-ANNOUNCER:

-Tonight's sporting stars are

World Cup winning cricketer Tim Bresnan,

European champion sprinter Anyika Onuora,

rugby league powerhouse Jamie Jones-Buchanan

and Premier League high flyer Danny Simpson.

Let the games begin on A Question Of Sport.

Hello and welcome to the show.

Tonight's guests are used to winning at the highest level

but only one team can come out on top.

Who will it be? Up first, it is the Picture Board.

And Matt, your team are going to lead the way with this one.

-Remember, anyone can shout out the answers.

-Number four, please, Sue.

-Oh, that's Karlsson.

-Yes.

-Three.

-Erm, Malinga.

-Yes.

-Good shout. Two.

-Rossi, Paolo Rossi.

-No.

-No? The footballer.

Um, um, think of...

Move on. Oh, come on! One.

-Oh, Seren Bundy-Davies.

-Yes.

-Good shout, five.

-Very good.

-Carmelita Jeter.

-Lukaku!

-Yes.

Lukaku! Lukaku!

-CHEERING

-Come on!

Awesome.

I, I think I heard your mum and your sister go, "Go on, get in!"

-"Get in there!"

-Thanks, Mum! Thanks!

-Only one you missed out on. It was...

-Baggio, no?

-Yes.

Roberto Baggio, the Italian footballer

was the only one you missed.

But great, great start for your team.

-Right, Phil.

-Don't worry about that, lads.

60 seconds on the clock for you to get through as many of the 12

as you can.

OK. Ready, boys? Just shout them out. One, Sue.

-Um, Waqar...

-Yes.

-Two.

-Rangi Chase.

-Yes.

-Three.

-Luke Shaw.

-Yes.

-Four.

-Oh, Evonne Goolagong!

-Yes.

-Five.

-Oh, erm... Laidlaw, Greig Laidlaw.

-Yes.

-Six.

-Dubuisson.

-Yes!

-Seven.

-Joe Burgess.

-Yes, it is.

-Joe Burgess, eight.

-Fayette.

-Payet, Payet.

-Yes.

-Nine.

-Come on! Fran Halsall.

-No.

Erm...

Oh, no, move on, move on. 10.

-Amir Khan.

-Yes, it is.

-Yes! 11.

-Yeah.

-Who's that?

-Erm, Dott.

-No.

-Erm, Selby.

-Yes.

Oh! 12.

-Wilson!

-Yes.

-Yeah!

CHEERING

You only missed out on the one,

the Olympic silver medallist Keri-Anne Payne,

we were looking for.

Keri-Anne Payne but well done to you as well.

At the end of the opening round, the teams are tied, both on 11.

It's sports action time now and both teams are playing along.

The action will come thick and fast, I'm warning you.

But try and make a note of everything you see,

try and remember as much as you can.

COMMENTATOR: Too good.

It's absolutely superb.

The rest of the field way, way back. 24.62.

Papillon holding over 50 yards as they go.

And Papillon wins the Martell Grand National.

Oh! Taken it! Oh, no!

Ian Bell deprived of his double century.

His opponent from Tonga, Paea Wolfgramm.

Cleverley into Rooney.

Set up here then.

2-0.

Gets his first goal for the club.

Looking very strong indeed, she comes through to take it.

This one for birdie.

Yes! Rolls it out.

Throws it. Flat to Bridge. Bridge quickly on again. What a try!

OK, now we're going to play a game of noughts and crosses.

Each square on the board shows a sport.

You're going to take it in turns to pick a sport

to answer a question on.

If you get it right, you win a point and the square is yours.

But if you get it wrong, it becomes your opponents'.

Easy! OK, Matt. You're up first.

-Middle's key.

-No, top left, mate.

What, is it? Is that the most important one?

-I don't know.

-I thought middle was the important one.

Let's go middle, then? Oh, wait, hang on.

-Do we know that one?

-Yes. Wait.

-Go on, then.

Oh, I've got the same as you!

-Got to go then, haven't we?

-Yeah, yeah. We have to.

Go on, then. The middle one's important. Surely?

Noughts and crosses.

But then we have to go through the cricket if we want to win and I...

THEY LAUGH

-Not necessarily.

