Multiple Choice A Question of Sport

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to a special edition of A Question Of Sport.

Tonight, we'll be looking back at some of the questions

that have really made the teams think.

And it can often prove tricky enough getting one answer right

on this show, but when there are multiple answers on offer,

that's when the fun really starts.

In total, 374 Team GB athletes went to Rio,

including the four that we have here in the studio,

so I want you to take it in turns to name the rest.

So, Matt...

LAUGHTER

That's a wind-up.

I'm only joking.

You are going to take it in turns to name the ten countries

to take the most athletes to Rio, with the exception of Great Britain,

and this is in accordance with the official Rio 2016 figures.

Yeah, I like your first answer. Let's start with that one.

No, that's right. It's got to be.

-Yeah, it's got to be.

-Go on, go for it.

USA.

Is correct, yes.

-That's obvious, that one.

-Yeah?

-China.

-China is right.

Oh, there you go. They've got to be.

They've got to be in. I'll translate that,

cos Alistair can run, but he can't write.

-Yeah?

-Like that one? Go with that one.

-Germany.

-Germany is correct, yes.

Happy with France? Happy with France?

-Yeah.

-Happy with France?

-Yes.

-France, Sue.

Well done.

Got to be, haven't they?

-Yeah, let's go for it.

-Yeah.

Australia, Sue.

Yes, well done.

APPLAUSE

Canada or Brazil?

Cos Canada, you have hockey teams.

Do we fancy a bit of Canada?

Yeah? Go on, it's a good shout, give it a go.

OK. Canada.

Well done, yes. It's there. APPLAUSE

Well done.

We're going to go with Japan.

It's there, yes.

-Well done, team!

-APPLAUSE

Got to go with Brazil.

Yes, number two on the list. APPLAUSE

Last guess each and it is actually nine and ten.

Oh, is it?

I think that's a good shout.

I think they're a good shout as well.

-This one?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Let's go for it.

-Go for it.

-Korea.

-No.

-Oh!

LAUGHTER

-That's the one we had written down.

-LAUGHTER

No, we didn't, actually.

We're going to have a little go for...

Happy with that? Happy with that?

Netherlands.

No.

Oh...

Italy?

Yes, Italy was another one,

and Spain.

Why didn't we have that one down?

I said that one.

And James, coming to you - home or away?

A possible three points.

-We've got to go away.

-We've got to go away.

-Going to go away, OK.

Everyone in, come on. Let's do it.

Which three current Premier League teams

have not appeared in an FA Cup final in the last 50 years?

Oh, got one. Bournemouth, West Brom.

-Burnley.

-Eh?

-Burnley, are they in?

-Burnley?

-What about Leicester?

-Not a bad shout. Leicester.

Have they been in an FA Cup final?

-I know they've...

-That's 50 years.

-That's a long time.

-That is a long time.

-Hull.

No, Hull was against Arsenal.

-We beat them 3-2.

-Swansea.

-That's a great shout.

That's a great shout.

Oh-ho-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho-ho!

I mean, it might be wrong, cos I wasn't around 50 years ago.

I think we've done all right.

-I think that's a great...

-So, are you happy with that,

-the ones here?

-Yeah, no, I think we're pretty strong there.

Right, we're going to go with them three. Good idea.

Right. Burnley, Bournemouth, Swansea, Sue.

You have got one...

two...

three points. CHEERING

Well done, James, for coming up with Burnley and Swansea!

I've got no idea about football.

He doesn't know anything about football, too - nailed it!

The next question is on the Summer Olympics,

so who will be going for gold on this one?

It's Katherine against Phil, take your places.

APPLAUSE

You look so happy about this.

-Summer Olympics.

-Yes.

I want you to name a sport in which Great Britain won a gold medal

at the Summer Olympics in Rio.

-Name a sport that Great Britain won a gold medal in, in Rio.

-Oh, man.

Katherine, you can go first.

APPLAUSE

Surprisingly, correct.

APPLAUSE

She's got one.

Look into my eyes...

