CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, and welcome to A Question Of Sport,

and a very good evening to our captains.

Matt, you're looking very happy over there with your team.

Ooh, yeah, a little bit, you know, bob and weave, a bit bouncy.

Yeah, I'm loving it over here. Loving it, yeah.

-Did you like that, like those moves?

-I did...

-Very impressive.

-Am I bob and weave or am I bouncy?

LAUGHTER

-Whatever you want to be.

-I'll be bouncy.

-Whatever you want to be.

-Tuffers, your thoughts?

One word for me, Sue, winners.

-Enough said.

-Enough said.

-Enough said.

-Enough said.

OK, fair enough. But there can only be one winning team tonight.

Let's find out who it will be.

We're going to start with the One Minute Round.

Now, just before we start,

Phil, are you sure you recognise everyone here?

Erm, yes.

'Who was the British trampolinist on her way to Olympic silver in Rio?'

Oh, I knew this was coming up when I was watching it.

-What's he doing? What's he doing?

-LAUGHTER

What's he doing? Turning the page, or something.

I'm going to have a stab at Turner.

LAUGHTER

-APPLAUSE

-I knew that.

-Thanks for that.

-You were talking to me before

about how much you've enjoyed watching Bryony,

-and then you couldn't remember her name!

-I couldn't, the...

the duvet of stupidity came over me as usual.

It'll be so different today, though, James and Keri-Anne, don't worry.

No, the country we were looking for was France.

-Oh, France.

-Oh!

Anyway, good start from both teams.

Phil is on eight,

but Matt in front on nine.

APPLAUSE

It is time for Sports Action next,

and you'll need to make a note of the sports stars you see.

-COMMENTATOR:

-New Zealand relentless again.

Oh, a lovely offload, men are out there, the try is there.

Full in, full out tuck.

Pike now, kick out - double pike kick out.

Full in, full out finish.

A little bit of travel.

Look at this scrap for silver, bronze and fourth.

And it's the Brazilian in there.

Goes Fonte with a header.

And Fonte with the goal!

Jose Fonte, the Southampton captain.

Toss one to the end zone, or a quick out route

to try to get in field goal range.

It looks like they're going to go deep to the end zone.

Down the field,

and it is deflected and...

Go on! Touch down!

AJ Green!

You will now take it in turns to answer a question worth one point.

And if you get it right, you'll have the chance to gamble

on another question for another point.

Get it wrong, though, and you will end with nothing.

So, Matt, we're going to start with your team,

and first up, it's trampolining.

Who was on her way to an Olympic silver medal?

Um, that was Karen Cockburn.

It was. Of Canada. Well done.

Well done.

So you've got a point, do you want to risk going ahead

for another question for an extra point?

-Should I go for it?

-Yes.

-Oh, like it!

Come on. Come on, Bryony Turner.

-Come on!

-LAUGHTER

-You've got this.

-I knew Bryony.

-Yeah, let's risk it. Let's go for it.

-OK.

-Yeah.

Which of her countrymen matched her by winning men's silver

at the same Olympics?

Yeah, it's Jason Burnett.

-It is Jason Burnett. Well done.

-Well done.

-OK, Phil, over to you now.

-Yes.

-Your question is on Rugby Union.

-Let's go.

Who was scoring the try against Scotland?

-Conrad Smith.

-It was. Yes.

All right, good work.

So are you going to gamble for a second point?

-What do you reckon?

-Well, what's your...?

You can play safe, you've got a point.

-It's whether you want to risk...

-It's up to you, mate.

-You're team captain.

-Come on, I reckon you know your stuff.

-Yeah, let's have a go.

-Come on, let's have a go. Come on. Eyes down.

Conrad played for which Super Rugby side for 11 years?

-Hurricanes.

-Yes, he did.

Back to you now, Matt. We've got boxing.

Who was in action at the Olympics?

It was Roy Jones Jr.

It was, so that's one point.

-It seems a while ago, that, doesn't it?

-I'd say.

-'88?

-'88, yeah.

-Do you want to gamble for two, Anthony?

-Shall we go for it?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

-Let's do it.

-Yep.

-Doing it, right.

Roy Jones Jr has fought four British fighters in his professional career.

Name either of the men he has beaten.

Clinton Woods, he beat him.

Clinton Woods he beat, yes, or Courtney Fry was the other one.

-Courtney Fry.

-Well done, you get two points.

That was all right.

Over to you, Phil. Swimming.

-Yep.

-Who did you see claiming Olympic open water bronze in Rio?

Poliana Okimoto.

-Yes, it was.

-Good work.

-Well done.

One in the bag.