-No, we don't.

-Oh, yeah. Rugby league.

Have you ever played noughts and crosses?

-I think we should go for that. Swimming.

-You're going swimming.

Who was winning gold in the pool?

Liam Tancock.

-Well done, it is the right answer.

-Hey!

That's the one right there.

-PHIL:

-Right.

He's gone middle, hasn't he?

He's gone... Look at his little smiling face.

Is that, does that mean...

I know I've got a very round head but is that the zero,

the O of noughts and crosses?

A round head and there's you, going like this.

Where do we fancy, boys?

-We know boxing, don't we?

-There's a point for every one you get right.

Yeah, go on. Klitschko, wasn't it? We've got that.

And he could go anywhere. Boxing, Sue.

Where was Wladimir Klitschko winning Olympic gold?

-Olympic gold.

-Wow.

-Barcelona? Barcelona.

-Not that far back?

-Maybe. He's old, isn't it?

-What was after Barca?

-Atlanta?

-How long has it been, Atlanta?

-It's not a bad shout.

That one there. I don't know.

-Go on, give it a go.

-Atlanta.

-You're going for Atlanta?

-Yes.

-You're correct, well done.

-Yes!

-Whoo!

-OK, I think we'll go golf.

Angel Cabrera was on his...

-Why have I just done that?

-Why have you done that? What are you doing?

Why have I just done that?

Have you ever played noughts and crosses before?

Why have I just done that?

I don't know.

Angel Cabrera was on his way to winning the Masters.

But in which year did he win his first major?

I think it was the Open.

His Masters was '09, I think.

I think it's earlier than that.

I'm going to go with 2004.

-2004. Let's see...

-This will be a touch.

-No! PHIL:

-It's me, it's me.

-Right.

-2007 was the right answer.

-Tricky though, that.

-2007.

-Never.

-OK.

-Footy? We know the footy. Football, Sue, please. Come on!

-Be kind.

-Who was the goalkeeper Ander Herrera was scoring past?

Definitely was QPR, yeah?

-Go on, got it.

-Rob Green.

-It was Rob Green.

-Get in!

-In it goes again.

He's sort of let us off there.

Because if he'd gone rugby league,

we would have had to go horse racing. Probably got that wrong.

Listen, just look after your own game, OK? All right? OK.

Good luck with your tennis.

Thank you. Tennis.

-You saw...

-Yeah?

-..Marion Bartoli in action.

Which European did she beat in the 2013 Wimbledon final?

PHIL CHUCKLES

Tricky!

-2013?

-Yes.

-Oh.

-So, you've got Kvitova.

-Kitva, Kit?

-Kvitova.

-Kvitkova.

-Kvitkova.

-Kvitkova, that's it.

-Is it Kvitkova?

-I don't know.

-Kvitova.

-Is that how you spell it?

-And...we have Lisicki.

-Yes.

-She did amazingly well and got to the final and lost.

But was it that year?

But was it that year? Not sure. I think...

No, it wasn't last year, it was the year before.

What year was that? '14.

So, did she lose to Kvitova and then Kvitova lost to...

Who was the other one?

Oh, it was Bartoli.

Yes, that was the question.

THEY LAUGH

I think that's the only one we've got.

Do you want me to read the question again?

We'll go with Kvitova.

-Let's see!

-Oh, that's wrong. Oh, no.

-Was it Lisicki?

-It was...

-Lisicki?

-Lisicki! PHIL:

-Oh!

Well done, mate.

It was Sabine Lisicki.

Tuff, you didn't have to work too hard!

No, look! My face is everywhere.

We only answered one thing!

And that gets you the line,

it gets you the two points

to add to your score.

So, at the end of the round, what a difference.

Matt is on 12, Phil's team in front on 15.

Now it's choice of Home or Away.

Possible three points if you go away, Daws's team.

-Tim's up first. Home or Away?

-I will back anything you say.

-And I'll back what he says.

-There we go. Whatever you want.

-Whatever you want, Tim.

-Home or Away?

-Honestly?

-Away.

-OK.

THEY LAUGH

Ooh!

-I'm with him, I'm with him.

-Come on!

-I'm with him.

-Team.

