A Question of Sport

After entertaining millions of viewers every week, BBC ONE's A Question of Sport is to embark on its first ever live stage tour to celebrate a staggering 40 years on air. The UK’s longest running and most popular sports quiz will embark upon a UK tour across all major cities, including the Echo Arena on Friday 5 November.

The specially staged live show largely follows the small-screen format, but also becomes interactive in a thrilling live environment. Fans of the show will be able to see their favourite rounds up close and personal for the first time ever from the 'Picture Board' to 'Mystery Guest' to 'What Happened Next'.

Translating the TV show into theatre setting will also allow the team to add some exciting new twists and surprises to the show. Audience members will be able to participate in the shows, directly posing questions to the teams and getting involved in some of the rounds. Working outside the confines of a TV studio will also allow for more physical challenges including exhilarating live sporting contests between teams.

Presenter Sue Barker will be keeping order for each show on the tour along with resident team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell, who will be joined by two stars from the world of sport. The two sporting panellists on Matt and Phil’s teams will change in each city and will have a strong regional connection. The sporting celebrities for each date will be announced shortly...
