A Question of Sport host Sue Barker is leaving the BBC quiz show after 24 years, as part of a major shake-up at the programme.
The former professional tennis player said she was "sad to say goodbye" to her "dream job".
Team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell will also depart the long-running sports quiz show.

That team was fine as it was. Another BBC cockup?

I never watch it Al. Haven't done for years. It seems a tired old format these days.

I stopped watching when Barker took over, couldn’t stand her!

Each one to his own.

Haven’t watched Question of Sport for at least 35 years . From memory David Coleman was the host and Emlyn Hughes was one of the captains last time I saw it

Anyone remember Quiz Ball ?

BBC One - Quiz Ball

Quiz show featuring two teams of four representing an English or Scottish football team.

Was Emlynn Hughes on with that intensely aggravating little jockey Willie Carson? I recall Cliff Morgan being one of the first Captains and that's about it.

Beefy and Bill Beaumont?

I'd forgotten Bill. I seem to think he was on with Cliff Morgan.