How do you feel about basketball?

-Home.

-THEY LAUGH

In 2012, USA won the men's Olympic basketball gold.

-Which other three teams reached the semifinals?

-Oh come on, Sue.

-Oh, weird!

-Good luck.

-Australia did quite well.

-Maybe that one.

-Yeah, they were all thereabouts. Aussies are decent.

-No, better not shout. It goes over, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

-You get three choices.

-OK, so first up, we are going with Spain.

-OK.

-Just to make it easier.

-Second up?

-What about them?

Yeah. Some big lads. Big lads come from there.

-No. Shall we go with that?

-I think, yeah. Swap that one.

-Yes.

-OK, so we're all agreed with that one. Croatia.

-And?

-No idea.

-Do you want me to, sort of...?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like the old pin the tail on the donkey.

Go on, then, go on, then.

Ha! Missed the list.

Just missed it.

-All right, we'll go with Russia.

-OK!

-You have scored two points.

-Oh!

Get in there! That's right. Come on!

-Totally redeemed myself!

-Gosh.

-Well done, Tim.

That Russia got the points. Spain got the points.

That was a very technical way of finding out the answers there, Sue.

-Very technical.

-Croatia not right.

So, one point on offer.

-Israel, Sue.

-No.

-No. Sorry.

-No.

-No?

-No, it was Argentina.

Argentina is the one we missed out.

-But two points, so good decision, Tim.

-Yeah, very good decision.

Well done. Over to you, Danny.

But before we start, I've just got to say

congratulations on a great season.

What's the team spirit like at the moment?

-What's it like to be part of the club?

-No, it's class at the minute.

You couldn't... You couldn't imagine it at the start at the season,

to be where we are now.

You seem to combine so well as a team.

-The team spirit must be terrific.

-Yeah, it is.

We're really close on and off the pitch. I think that helps, really.

You can tell on the pitch obviously how hard we work for each other.

So, at what stage of the season did you start to think, "Erm, ooh!"

-Still not there.

-Still not!

-Good answer! Still not there.

Game by game. Game by game.

-OK, what are you going to do?

-Go home.

-Home.

We're in the lead.

Who's 18 league goals last season failed to prevent his side

from relegation from the Premier League but this season,

on his return to the top flight, scored the winner at Old Trafford.

-Charlie Austin.

-Could be?

-Yeah.

-QPR and he's gone now to Southampton.

-Header on his debut.

-Go on.

-Confident?

-Yes.

-Charlie Austin.

-Yes, it is. Well done.

Anyika, Home or Away?

-Home, please.

-Home.

Who in successive World Outdoor Championships

came fourth in the 200 metres in Moscow

and won her first world medal with silver in the 400 metres in Beijing?

-Right.

-Oh.

-Was Beijing...?

-I know.

-When was Beijing?

-Last year.

Last year, right.

-400, who won that?

-Allyson Felix.

-Right, she's good, isn't she?

-She's all right.

-She's all right.

SUE LAUGHS

-Were you in the races?

-I was in, yeah, I was in the semis.

-Semis.

-That's her surname.

-Oh, that's enough.

-That's enough.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-Miller.

-Yes, it is.

-Get in there!

Shaunae Miller. Shaunae Miller.

Well done.

OK, Jamie. Home or away.

-I'm going to have to go home, please.

-Home.

-Jot it down.

Who played in the 2011 Four Nations final for England,

scored a try in last season's NRL final

but has never played in the Super League?

Right, so...right, yeah.

-One of the big ones.

-I know who it is.

-Do you?

-Yeah. Erm...

-Reed, I want to go for Reed.

-Yeah, and did you know...?

-You had his first name as well?

-Jack Reed, is it?

Jack Reed, yeah, is the right answer. Well done!

Whoo!

OK, captains. You are up against the wall now.

-And Matt, you're going first.

-OK, here we go, here we go.

On the wall are nine footballing greats.

You need to find the five that have won the Ballon d'Or.

Who's the middle one?

Have won the Ballon d'Or.

Remember, your team can shout out answers to help you if they like.

-Your time starts...

-The Ballon d'Or?

..now.

-Go for yourself.

-OK.

