APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome.

Coming up this evening, we have some mystery guests,

everyone's favourite Home or Away

and the Sprint Finish, but that is all to come.

First up, it is the picture board.

On tonight's picture board, there are six categories.

You will take it in turns to pick one and then using the surnames of the

sports stars you see, combine them to form something from that category.

OK? All will be revealed. Matt, we'll ask your team to pick first.

-Terrace chant, I don't know about that.

-Sporting event, no, TV...

-Shall we go figure of speech?

-Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-That jumped out at me. Happy with that, Ricky?

-Yeah.

-Figure of speech, please, Susan.

-OK. Here they are.

-Oh.

-Ugh.

There's one, two, three,

four, five, six...

Anybody know any of those?

LAUGHTER

-Well, the Man City player is...?

-David Silva.

OK, that's number four.

-Silva.

-I can't believe every time I come on here

I never get the boxing ones right.

-I haven't a clue who he is!

-LAUGHTER

Well, the cricketer is Lyon.

Silva, Lyon.

HE ROARS SOFTLY

-Silver lining.

-What's that?

-Silver lining?

-Silva, Lyon, Lyon.

-Silva, Lyon.

-Ning! Ing! Ning!

-Ing.

-His name could be Ning.

It's got to be. It's got to be.

- Yeah, yeah. - We're going to wing it.

We've got to go with "Every cloud has a silver lining."

Well done, you get it right!

APPLAUSE

Matt Every, Tavoris Cloud, Robin Haase,

David Silva, you got, Nathan Lyon and Gao Ning.

Well done, good start.

-I'll take that.

-Over to you, Tuffers.

-Yes. I think we're going to go terrace chant, Sue, please.

-Right.

Oh... Well, footballer, Man United.

-(Depay.)

-So that's Depay, Depay.

-That's, erm...

-That is...

-..the Aussie guy, isn't it?

-Erm, tennis player...

-Hewitt.

-Hewitt. Lleyton Hewitt.

And that is the rugby league player Ryan Hall. Ryan Hall.

So that's Hewitt, Hall, Depay, Depay.

LAUGHTER

-Any ideas?

-That doesn't make sense.

Did that...? That didn't make sense.

Have you heard that on the terraces?

LAUGHTER

-Hewitt, Hall...

-("Who hit the ball...")

# Who hit all... #

Oh, I've got it! I've got it!

LAUGHTER

-I take it you've got this one, Daws.

-He's got it.

It's actually... What Tuffers just did there was brilliant.

# Hewitt, Hall...Depay, Depay. #

LAUGHTER

-Oh!

-What is it?!

Every week someone sang this to you.

# Hewitt, Hall... #

Oh! I think I've got it!

-I hope so.

-Is his name...

His name isn't Pies.

Hewitt, Hall, the pies? Depays?

-Who ate all...

-Who ate all Depays, Depays?

"Who ate all the pies?"

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

It sounded like Depay.

-It's how you pronounce it, I guess.

-A double...

We've got it.

And they didn't used to sing it to you, did they?

- No, no. - They used to sing it to me.

LAUGHTER

"Who ate all the pies?"

Yes, Hewitt, Hall and Depay. Yes, well done.

"Who ate all the pies?"

-APPLAUSE

-That was a good one.

Daws, over to you.

Sports teams.

Oh, no.

-I know her.

-Well, what's her name? Good, good, good.

-We've got one.

-One, two, three...

-It's Morgan Lake.

-Lake.

Something, something, Lake.

What's that American sports team with Lake in it?

(Lake...)

-LA Lakers?

-Lakers, LA Lakers.

K-Kerrs!

-They are called the Kerrs!

-No, they're not!

-They are called the Kerrs!

-No, they're not!

-They are!

Hang on, he looks a bit Spanish. Could that be "Los"?

-Los...

-Angela.

-..Angeles Lakers.

Ah! We might have something here.

Go on, then.

-I'll take the rap for it, shall I?

-Yeah.

Los Angeles Lakers, Sue.

The LA Lakers is the right answer.

APPLAUSE

It was Keegan Ayre,

and then Kirsty Lay...

LA. Morgan Lake and John and Sinead Kerr.

So, LA Lakers, so well done -

two points there and a final pic for you, Tuffers.

Song lyrics please.

All righty.

INDISTINCT

Who?

Howe.

Eddie Howe, Bournemouth.

Who's the swimmer?

Jemma Lowe.

-Howe, Lowe...

-Can you go?

Howe, Lowe...

How low can you go?

# How low is your love?

# How low can you go? #

-I'm thinking that one.

-It's not.

-I like that one.

-It's not "How low can you go?"

-That means her name is "Canyou."

-LAUGHTER

-We've got a footballer called Kanu.

-Kanu.