I don't think I've got a choice.

-No.

-Everybody's done it.

-So you're going to go on, are you?

-Yeah, yeah.

-In which city...

-Oh, no.

-..did Okimoto win

her only world championship gold medal?

It was Rome, and then it was Shanghai,

and then we had the Olympics which was in Beijing...

No, 2012, that was London.

Beijing with '08.

And then after London...

Oh, got it, finally!

-It was Rome... Not Rome! Barcelona.

-LAUGHTER

It was Barcelona!

It was Barcelona!

CHEERING

Matt, your last one is on football.

-Oh.

-Ooh.

-Was it?

-Yes.

You saw Jose Fonte scoring for Southampton in the Premier League,

but which country did he play for at the 2016 European Championships?

I love the way you just leant in there.

-Portugal?

-Was he?

-Love that. Go for it.

-I think.

Portugal.

Yes, it is!

-Oh, come on!

-Well done!

Now, are you going to gamble?

I think we should maybe...

-OK. Mmmm.

-Ooh.

How confident are you?

-If we get it...

-Yeah.

-..then we go into the next round

-and if Tuffers gets his two, point up.

-Yeah.

If we lose it, we've got a point down.

A point down, that's not that big. A point up, mentally...

-LAUGHTER

-I think Keri-Anne's a bit fragile.

She struggled with the Barcelona one,

I think her confidence is rocked.

I say we go for it. Let's go for it.

Right, we're going for it! We're going for it.

CHEERING

-Come on.

-We're going for it.

We're going for it. What have we done there?

You're going to have a great coaching career,

I tell you, when you want to - motivational.

Positive thinking there.

OK, who was Fonte's centre back partner in the Euro 2016 final?

LAUGHTER

-Aah.

-Oh, Bryony's in.

Oh, no, I've got it. I think I know.

-Do you?

-Well, yeah.

This one. Him.

Unless he was suspended,

which is quite likely cos he's a bit of a hothead, but...

Is he a defender? I mean, I have heard of him.

-Yeah, yeah, I think...

-The only other Portuguese defender I know...

-Ooh, actually... Yeah.

-I might be embarrassing myself here, but...

-Yeah, he's about 90, but...

-Yeah. I doubt...

-I can't even spell his name.

-It's between one of them two.

-Let's look if Sue gives anything away.

-I won't.

-We've got Pepe...

-Mm-hm.

LAUGHTER

-..or Carvalho.

-OK, yeah.

-Carvalho.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-One of those two.

-It's not him, I don't think.

-One of those two.

-I think Pepe would start

because he plays for Real Madrid and he's good,

and Carvalho is a bit old,

but he's a bit of a hothead and he does get suspended.

-Hey, let's go for it.

-It was your gut feeling.

-It was your instinct.

-Let's go with Pepe.

-One of them's right.

-Argh!

You went with the...

right one!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, Anthony.

-So finally for your team, Tuffers...

-American Football.

-..you've got NFL.

-Yes.

AJ Green was scoring a touchdown, but for which team?

-Cincinnati Bengals.

-Yes, it was.

-Woo!

-Yes, it was.

-Are you going to go?

-Pretty good... We're not bad.

-We know a bit of stuff.

-We know a little bit.

-When we say "we"...

-Oh, well, sorry!

Just put it all on me, then.

Well, yeah, there you go. What do you fancy?

-Come on, let's have a go. Come on.

-Yeah, why not? Yeah, we're going.

Which quarterback threw the touchdown pass?

-Andy Dalton.

-Yes, it was!

Very good.

-Two great teams tonight.

-Yeah.

-What a round that was.

End of the round, Phil's on 14,

Matt's in front on 15.

This round is on the buzzer and everyone is in play.

On the screen you will see a picture that will slowly reveal.

The quicker you buzz in, the more points you can win.

But be careful - if you buzz in and get it wrong,

your team are frozen out.

Fingers on the buzzers. Here comes your first one.

A gymnast.

BELL RINGS

Claudia Fragapane.

Yes, it is. Well done.

APPLAUSE

You buzzed in and that's two points.

Well done. Back on the buzzer. Here we go.

Basketball.

BUZZER

-Steph Curry.

-Yes, it is.

APPLAUSE

Two points also.

Here's this one.

I think that's a goalkeeper.

BELL RINGS

David De Gea.

Yes, it is!

APPLAUSE

Another two-pointer.

So, who's this?

High jump.

BELL RINGS

-Johnson-Thompson. Katarina.

-Yes, it is, Katarina.

APPLAUSE

Well, you did well in that round, Matt, didn't you?

What a team!

I think I've found the most competitive people in the world.