-Because I've not heard of him, I'm going to go with him.

-Yes.

I'll go with him, I'll go with him, I'll go with him and him.

-Right, what do you think?

-Two.

-Two?

-Rivaldo.

-Rivaldo, who for?

-Take some off?

-Whoever you want.

Eto'o.

-Shevchenko.

-Ooh!

Oh, he's won it though, hasn't he?

He's won it. Ruud. Hasn't Ruud won it?

-Have they?

-Three.

-Three.

-Oh, no.

-Hasn't Ruud won it?

I'm going tactical now, going tactical. Go tactical there.

-Four.

-Ooh!

-Like it, like it.

-Oh, oh! I think I might just leave that.

I'll just leave it. Come on, just leave that.

-Freeze!

-Hey!

-Freeze.

Freeze.

-Over there!

-Let's all calm down a bit here.

Back you go.

So, the one that's wrong, Thierry Henry has not won it.

-Fabio Cannavaro is the one you were looking for.

-Oh, for the World Cup.

They were the five ones that we were looking for.

As you know, you scored four and that's a great score.

-Well done.

-I'll take that all day long.

-OK, Phil. Let's see how you fare.

-Come on, come on.

Come on.

How have you got four there? How have you got four?

-He hasn't got the fitness, you're right.

-Fitness?

He's got a limited amount of shows, hasn't he?

He's got about three or four.

Can we try and get it done in the first run, please?

Right, OK.

OK, here are nine American sports teams.

You need to find the five Major League Baseball teams, OK?

Major League Baseball teams.

Your time starts now.

OK, what do you reckon?

-Er, Twins.

-You're on your own.

-Mavericks.

-Astros.

-Mavericks.

Mavericks. Er, Mariners.

-One more?

-Oilers.

-Oilers.

-Ooh!

-Oilers, is it?

-Three.

-Three?

-What do you reckon?

-Take one away.

-Take one away.

-Take Twins off.

-Twins off.

-Pistons, Pistons.

-Pistons.

-It's not Bruins.

-Not Bruins?

-You sure?

-Two.

-Two!

Get the Twins back on, Pistons off.

-Twins back on. Oilers off.

-Brewers.

-Brewers.

-Yes. Good work, good work. Get them knees pumping.

-Four.

-Four! Oh!

-What do you reckon?

-If we left it?

-I don't know.

WHISTLE BLOWS No!

-We'll take four.

-Yeah, take that.

Bottled it. Bottled it.

-I didn't have another run in me anyway.

-Yeah!

The Mavericks, the Dallas Mavericks are the basketballers.

Oh, of course they are! The Mavs.

The Rockies was the other one we were looking for, the Rockies.

But very well done as well.

Four points scored which means at the end of the round,

Matt's on 19, Phil's team in front on 21.

It is the Observation Round now and this is for both teams.

We'll be playing bingo,

so you need to write down the numbers you see on shirts

and clothing and if possible -

because trust me, it goes very quickly -

the sports that they are from.

-Everyone understand?

-Yes.

-Good luck.

# I'm telling you one thing You're number one

# See, I don't understand How you're number one

# When it was just a fling before Now you're the one

# See, all I did was blink twice

# From my homie To my only number one

# You lift me off the ground I always want you around

# I ain't going to let nothing get in the way

# Won't ever let nothing get in the way

# You lift me off the ground I always want you around

# I ain't going to let nothing get in the way

# Won't ever let nothing get in the way. #

THEY LAUGH

-Wow.

-Absolutely nothing!

I can't... We just, I can't write quick enough.

No, I know. Right.

You need to pick a number from this board

that featured in the action and the sport you think you saw it in.

And it's one point if you get it correct and another point

if you get the correct sport that it's from.

Bet you're into bingo these days, are you, Sue?

Shut up. AUDIENCE LAUGH

What? What?

Don't worry, they're all on my side.

-God!

-You cheeky monkey.

-Right, Matt.

-Yeah, go with that one.

-Oh, 111.

-And what sport?

-Track and field.

-Athletics.

-Athletics.

-Paula Radcliffe, marathon.

-Let's see.

Well done! Two points scored.

-Go on, go for that.

-Any you're sure about?

-Definitely with that.

