A Question of Sport will have notched up 40 years next month, making it the longest-running sports quiz in British TV history.
Recorded at 3sixtymedia studios at Granada Television for the BBC, it’s had just 3 presenters during its lifetime - David Vine, David Coleman and Sue Barker.
A special episode has been recorded, for transmission on January 8th using some of the archive material from the 890 shows since it started on January 5th, 1970.
"It's a pleasure and a privilege to work on such a fantastic programme and to be part of this remarkable occasion,” said Sue Barker.
The current series has drawn an average of 3.6m viewers.
Some pub quiz facts: the first team captains were boxer Henry Cooper and Welsh rugby union star, Cliff Morgan. The first guests were George Best, Ray Illingworth, Lillian Board and Tom Finney.