Have you got any better ideas?

So that means his name... I don't know a golfer called Go.

-There's a Hugo, yeah.

-Hugo!

-You go.

-Hugo!

-No, you go.

LAUGHTER

Hugo.

-Howe, Lowe...

-Can you...

-...Can, Hugo.

How low can you go?

Of course it is.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You got Eddie Howe and Jemma Lowe.

It was Elizabeth Cann

and Jean Hugo, the South African golfer.

So, well done.

At the end of the opening round, the teams are tied - both on four.

It's Sports Action time now and this week, both teams are playing along.

Pay close attention to the sports stars you see.

This is too good.

And what a sight to behold when she is in full flow.

Yes!

A moment he, nor any of us, shall never forget.

What a good punch, the left hook.

Thoroughly deserved.

DROWNED OUT BY APPLAUSE

If we weren't sure before, we're absolutely sure now.

Absolutely destroyed his world record.

Yes, well done. A four to finish.

There's the volley.

Oh, it's a terrific goal for England.

Each number on the board relates to a stat about someone you saw in action.

Your job is to match them up.

So, Matt, you're up first and it's boxing.

So, do you know who was winning in the ring?

-Oscar De La Hoya.

-It was indeed.

He was winning Olympic gold in 1992,

but which number on the board matches his total professional fights?

Calzaghe had 46 or something, didn't he?

It's got to be the bottom row, hasn't it?

Definitely the bottom row, yeah.

That doesn't seem a lot to me there.

Well, I had 48.

Off the top of my head, I think De La Hoya had more than me

because he was about longer than me, wasn't the?

Won more world titles than me.

In fact, I've never liked him.

LAUGHTER

-If I had to have a guess, I'd say that.

-Yeah?

I'm going to go with 45, Sue.

You're going with 45?

Yes. Well done.

45 is the right answer. APPLAUSE

And, Phil, here's your first one. It's swimming.

-I assume you know who that was.

-Phelps.

Well done.

How many world championship medals has Phelps won?

-It could be loads. I'm thinking...

-That seems a lot.

Yeah, but it's any medal, isn't it?

And then his relays, he won eight at the Olympics.

-20.

-20.

-I would go with that.

-All right.

-We're going to go with 20, please, Sue.

-Going with 20. Is that right?

-No. 33 we were looking for.

-33?!

33 long course medals

for Michael Phelps.

-That's a lot.

-A lot.

OK, another one for you, Matt.

-You've got athletics.

-Good.

Any idea who you saw in action?

She's definitely a heptathlete.

Can't remember her name.

Nice girl...

LAUGHTER

-Eunice...

-Barber.

Eunice Barber was her name, yes.

Which number on the board matches up to Eunice Barber's

world championship medal tally?

I would say...

I'd go the lower end.

-I'd probably go three.

-Yeah?

-Not gold, just any medals?

-Any medals. Isn't it any medals?

-Any medal.

-Four, five...

-Four isn't there.

-Three or five.

-What do you reckon, guys?

-Four.

I'm going to go with three.

-You're going three?

-Yeah.

Heptathlon and the long jump, let's have a look.

-Oh, the long jump, just threw that in.

-Oh, no.

You threw that in there.

-Gosh.

-Yes, three in the heptathlon,

-two in the long jump.

-Sneaky.

-Oh, no.

-OK, Tuffers.

Oh, what is it?

He's fallen down a hole again.

-There's a hole there.

-There's a hole there.

LAUGHTER

Sorry.

-Here's another one for you. It is football.

-Yes.

-Who was scoring?

-Yes.

LAUGHTER

We didn't really see it

but we think it might have been David Bentley.

Possibly.

OK. Joe Cole.

Joe Cole. Of course it was Joe Cole.

Joe Cole was scoring for England against Sweden.

Which number on the board matches up to his international goals?

He wouldn't have played more than 20 times.

-Average of...

-INDISTINCT

-Three or seven.

-Yeah.

-Or ten?

-How many...?

-That's one in every two games.

How many caps did you reckon he has?

-Fancy about seven?

-I reckon we go seven, yeah. Seven's good.

We'll go with seven, Sue.

You're going with seven.

Let's have a look.

Ten was the right answer.

He played 56 times for England.

Ten goals he scored.

OK, Matt, your final question.

Do you want cricket or tennis?

-Right, OK...

-Do you know...? Have you got both the people?

Was it...

-Miss Mauresmo? Mauresmo?

-Yeah.

And was it Prior?

-Was it Prior?

-Mm-hmm.

Who would we like to go with?

Ricky, I'll give you the choice there. Cricket or tennis?

-Tennis.

-Tennis.

So, which one matches Amelie Mauresmo's

Grand Slam singles final appearances?

-Grand Slam... Oh.

-OK.