-Swimming.

-Yes.

APPLAUSE

Oh, did we do it in that?

Shooting.

No! KLAXON BLARES

It is a wrong answer so Katherine gets the point.

-MATT:

-Well done, Katherine, well done!

APPLAUSE

Gymnastics!

Yeah, gymnastics. Triathlon...

Oh, the Brownlee boys!

-Sailing.

-All right, OK, all right!

We'll risk it for a biscuit and go away.

Name the three racecourses in the UK that begin with the letter P.

UK.

-That's our three, then.

-MATT:

-Three?

We've got five, actually, but...

LAUGHTER

Is there a place called that or is that from Trumpton?

LAUGHTER

-It's right.

-Plankton?

-Plumpton.

-Yes, get in there!

-Get in there.

-That's the one I thought of.

-Did you?

Oh, sorry, sorry.

Right, we might have two.

Have you definitely got all three, you lot?

No. I think we've got the same two as you.

-MATT:

-Oh, have you?

-I've got one.

I have really pulled it out of the bag.

-I've pulled it out of the bag.

-Have you? Is it in Northern Ireland?

HE WHISPERS

HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

Got it from nowhere!

That's unbelievable.

-We've got three.

-Well done.

OK, Kadeena.

Right, so we've got Pontefract.

-Pontefract, yep.

-Plumpton.

-Plumpton.

-And Punchestown.

Punchestown.

You have two points.

No way!

Punchestown is in the Republic of Ireland.

Oh!

Great guess, sadly not in Northern Ireland.

So, over for one bonus point.

-That one hasn't been said?

-No.

-What was said?

Plumpton and Pontefract.

Oh, Pontefract. Well, we're thinking...

Is it Pontypool?

No, it isn't.

The one you're missing is Perth.

-Perth!

-Perth.

Perth in Scotland, yes.

APPLAUSE

It is top ten time now

and here with your question is a South African sporting legend.

Hi, everyone, Jacques Kallis here.

-COMMENTARY:

-That is a powerful strike.

Oh, that's out, isn't it?

That's out, definitely.

Of the bowlers that have played Test cricket and taken 230 wickets,

who are the top ten run scorers?

Ooh! Well, thanks to Jacques.

Just to remind you of the question.

Of the players to have taken 230 or more Test wickets,

who have scored the most runs?

So, Jacques is top with a whopping 13,289 runs.

What?!

So, Daws, you will go first when you're ready.

OK. What's your absolute...

Handy having a cricketer,

they haven't got a cricketer on their side.

LAUGHTER

Ouch!

-What's your go-to?

-My go-to is Kapil Dev.

That's for your first pick? Let's have a look.

Is he on the list?

And where? Number three.

-Good shout, nice.

-APPLAUSE

We're going to go with Botham, Sue.

Going with Ian Botham.

Number four. APPLAUSE

Amy?

-LAUGHTER

-Your turn, come on!

-Imran Khan. Go for it.

-Imran Khan?

OK, let's have a look.

-Oh, come on Amy!

-Come on, Amy!

-APPLAUSE

I knew that.

Richard Hadlee, Sue.

-Richard, is he on the list?

-Sir Richard.

-Sir Richard, indeed.

Number nine. APPLAUSE

-Shaun Pollock.

-Shaun Pollock.

-Number seven.

-Quality, quality.

-APPLAUSE

Garry Sobers.

Is he on the list?

Yes! APPLAUSE

Doing very well, both teams. Getting a little tricky now.

Freddie.

You're going with Freddie Flintoff?

-Well, I've got to.

-OK, is he on the list?

No.

How can be there with the great if he's not on that list?

Cos he only took 226.

Ooh, that's harsh.

That's just mean, Sue.

-That is mean.

-Yeah.

-Shall we try him?

-Yeah, he's ten.

Yeah?

Wasim Akram.

-Nailed it.

-Is he on the list?

Course he's on the list.

No.

-No.

-What?

-He's 11th.

Hit the bar!

We're missing five.

Shane Warne wouldn't be top ten.

