Super Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Seems a weird combination! Never heard of Sam Quek. Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuinness is to replace Sue Barker as host of BBC game show A Question of Sport. The star, who is also known for Take Me Out and I Can See Your Voice, said taking the hot seat on the long-running quiz was "an honour and opportunity I'm certainly not taking lightly". The programme will also get two new team captains for its 51st series. Hockey player Sam Quek and rugby star Ugo Monye will take over from Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell.

Lrrr Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Sam Quek and Ugo Monye as new captains, not overly sold on Paddy as the host as I'd have kept it to a sportsman, will probably go down the 'banter' route now but the captains should be decent enough for regulars.

Lrrr Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Just seen you started this a while ago, I looked for the words Paddy McGuinness rather than question of sport My worry with Paddy as host is they'll go down the 'banter' direction. Sam Quek is pretty well known after her Olympic win she's often on radio and TV and a pretty good choice in my opinion, think she easily could have been host. Ugo Monye again is a pretty solid choice, I've seen him appear of QoS several times and he's been good, also appears on Fighting Talk I believe on the radio and is good on that.

Admin phantom Posted July 8, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I've always been puzzled how Sam Quek managed to get on so many TV and radio shows since the Olympic win and nobody else from that winning team has been seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I might be the only person who really doesn’t like Paddy McGuiness. I just think he’s a gobby northerner with limited talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's bad on a show like Top Gear where there are multiple presenters for him to bounce off but I think as a singular host he'll be poor on a show like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.Red Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 I’d rather it was someone with a sporting background either as a player, manager or sports journalist. Q of S is unique, I don’t want it turned into just another game show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive bolt-ons and her face is about 5/10. Still, each to their own! Sam Quek on the other hand is a stunner! No need for plastic surgery and slap on for her.

TMWANG50 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 With that lineup I'm sure it will be soon lost to BBC3. I had to Google the rugby player hadn't come across his name before, the BBC seem to love Quek and Paddy they fit their new northern profile well..
