Theregulars Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'm currently doing a bit of work for BBC in production for Question of Sport - we're trying to knock about some ideas for a new round for next season. The main brief is to try and get preseters doing something active in-studio or to get guests more involved, but open to any suggestions. Obviously if anyone comes up with any gems that we all like you'd be credited/probably be a good way to get a foot in at the Beeb if you're interested in working in sports/entertainment production. If you have any ideas fire away... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Penalty shootout - the team captains both pick someone from the audience to be their goalie, then questions are asked by Sue to the teams on the buzzer - team that gets the question right can take a penalty against the other teams keeper for an extra point or something? Along those lines anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 A quick round of video game sport, ie Sue Barker playing tennis vs a guest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Go back to old school, the one minute round. The new rounds are invariably shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along those lines anyway. Pilko - that's a good shout. What do you reckon about developing this idea to a different sport each week? Say each week it's a different sport, the remaining guests on each team answer questions on the buzzer, and then each captain gets their chance to take a penalty (I'd say get in a celebrity keeper, or maybe captains shoot and keep, but audience might also work), or chip a golf ball into different nets, like on doubling the point, one tripling etc., or have a bowl at some stumps with more points for middle, throw at a specialised dartboard with different amounts of points (like just a circular one with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or something)... keeps it fresh for a series, can probably do quite a lot with it.

Could easily stretch it to bowling, skittles, a golf putt or virtual shot, basketball shot, shot at a bullseye or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 A new twist on the "Who Am I?" round. Essentially, someone picks an infinitely obscure player who only a few people would have heard of let alone recognise, give various cryptic facts about them, whilst the people who are that bothered about finding out who they are, furiously search Wikipedia and the such for clues as to the player's identity.

Frazzle Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Who am I? But you can only look a the genitals of the mystery guest. New captains Ashley Cole and Graeme Le Saux, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lankybellwipe Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 If you ask me, this show bit the dust with Hughes and Coleman. Be honest with the gys at the beeb, and say Bin it, then suggest they buy the rights to 321 and get Joe Pasquale to present it, because Ted Rogers has also bit the dust Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'd consider binning Dawson he seems boring as sin. Pilkos idea seems canny, as does Who Am I. Could always do the six degrees of separation. Could you do a Sporting call my bluff with sporting terms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I would have to bin the bin. Dusty Bin? Dusty in the bin! He wasn't even real man! You could see the wheels under his feet man. Lazy twat!

Pilko Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I reckon McCoist and Tuffers would have been ideal captains imo, shame that McCoist left to be replaced by Tuffers. Nowt against Dawson but I reckon those two together would have been class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Haven't watched it in years, didn't think anyone still bothered until a lass at work said it's the only thing she follows.. she doesn't even like sport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lankybellwipe Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'm serious! If ever a show had served it's time it's this! 35 odd years man! pastures new man! 321, Mr. and Mrs, The Generation Game.... anything that deserves revitalising Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 The thing with QS is it suddenly looked rather dull back when "They Think It's All Over" came out, and then had to jazz itself up - losing the old school gravitas it used to have. So you either just go all out a make it more comedy based along the lines of "Mock The Week", "HIGNFY" etc...or you go the other direction and make it more sport/physical based like "Superstars"/"Krypton Factor"/"Gladiators".