No? Would he be alongside Hadlee?

Shane Warne would not have scored more runs than Hadlee.

-Go on, go with it.

-Azharuddin.

Is he there, Azharuddin?

No, he's not.

Chris Cairns or Daniel Vettori.

Chris Cairns, I'd say, has got a lot.

Which one are you going with?

-Who's got more runs out of Vettori and Cairns?

-Cairns.

What would you say, Colly?

-Cairns.

-LAUGHTER

But I'd say Vettori has got more wickets.

-Yeah, Vettori's got more wickets.

-But Cairns has got more runs.

Vettori scored quite big towards... And he played for years.

Dettori... No...

-Vettori.

-You're going for Daniel Vettori?

-Daniel Vettori.

-Is he there?

Yeah!

APPLAUSE

4,531.

-Vettori, wow!

-Right.

-Can I keep going?

-Yeah!

Shall we have another go with Cairns?

200 runs... Let's have another go with Cairns.

You're going with Cairns.

No, so you are out as well.

Number ten, nobody mentioned him.

Chaminda Vaas. You did say Vaas.

And I think you had this one, too.

You almost went with it.

Shane Warne!

-There you go.

-You talked yourselves out of it.

-The only Aussie in that lot?

-Wow!

Coming to you, CJ.

What do you want - home or away?

You know Matty wants to go away.

-You know he wants to go away.

-Course he does.

Go big or go home. Do you hear that?

I'm going big. Sue, I'm going away.

Right.

Since 1994...

OK, I was alive.

Which three countries have won the men's Olympic ice hockey gold medal?

-We've definitely got to go for Canada.

-OK.

-Shall we shoot that one?

We'll shoot that one. We're going Canada for one of them.

Canada? Yeah.

-Is that right?

-I'll tell you when you give me the three.

That's harsh, that.

-She's so mean!

-Canada.

Your second one is...?

Go on, you go with the second one.

-Sweden.

-Sweden. And one more?

-USA?

-Yeah, we'll go for USA.

They play the NHL, don't they?

Yeah, they've got to have won one.

It's very strange to me that Russia and Czech haven't won one.

We haven't picked Russia yet!

Chuck Russia in there.

Might as well chuck them in the mix.

Because a lot of Russians play in the NHL, don't they?

You think Canada, Russia, Sweden?

-That doesn't sound right.

-No?

So we go, Canada, Russia, United States, then?

Or Canada, Russia, Czech?

Surely you're more decisive

-when you're driving!

-LAUGHTER

Can you not just, like... "It's a bit left, it's a bit right."

-Nailed it!

-Shall we go for Russia?

-Shall we go Russia?

-What about Finland? I'm half-Finnish.

MATT GROANS

-That could be a good call.

-They came close for sure, at least.

Did they? Go with it, go with it.

No, they're not Olympic champions.

-Sure?

-No, no, they're not.

-Three answers we need.

-I like it! I like it!

-Which three are you going with?

-We're going Canada.

-Yep.

-And?

-Sweden.

-Sweden, yep.

-Finland.

And Russia.

And Russia.

You have two points.

Finland!

Two's all right, two's all right.

Two's all right.

The two you got right was Canada and Sweden.

Oh!

So, one point on offer.

-Not Russia.

-So we think USA or Czech Republic

and we're going for USA, Sue.

Czech Republic!

-Oh!

-LAUGHTER

Are you both ready?

Yep.

I want you to name a team that Everton or Liverpool

have faced in an FA Cup final since 1960, not including each other.

-Wow!

-Sam, we'll let you go first.

Arsenal.

-Yes.

-Manchester United.

Yes.

HE GULPS

Please don't answer one!

Chelsea.

-Yes.

-Nice answer.

LAUGHTER

-Watford.

-Yes.

It's getting tough now, isn't it?

It is getting tough, yeah.

I don't know why this has come into my head,

I want to say, like, Leeds.

It is right!

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE

Let's go with Chelsea.

Repeat. It's been said. KLAXON BLARES

Yeah, I said it.

