The story is pretty much encapsualted in the headline. They’re doing a live tour of “A Question Of Sport” and if you can make out the writing on the flyer then you can see where and when it is.

I always think AQoS gets a bit overlooked and taken for granted; it’s such a fixture that we tend to forget it’s one of the biggest quiz shows in Britain, it’s seen off all its imitators and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t rack up its half-century. Not that I actually watch it, though…

Interesting thought. As AQoS is pretty fundamentally a half-hour show, I wonder what the live show will be like. At a guess, they might have the stars tell stories in the first half and then play the game in the second half; alternatively, they might just have a really long game with seventeen rounds that ends up decided by the odd point in 181.
Given that it’s a show, as in show business, I wonder if there is anything to stop them making the competition as rigged to provide an exciting conclusion as pro wrestling?
we went to the evening show at Newcastle it was good fun however we were promised goody bags-prizes-pyrotechnics and got nothing.
where did these free gifts go and why no pyroetechnics?
