Question Of Sport

[saintpeter48]

I see the BBC have decided to satisfy the WOKE brigade with its selection of the host and team captains for the new series of QoS, Paddy McGuinness, Sam Quek and Ugo Monye.

I don't get it.

How does that line up 'satisfy the woke brigade'???

[Lie-in King]

IMO, all three are good choices -

I'm looking forward to the programme's return.

Show how much I know about sport.

Thought Sam Quek was a bloke!

[Arksided]

I heard that Alex scott had being suggested (Pundid ex-footballer) who I thought would've being far better choice than Paddy... even though I do like him.

[archibaldy]

Time to put my foot through the television and send the BBC the bill.

[Mamyalynne]

Good choices.

Well done Paddy.

[Canary42]

What a silly post.

[Mamyalynne]

Why not donate your TV to someone who can't afford one Archibald instead of wanton waste.

[emmie]

i use to watch this programme religiously, i won't be now. Can't stand Paddy McGuinness.

[bednobs]

have to say i feel the same way about PMG.
im very interested to hear about a lancashire woke agenda though!

[Mamyalynne]

He'd roar laughing at the very notion of being that word (I can't say it without sounding like a chicken laying a square egg).

[sp1814]

I've liked Paddy since he was in Phoenix Nights with Peter Kaye, but not enough to watch QoS (or indeed Take Me Out or Top Gear).

[Mamyalynne]

Even I drew the line at Take me out - daft format.

[New Judge]

The last time I accidentally caught a glimpse of QoS, I spied Phil Tufnell effortlessly making himself look a buffoon. The last time I actually watched it, David Coleman was in the chair with Bill Beaumont and Willie Carson as team captains.

I've no idea who the three people mentioned are. That probably confirms their "woke" credentials (and denies me mine).

Just confirms your ignorance of certain sports, NJ. Sam Queck is an Olympic Gold Medalist along with the rest of her hockey team mates. Ugo Monye is an ex-England rugby player who played for Harlequins until 2015. And no doubt Paddy McGuinness has watched quite a bit of sport :-/

"That probably confirms their "woke" credentials (and denies me mine)."

Narcissism much...

[royfromaus]

Can you put a bit more meat on the bone, saint p?

I've no idea what your thinking is on this one.

[Mamyalynne]

As points go, it's positively skeletal in my book.