Unbelievable!

End of that round,

Phil's on 16 but now Matt's in front on 20.

APPLAUSE

Now it's a choice of a home question or an away question.

Bryony, coming to you first.

So, Home or Away?

-Can I stick with home?

-Oh...

I'll stick with home, please.

Since 2010, which woman has won two individual world golds,

along with two bronze medals?

OK, I'll go with Li Dan.

Yes, Li Dan of China.

APPLAUSE

And, James, coming to you. Home or Away?

A possible three points.

-We've got to go away.

-We've got to go away.

-OK.

-Come on, 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, I've got one. Bournemouth.

-West Bromwich. Eh?

-Burnley, were they in?

-Burnley? Not a bad shout.

-Leicester.

-Leicester?

-Leicester, have they been in an FA Cup final?

Last 50 years.

That's a long time!

That is a long time.

Hull. Oh, Hull was in against Arsenal.

-We beat them 3-2.

-Swansea.

-That's a great shout.

-Oh...

That's a great shout!

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

I mean, it might be wrong, because I wasn't around 50 years ago!

I think we've done all right.

So you're happy with that? Which are the ones you...?

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 AND APPLAUSE

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

I've got no idea about football, as well.

-Boom, two, nailed it!

-Right answer, well done.

OK, Anthony, I don't know which way this is going to go.

Home or Away?

-Going to go away, Sue.

-You're going away! I knew you would!

SOME APPLAUSE I knew you would.

Mixed applause there. Mixed applause.

Name the three countries to have won the most

Winter Olympic snowboarding medals.

Oh, come on, Sue!

It's an away one.

They get football and we get...

Yeah, but 50 years ago.

Is this, like, including cross and half-pipe and...

-freestyle?

-You lost me at half.

Snowboarding...

OK, we'll go... I think we're all confident in the USA and Canada.

OK.

Between here and these two.

-So these three.

-OK, we've both...

-And you don't mind that?

-No, I don't mind.

So we'll go with Germany.

Germany. You have got one...

Oh, just one.

-USA was correct.

-That was a tough one.

Sweden, Italy, France, Japan.

You've been on fire so far, team.

What do you fancy? What do you fancy?

Do you fancy a bit of France?

-Yeah, I think so.

-Yeah.

-Let's try France, Sue.

Yes! Well done!

APPLAUSE

He's on fire today!

Wow!

Yeah, France were third, USA first.

Canada were fourth, so you just missed out.

The one you didn't get was Switzerland.

-It was an option.

-So, Keri-Anne, Home or Away?

Shall we just get within a point or should we try and take the lead?

I don't know.

We said at the beginning we're all away, so let's go away.

-Go on.

-Away.

-Away.

-Oh, no!

Since 1980...

-Oh, no.

-..which three British athletes

have won an individual men's Olympic 100m or 200m medal?

Allan Wells.

Allan Wells...

Linford Christie.

-Linford Christie.

-Yeah.

And...

I think it's Darren Campbell.

I don't know.

-Well, listen, that's all we've got.

-Yeah.

Sue - Allan Wells, Linford Christie, Darren Campbell.

-Three points.

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We're in the lead!

CHEERING

-What a round!

-Still a way to go yet.

Yeah, a long way to go.

OK, captains, I've called in some help from a few

of the world's best tennis players for the next question.

Take a look at this.

Hi, it's Kei. I've got a question.

Roger Federer has won...

..the ATP World Finals six times.

Who are the other eight players that have won it...

..on more than one occasion?

So, thanks to Kei Nishikori, Marin Cilic,

Dominic Thiem and Gael Monfils for providing the question.

To recap, you need to name the eight players, other than Roger Federer,

to have won the ATP World Tour Finals more than once.

This is the year-ending championship and it started in 1970.

-Wow.

-You're going to take it in turns to give me your answer

and, Matt, as you are now one behind, you get to go first.

The players who have won it more than once.

Novak Djokovic.

Is right.

APPLAUSE

-Over to you.

-Pete Sampras, Sue.

You're going for Pete.

Yes, Pete is there.

APPLAUSE

-John McEnroe.

-You're going for Mac.

Yes, he's on the list.

Three wins.

APPLAUSE

-Got to be.

-Yeah.

-Got to be.

-Andre Agassi.

-Going for Andre.

No! He's not on the list.

Right, OK, what about him?

Oh, surely! Surely.

-Great shout.

-Yeah?

He must be. Got to be.

-Bjorn Borg.

-You're going for Bjorn.

Yes.

APPLAUSE

Boom Boom. Boom Boom, Sue. Boom Boom Becker.

