BBC Question of Sport axed

Post by dewaltdisney »

What a bleeding surprise. I stopped watching the show some years ago when I no longer knew any sports competitors having lost interest in most sports in more recent years. In its heyday, it was good entertainment but when the dead hand of the BBC got to work and Sue Barker was canned along with the team captains it sounded the death knell. The old BBC tick box sheet came out: Black Captain, tick, women captain, tick special needs compere, tick. The fact they did not appear to know little about sport and with the boring oaf Paddy McGuiness at the helm it soon foundered. Apparently, the viewing figures fell through the floor which was no surprise at all, just the same as Top Gear. And these w*nkers want another tenner a year for the rubbish they put out. There is hardly anything worth watching on BBC these days, perhaps a few things a week.

i'm not into sports at all, but watched QoS as i like quiz and it was fun lots of chemistry between presenter and captains - watched right up till paddy tookover watched 2 episodes only as 1st episode was rubbish , but thought i would give 1 more try - so really not surprised its shelved
how the BBC does not know what worked - i have no idea, and to put out the rubbish replacement - wasn't funny , and seemed every one was trying to hard - a sure sign its wrong

I like bradley Walsh presenting quiz shows.