-Did she say Chelsea?

-That was Sam's second answer.

So, Sam, you get the point.

Well done! CHEERING

The other answers you could have had were Newcastle...

Newcastle?

It is time now for a game of Risk and Reward.

Matt, we're going to start with your team

and your question is on tennis.

-OK.

-Happy with that? There's a point for each correct answer,

but if you get one wrong, you will lose all your points.

-Oh, OK.

-Does everyone understand?

Since the introduction of the ATP World Rankings in 1973,

which five countries have had more than one

men's singles world number one?

-America's got to be in there.

-USA.

-Switzerland.

-Have they?

-Wawrinka.

-Has he been number one?

I think he took it once.

-Did he?

-I think so.

Sweden - Mats Wilander, Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg.

-Got to be! Got to be.

-Australia?

-Australia!

-That's good.

-Lleyton Hewitt.

Lleyton Hewitt and...

-Pat Rafter.

-Rafter!

-Must have been.

-Pat Cash.

-BOTH:

-Philippoussis!

-LAUGHTER

Remember, you lose them all if you get one wrong.

Which one will you start with?

What we really want... You had that straightaway.

Yeah, USA.

-Well done.

-OK.

We're going to go with Australia.

Is correct again.

Are we discounting Sweden

or are we happy with Sweden?

-I think...

-We'll go with Sweden.

Well done, yes, three points.

APPLAUSE

All three you mentioned from Sweden have been world number one.

-Have they?

-Yeah.

-Good work.

I like Switzerland.

Now, are you going to risk it?

You've got three points, you could lose all three.

There's something rattling around in this brain of mine that says...

I'm sure he took it for a week where he won something and then, I think,

Nadal was injured, Federer was injured, Djokovic,

-all the top sort of had had a bit of time out.

-Yes, I like it.

Go on, then. Switzerland.

No!

He has won three Grand Slams, Wawrinka,

but never been world number one.

Oh, no!

-What were you thinking?!

-LAUGHTER

-We lost everything.

-We did.

And the other ones, did you have any others that you may have gone for?

-Spain?

-Spain was right.

Germany?

No, Russia was the other one.

So you lost your three points.

-Try and sound concerned.

-Unlucky(!)

-AUDIENCE:

-Awwww!

Unlucky(!)

Matt, I'm going to ask Phil a question.

He will then write his answer down.

-Don't do this...

-Your job is to try and work out his answer.

How do you get in that head?

LAUGHTER

Believe me, there's a lot of space.

So, Phil, with a little help from your team,

I want you to write down a winner

of Super League's Grand Final since 2010.

Could you write them down for me, please?

LAUGHTER

So, which one are you going to go for, Tuffers?

Right, OK.

-MATT:

-He's going for Wigan.

He's going for Wigan all day long.

-He's going for Wigan.

-I think we'll go that, yes.

You reckon you'll go that? All right, I'll clear that.

-MATT:

-Yeah, clear it.

-Clear Wigan and put Wigan.

-LAUGHTER

-Oh, he's just changed to Leeds.

-LAUGHTER

Has he?

I thought I could hear something buzzing around in there.

Clear it again, start again, freshen up.

Done.

- Finished? - Yeah.

Where he would deem a success here would...

for him to have put Wigan

and for me to change my mind away from Wigan.

To him to then put Wigan...

-I've still got Wigan.

-You've still got Wigan?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, go for Wigan.

-Wigan.

Let's have a look...

No way!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, what did it...

I said Leeds!

The missus, the missus put you off.

He drew me in.

-It did.

-He drew me in.

He put Leeds when you said you'd put Wigan,

then he changed it to Wigan.

-Did he?

-Yes.

I had Leeds!

You've done me there. Well done.

OK, role reversal now.

So, Matt, I'd like to you write down

one of the three county cricket clubs

to end in the letters S-E-X?

Right, OK. So we have Middle...

Who I play for.

Sus.

Yes. You're going to go straight in with Middlesex.

Yep. Straight in, done.