Going for Boris.

Yes. Boris is there.

APPLAUSE

One more guess each.

-Were you thinking this one?

-Yeah.

Yeah, you like that one?

-Do you like that one?

-You wrote that one down.

-I did.

We've all written that one down, so we're going to go Rafa Nadal.

You're going for Rafa.

No!

Oh!

He's not.

He's a legend.

It's one of these two.

-Who have you got?

-Jim Courier or Ivan Lendl,

and I am going to go with the legend that they both are...

with...

-..Lendl.

-Ivan?

-Ivan.

Yes!

APPLAUSE

-Good effort.

-You went with the right one, because Courier is not there.

The two we were looking for, going back a bit,

Ilie Nastase,

and the other one is Lleyton Hewitt.

Oh!

Yeah, Lleyton Hewitt.

End of the round - Matt is on 25, Phil is in front on 26.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We're now going to play Head To Head and, Matt,

we are going to start with your team.

You will see two pieces of action.

On the left, Jack Wilshere has just received the ball

en route to scoring the 2013-14 goal of the season,

and on the right, Bryony is getting ready to perform her

silver medal-winning routine in Rio. But which happens first?

Does Wilshere score or does Bryony complete her routine?

-Oh!

-My routine's about 17.01.

-I'm joking!

-Just about.

It's 17.01 seconds?

It was 16.2 time of flight, which...

Add on about three seconds of that. So that's...

Why do you have to add on three seconds?

Because it doesn't take into account the depression of the trampoline.

-The boing.

-So it just times in... So it's like goal-line technology,

it measures when you're in the air

and then when you hit the trampoline, it stops.

And then that time isn't taken into account, only that time.

-Wow.

-So it's added in.

-Did you know that?

-No.

-Did you know that?

-No!

So, I'm going to go with the 16 plus...

three and half seconds.

Right, so, 19.5 seconds we've got.

-I know this was a brilliant goal.

-Yeah.

I'm a Norwich City fan and it was one of those ones where

you've got to stand up and clap, because the goal was that good.

They were pinging it around for, like, ages.

They're pretty swift, Arsenal, with moving the ball.

-Yeah.

-So I think...

-Longer.

..they're going to be quicker.

-So how long?

-Quicker than 19 seconds?

-I think so. I think it's...

-OK.

-Having a knock around...

Are you happy with quicker than 19 seconds?

-Yeah.

-So you're going with Jack Wilshere.

-We're going with Jack.

-You're going with Jack.

-OK, let's have a look.

-Take your time here, Bryony!

Take your time. Come on, Bryony.

Take your time!

Slow down, girl!

Slow down!

Just get the goal in.

Shoot!

Very good. Very good.

Calm down. Someone tackle him!

Oh, now I'm near the end. Near the end.

Go on, then! Score it! Yes!

Yes, you've got it!

APPLAUSE

You're that far away from the trampoline!

Is that the difference?

-Yes!

-No, it's not.

It is. That's why the green light comes up.

I'm really glad I hit PB time of flight there,

otherwise it would have been...

You'd have been in trouble.

So, you get the point there.

OK, Phil, your team has got action from 2009.

-Yeah.

-Usain Bolt is in the blocks

before his world record 100m run at the World Championships in Berlin,

and Australia are about to start a move that ends with James

scoring a try against Wales.

Who are you backing to cross the line first?

-Blimey!

-James against Usain Bolt.

-I know the try.

-Have you beaten Usain Bolt?

No!

This would be a hell of a thing.

I'm going to have to say Usain.

I reckon we're longer than ten seconds.

-You reckon you're longer than ten seconds?

-Yeah.

-Go on, then, we'll go with that.

-You're going with Bolt, then?

-You're going with Bolt?

-Yeah.

-OK. Let's have a look.

-Come on. Come on, Usain.

-Get there.

Run, run!

-Oh, you've tossed it.

-Here it is.

Go on, Usain!

Run!

No!

APPLAUSE

That was close.

You've just got to work on your pace, James, just a little bit.

Anyway, great round.

At the end of that, Matt has moved on to 26, Phil on front on 27.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's going to be a tense finish.

The final round is On The Buzzer.

So it's fingers at the ready, and remember,

it's a point if you get it right,

but it's a point away if you buzz in and get it wrong.

Here we go.

APPLAUSE

I'll tell you,

It was absolutely fantastic.

You all did brilliantly, but well done to Matt's team anyway.

And a huge thank-you to all of our guests - to James, to Keri-Anne,

to Bryony and Anthony.

And the three of us will be back very soon.

Until then, from all of us here, goodnight.

APPLAUSE