-Athletics, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, go on.

Um, 1759 was athletics.

No, it wasn't.

-No way!

-It was 1795. That's a cheeky one we put on there.

AUDIENCE GROAN

You never said that!

We did!

Because he had it right, he's got the right number there.

It has to be a number that's on the board.

I think you were perfectly clear, Sue.

SHE LAUGHS

Are they?

We think 201 was the fencing.

Let's see.

Well done, yes. Another two points.

Right.

Right, OK. 1, shooting. 1 is shooting, Sue.

OK. Let's see.

-Well done.

-Yes!

-Mm-hm, that was the athletics, wasn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Shall we save it just in case?

-Yeah.

-You were handy with that, weren't you?

-I think so, yes.

-Go for it.

-Well, I wrote it down.

-Yeah, no, go.

Er, 21 we think was the handball.

Let's have a look.

-Very good.

-Boom!

You've got...the water polo.

-What was the water polo? Go on!

-12, then?

-Yeah, go on.

-Number 12, water polo.

Let's see if you're right.

Yes, you are.

Right! Keep thinking, what else?

OK, last guess, Matt.

-37, please.

-Number 37.

-Women's football.

-Let's see.

Oh!

-But you get one point but it was NFL.

-Oh!

So one point if you get the number,

two points if you get the sport as well.

-Go with a

-5. Er, 5, rugby league.

5, rugby league.

Yes!

Got one again.

End of the round, Matt's on 26, Phil in front on 27.

The captains are up in the middle to end the show tonight.

The Sprint Finish is where things can be won or lost.

-And, Matt, as you're trailing.

-Right, here we go.

-I think you're moving over there.

-OK.

-OK.

-OK, ready. Time starts now.

Newcastle striker, scores and does that.

-Shearer.

-Yes.

Oh, batsman, not at the top or the bottom but in the...

-Middle order.

-Correct.

Oh, ath...

In the long jump, not the white one but the other one.

-The red flag.

-Yes.

-Oh, I'm playing that and it's...

This part of the...

-Backswing.

-Correct.

Oh, I'm in a...

-Like a kayak.

-Canoeing.

Oh, she's a runner. Blonde. Lovely little...

Oh, great character. 1500, 800.

-Erm...

-Yes?

Oh, it's not a field, it would be a slightly bigger field.

-It's called...

-Stadium.

No! A field, cows are eating!

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Oh!

-Meadow, Jenny Meadows.

-Oh!

-Does she do the 1500?

-She does the 800.

-Oh!

-She does the 800.

-She eats in a field!

-Meadows.

-Jenny Meadows was the one you were trying to get.

But very well done. Seven scored.

-Six to tie, seven to win.

-Come on! Let's go, come on.

OK.

-Right, then.

-OK, there's your first words. Time starts now.

Boxing, in the gym, you hit the...?

-Yes, yes.

Oh, rugby league side. With wings.

Ooh! Fire coming out of them.

-Catalan Dragons.

-Yes, yes! Oh, in...

-The people behind the stumps in cricket. First...

-Backstop.

No, you have the wicketkeeper. What's this? You fall over, you...

-On ice, you...?

-Slip.

-Yes! Not one.

-Second slip.

-Yes!

-In football, you go up...

-Head the ball, skim.

-Glance.

-Skimmed off, it's a...?

-Flick-on, flick-on!

-You said it.

-Flick-on.

-No, you look.

-Cushion.

-Yes.

-Scottish tennis player.

-WHISTLE BLOWS

Andy Murray!

Glancing header.

-I thought Danny said that.

-He said glancing.

-He did say glancing!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yes!

Didn't he? Said it!

-I don't know, I don't know. Have a look on the replay.

-Yeah, they will.

-He did say glancing.

-I think you did.

-I sounded confused.

-I said glancing.

-I'm sorry, I didn't hear glancing.

After consulting video evidence,

I can tell you you did say glancing header.

It's seven points, you're the winners!

Yeah!

What a way to finish and a win by one point.

So, congratulations to Danny and Jamie.

Commiserations to Anyika and Tim.

But a big thank you to all of our guests and the three of us

will see you soon.

Bye for now. Bye-bye.
