Usually brilliant laddish satirical sports quiz show of irrelevance (or should that be irreverence?). Anyway, the team captains are the very posh David Gower and the big-eared crisp-toting Gary Lineker, both aided and abetted by comedians such as Lee Hurst (now Jonathan Ross) and Rory McGrath and either a comic or a sports person. Every week just about all the players get mocked by everyone else which is always funny. And that's it really and very entertaining it is too, all of it not-very-amicably hosted by Mr Hancock. Games include:
Goal Celebrations: Teams try to work out why footballers celebrate the way they do when they scored a particular goal.
Sporting Excuses: Teams try to guess the excuses why a certain team lost at something and usually it's very stupid.
The Injuries Board: A satire of A Question of Sport's Picture board, team captaind pick a number between 1-12 and try to guess how somwthing injured a famous sportsman.
Sing When you're Winning: Teams hear a couple of lines of a terrace song and they have to guess what the rest of it is.
Awful Author: Teams hear an excerpt of a sportsperson's autobiography and they try to guess who it is.
Publicity: Teams see a publicity picture involving a famous sportsperson (or sometimes one of the other team-mates) and they try to guess what they did it for.
The Photo-identity round: Three famous sportspeople's faces are cut up and made into a whole new face and teams try to guess which people make it up. The almalgamed faces are usually quite funny and Rory McGrath ALWAYS goes 'I can't remember her name but I think I've slept with her!' Hilariously.
Sporting Bluff: Each them member tells a story, the other team try to work out which one is the truth.
Electronic Pencil round: Sometimes one of the funniest, a clip is played and then stops and players are asked to draw using their pencils what they think happened next. These included 'guess where the streaker is going to run' and 'guess which way the spit is going to go', usually not what is expected and players often just mess about and draw random objects.
Feel the Sportsman: Brilliant round. Captain and regular comic team-mate are blindfolded and have to guess who the sportsman is by touch alone in 90 seconds. Every week Rory McGrath prays it's Sharron Davies. One week it was her husband...
The Name Game: Regular comic team-mate tries to guess names across to his team-mates but can't say the name or use rhyming clue, "so 'rubbish cricketer, his hair is as white as FLOUR' wouldn't be allowed".
