As the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|title may imply]], ''[[A Question Ofof Sport]]'' is a [[Panel Show]] about sport, made by [[The BBC]].
 
The show started in 1968 and has been on continuously<ref>bear in mind the [[British Brevity]]</ref> since 1970 - the [[Long Runner|longest-running]] game show in Britain. So far, it's had nearly 900 episodes.
 
Follows the format you'd expect of panel shows, with a host, two teams (consisting of two guests and a captain) and various quiz rounds.

== Rounds ==
The rounds generally played are:
* '''Picture Board''' - Contestants pick a square from a numbered grid which will correspond to a photo of an obscured sports personality, of whom they have to guess the identity.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
* '''Home Or Away''' - Standard quiz questions. Contestants can choose "Home" questions, which are easier (usually about their own sports) but worth less, or "Away" questions, which are harder but worth more.
* '''Captain's Challenge''' - A newer round, where team captains engage in some sort of wacky challenge.

== Tropes ==
* [[The Points Mean Nothing]]: Averted, with competitive sportsmen as panellistspanelists. Less of a thing as the show has got more comedic in recent years, but the Bill Beaumont / Ian Botham era was ''very'' competitive.