-I would say...

-I think we're thinking top row, are we?

-Yeah.

So, are we thinking round here?

-Yeah. That's exactly where I would go.

-Seven!

Seven.

Is it seven?

-No. It's three.

-Fancy that!

It's going very well.

It could only get worse with cricket.

LAUGHTER

Oh, no, you don't get cricket.

You get a choice of golf or snooker.

LAUGHTER

-What's your best?

-I'd know if it was Monty.

-It was Monty and the snooker was Doherty.

-Go golf.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, go golf.

Happy with a bit of golf as well?

-Bit of golf.

-Golf, Sue.

-OK.

So, which of the numbers left

matches Monty's total European tour victories?

-He played a lot.

-A lot, didn't he?

-He was the biggest winner in European...

-European...

He was top ranked European for donkeys.

-I'd go 31.

-Got to be 31.

-Happy with 31?

-31.

-31, Sue.

You're going for 31. Is it right?

Come on.

Yes, it is. APPLAUSE

Well done.

And at the end of that round, the teams have moved on.

They're still tied, though - they're both on five.

APPLAUSE

Now it is home or away.

Louise, coming straight to you.

Home question or away?

Why don't we just go away?

-Away?

-Yeah, why not.

-OK.

Name three of the four African teams

to take part in the 2015 Netball World Cup.

-Oh, Sue.

-LAUGHTER

OK, OK. Let's just write down some African countries.

OK, so, they've got to be in it.

They could steal here...

-Maybe... They're probably in it.

-Oh, gosh.

-Yeah, yeah.

-I think they could be in it.

Hmm.

Is that in Africa?

-OK. What have we got?

-We're going to go with that one.

-Right.

-You've got to go with three. I need three answers.

-South Africa.

-Yep.

Ghana...

Namibia?

Namibia!

One right.

Oh, my goodness.

A chance to steal. South Africa is right.

-That's the only one you got right.

-Right, I don't know.

Nigeria... Nigeria. I fancy...

Nigeria's massive.

Zimbabwe.

And Zimbabwe.

Kenya.

-Zimbabwe, Nigeria.

-Zimbabwe.

Which one are you going for?

Nigeria.

The four we were looking for, South Africa they gave,

the others - Zambia,

Uganda

and Malawi.

-Oh!

-No Nigeria.

So, no points there.

That's why it's an away question.

So, Chris, coming to you, home or away?

I think I'm going to have to go home.

Who won individual backstroke gold and silver

at the world championships in Kazan

and he completed the set with bronze in the medley relay?

Who won the medley?

I'll tell you who won the 50 - Camille Lacourt won the 50

and he's French.

I think it's him. I think it's Camille Lacourt.

-Go on, you've got it.

-Camille won the 50, so there's your gold.

Silver in the 100 back because he lost to Mitch,

so he came second,

and then France came third in the medley relay.

-Go on.

-Is it Camille Lacourt?

It is! Well worked out!

APPLAUSE

-Ricky, home or away?

-I'll go home.

Home, OK.

Who between 2012 and 2014 fought Manny Pacquiao

for the WBO welterweight title on two occasions,

beating him in their first fight

but losing the title and his undefeated record in the second?

Timothy Bradley.

Yes, the American! Well done!

APPLAUSE

Gary, home or away?

The away questions are too hard so we'll go home.

Who has lost to the same team twice in the FA Cup final,

doing so in 1998 and again last season?

So he played for Villa last year

and got beaten by Arsenal, and then played for someone else perhaps

in '98 and got beat by Arsenal.

You've got to be... well old geezer.

Well, he won't be really old, you know what I mean.

Fairly old. For a footie boy.

Who played for Villa last year?

Who's significantly older?

Who was in goal for Villa?

-It doesn't go on offer. It's a home question.

-Oh!

Shay Given.

Who would he have played against at Arsenal in '98?

-Newcastle.

-Newcastle.

I think that's right.

Go with Shay Given.

Newcastle in '98, Villa last season, it is Shay Given!

APPLAUSE

Captains, it's time to see how brave you and your teams are

because you potentially have a lot of answers in this round.

The topic is Roger Federer.

He has defeated 11 players in Grand Slam singles finals.

I want you to write down on your tablets the numbers you think

you can name correctly.

Choose carefully, as the team who give the highest number

will have to name them.

If you get them right, you win the points, but if you get one wrong,

the points go to the other team.

How many can you name?

Just don't put in 12, Phil. There's only 11.

OK, how brave have they been in their bids?

-Let's find out.

-Think we've got too many...

Dawes gas gone for seven!

Tuffers has gone for six, so, Dawes, it's all yours.

-Roddick.

-Need a first answer straight away.

-Andy Roddick.

-Andy Roddick you're going for, is correct.

Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic.

That's two.

-Andy Murray.

-Three.

Nadal.

Yes, got four. Three more.

Slightly struggling now.

-Shall we go with Tsonga?

-I'd go there.

We're going there, are we?

Oh, no, what about the first one?

The first one, in '03.

-Hewitt?

-No, the other one.

Philippoussis. No, Rafter.

Rafter. Pat Rafter.

No!

If you had said Lleyton Hewitt, you would have been right,

if you'd said Mark Philippoussis, you would have been right,

so, Phil, congratulations, two points to you.

APPLAUSE

We have one more for you, OK? The topic is Formula One drivers.

So write down how many of the 11 British drivers to complete

a Formula One Grand Prix since 2000. How many can you name?

Put in your bid now.

British drivers to complete a Formula One Grand Prix since 2000.

Right, let's have a look.

British - that's English, Irish, Scottish, everything.

Exactly. 2000.

Who are your obvious ones?

Right, we've got Button, Hamilton...

-Jenson Button.

-Jenson Button.

-Correct.

-Lewis Hamilton.

-Yes.

Andrew Coulthard. No, David Coulthard!

-Making up names!

-Coulthard.

How many have we given you, three?

Yes, we need another four.

Eddie Irvine. Irvine.

Correct! You're up to four, three more.

-Herbert.

-We going to go for Herbert?

Wales, Ireland, Scottish... Johnny Herbert.

Johnny Herbert is right!

-You've got five, two to get.

-Two more!

-Yes!

Why did we put seven!

We'll have to go Damon Hill and hope he was just in it.

Damon Hill!

Damon Hill quit in '99.

-That's harsh.

-So, you award Matt two points, how nice is that?

End of that round, the teams are tied both on nine.

Will this round separate them?

Matt, you're up first.

Who is this starring in his own computer game?

MUSIC: Flux by Bloc Party

Oh, what!

Not a clue. Not a clue.

Was it a wig or did he have that little sticky out hair?

You think that was real? And the moustache, as well?

I think he's put the 'tache on.

He didn't look...

athletic.

He looked like me.

-We'll go with Steve Harmison.

-Go with Harmy.

OK, let's have a look. Are you right?

If that's his real hair then I've got a really good idea who that is.

That's not his real hair, is it?

Big barnet, don't know. Big barnet.

Are you going to have a guess?

Fellaini.

-Fellaini?!

-He's got a big barnet.

He wouldn't have been able to get the hat on!

No ideas? No ideas?

Paul Collingwood.

OK, let's have a look.

Is it Paul?

No!

So who did you think it is?

-Sidebottom.

-Yes, it is Ryan Sidebottom, the England cricketer.

APPLAUSE

OK, Phil, for your team, who is this pool shark?

MUSIC: Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman

Oh!

Right up until the last one but I still think it's him.

He might have let it grow a bit.

-Go for it.

-Are you happy with that?

-I'm happy with it.

-John Hartson.

-Let's have a look.

Yes! It is the Welsh footballer John Hartson!

APPLAUSE

And that's made a difference with one round to go.

Matt is on nine, Phil in front on 11!

APPLAUSE

And the last round is Sprint Finish.

It can all change here and Matt, as you're trailing,

-you get to go first.

-Come on, here we go.

-Go on! Come on!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, time starts now.

-En garde!

-Fencing.

-Yes.

-Yes.

Er, oh, boxer. Big fella in the Olympics.

-Anthony Joshua.

Oh, er, if you're doing the high jump, you do the...?

-Back flip?

-Fosbury Flop.

You do! Oh, what a great...

-Goal.

-Oh, it wasn't.

-Miss.

-Miss.

-It got...?

It was one but then it wasn't.

-Own goal.

-No!

-Disallowed.

Yes, yes, good man, well done.

Oh, I don't know what.

This is... Oh, it's a Gaelic sport.

-Curling.

-No, nearly, rhymes with that one.

-Hurling.

-Yes!

-Hurray!

Oh, it's a one, two, three.

-Come on, lads, come on.

APPLAUSE

Here we go, come on.

-Cross-country skiing.

-Alpine skiing.

Yes, you've got it. You've got it.

What's this?

-American football.

-LAUGHTER

-Oh, the Rams, football.

-Er...

The Rams! The Rams, Brian Clough used to manage them.

-Brian who?

-Brian Clough!

-Nottingham Forest.

-No, the other one.

-Derby.

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

We're allowing Derby.

CHEERING

You needed six to win.

You scored...

Six! You're the winners!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done.

Well done to Tuffers' team

and a big thank you to Chris and to Gary,

to Louise and Ricky.

Just a reminder that you can catch up with any of the episodes

of A Question Of Sport on the BBC iPlayer.

But for now, from all of us, goodbye.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
