Host Paddy McGuinness was back to ask the questions and oversee the various challenges on BBC’s Question of Sport. Joining Sam Quek were gymnast Claudia Fragapane and former motorcycle racer James Toseland. Meanwhile Ugo Monye had football star Carlton Cole and badminton player Gail Emms.
Paddy was confident there were strong teams on the show and they started with Have a Word.
Sam’s team were off to a good start and they got a few letters in the bag to make up an anagram.
Ugo’s team managed to get most of their letters and they managed to complete the anagram, putting his team in the lead.
Viewers were not enjoying the choice of panellists and they took to Twitter to vent their frustration.
“I remember watching it when I was 10, maybe younger, watching it with my family and my nan would be in the corner.
“The generation gap is massive, and I think that reflects massively in us three, because the different backgrounds we’re from and what our strengths are.”
Sue Barker stepped down from her role as host in 2020, having been part of the show for 24 years.
Her departure came as the BBC decided it wanted to rebrand the show.
Question of Sport airs on BBC One on Fridays at 7.30pm