-PHIL:

-If he's put Middlesex and double bubbled me there...

-He deserves the point.

-He deserves the point.

-He does.

-So it's got to be one of Essex and Sussex,

so I'm going to go with...

-PHIL:

-Sussex.

Sussex, Sue.

Let's have a look.

-APPLAUSE

-Oh!

I did say.

You did say you put it.

New Balls, Please,

or The Gloves Are Off.

-New Balls?

-Yeah, New Ball.

-New Balls, Please, Sue.

-OK.

How many of these three tennis stars can you name?

Oh, wow. Is that...

-That's not Sanchez...

-Vicario.

-Oh, it could be. Yeah.

-Write Sanchez Vicario at the top.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Can you write that one down? I can't spell that.

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

-Call her Vic.

-Yeah.

Isn't that a really young Martina Navratilova?

Navratilova. Very, very young Martina.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-Very young Martina

and I know that little face as well.

That little smile.

It's not Laura Robson, is it?

Yeah, I thought that,

but I don't know.

-Erm...

-Could it be the one that's just retired, Anna...

The one that's...

Actually, she's dating Bastian Schweinsteiger, the footballer.

Who's that? She's just retired.

-Anna somebody.

-OK.

Do you get Hello! Magazine?

LAUGHTER

-No, she's just retired.

-OK.

-Ana Ivanovic.

-Ivanovic.

It's ANA. It's Ana, Ana Ivanovic.

I'm pretty... Well, we've got no other choices, have we?

No. Right.

OK. We are going to go with...

The hair is Vic...

-What's her name?

-Arantxa Sanchez Vicario.

-OK.

-The eyes are Martina.

-Yep.

-And the mouth...

Ana Ivanovic.

-The lady...

-Mrs Schweinsteiger.

-Mrs Schweinsteiger.

-Potentially-to-be.

-Lovely girl.

-No, they are married now.

-Are they?

-Got married in Venice.

-That'll do, then.

-Got married in Venice.

So, yeah, Ana Schweinsteiger.

Yes, Mrs Schweinsteiger.

Yes, yes.

So let's see, are you right?

-Ivanovic.

-One point correct.

Oh! We all went for girls.

I don't think Arantxa's going to be that happy with you,

that's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

-I thought they were all girls.

-No!

Tennis stars, we said.

-I didn't even think of male.

-I thought they were all girls.

-I did.

-Heather Watson was the other one we were looking for.

So, just the one point there.

-So, Tuffers, over to your team.

-Come on, boys.

Your subject is basketball.

Ah! You're all right on basketball, you know your basketball.

Which five teams have been NBA Champions on the most occasions?

-OK.

-Since when?

-Ever.

-Since ever.

- Since time began. - Forever ever?

Yeah, those two are the most. Who are the old school?

Yeah, Boston Celtics, old school.

Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls.

Utah Jazz.

Heat, Miami Heat.

-No? Recent?

-Yeah.

Um...

I'm struggling.

-Clippers?

-No.

New York! Knicks, the Knicks!

-Not that many.

-No?

What, even back in the day?

This is forever ever, Darren!

LAUGHTER

The Knicks might be in there.

The Knicks have got to be in there.

They were legends, the Knicks.

Definitely Knicks.

Darren ain't having it.

-You reckon, one, two...

-Three...

-Five, we need.

-Yeah. One, two, three, four, five.

I'm going to stick my neck out as captain and go New York Knicks.

-Go on, then.

-Read them out cos you wrote them all down, mate.

Go on, Darren, you go for it.

-The LA Lakers.

-LA Lakers, yeah.

Boston Celtics.

-Yep.

-The San Antonio Spurs.

-Yep.

-The New York Knicks.

-OK.

-And the Chicago Bulls.

OK.

The only one that was wrong

-is the New York Knicks!

-Oh, no!

APPLAUSE

Sorry.

-New York!

-No, California.

The Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors.

Going old school. I hope you enjoyed that

and you've now got some questions

that you can test your friends and family with.

We'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.

APPLAUSE
