Friday night

Bit of an own goal that

I don't think anyone under the age of 25 actually watches TV anymore

Just man up, FFS! It can't be half as bad a ruination and abomination as inflicting Anne Robinson on to Countdown viewers!

Be fair, if they wanted to find someone to make the clock seem animated they absolutely nailed it

If they wanted to nail anything, they should have replaced the clock with a f***in' cross! Ghastly woman. I now have to watch Countdown on delay/record, with my finger on the fast forward button!

Well that was crap

I suffered it for 10 minutes, wondering if the new format is really so different, decided it wasn’t. So I switched channels to avoid being embarrassed at my general lack of sporting knowledge and then realised that’s what I’ve done every time I’ve watched the damn show.

 

[McTavish]

What sport has big mouth Paddy McGuinness ever played? Since the programme began every presenter and team captain has been an A List sporting figure.

What sports were David Coleman and David Vine A-listers in?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

What sports were David Coleman and David Vine A-listers in?

He said A-list sporting figures, Vine and Coleman were two of the biggest names in sports commentary/presenting long before they got the QOS gig. Paddy should be thankful he was Peter Kay’s mate.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Missed it and therefore missed Sam Quek.

Gutted.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I stopped watching it in 1990. It was old, tired and crap then, and clearly hasn't got any better.

[crodonilson]

Quek is brilliant value, Monte is good and BAME to boot which is a bonus, quite why they chose McGuinness instead of a sportswoman/BAME is bizarre but in his performance so far I'll give him one series before he's replaced by Scott.

 

[The aloof gatekeeper]

Ugo Monye will be good too, he speaks very intelligently on rugby and has very good sports knowledge.

Scottish football a bit of a blind spot, though.

 

[crodonilson]

So sad to hear QoS is finishing on the beeb. A wonderful show and the latest incumbents McGuinness, Money and Quek have bought it into the 21st century and much more representative of the country, as well as being absolutely hilarious.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Beaumont v Carson/Crazy Horse /Beefy.

Thems were the days.

 

[carlzeiss]

Heartbreaking news and just before Christmas as well , could the BBC not have kept this quite for a couple more weeks

No, no, no. I think you’ve got that all wrong. The demise of QoS is in fact the fault of the latest talentless incumbents that you name, as well as their producers and directors. They should all be ashamed of themselves. The show is being cancelled because it is rubbish…..in my opinion of course.

Anyone could see this coming when the BBC changed the format and got rid of its big names and chemistry in Sue, Matt and Tuffers.

Attempting to appeal to a new audience, it moved too far away from its core viewership, alienated them and lost them for good.

With falling numbers, one might think that the unfocused Football Focus is in danger of going the same way.

When celebrity is either mistaken for talent or prized over it, quality suffers.

Not all change is good.

There's some real talentless idiots at the BBC, mostly in the "think tank" roles.

I think it had to change, QoS's regular captains and presenter line up, and it's audience was too white and too old.
