A Question of Sport

Biography

Presenter of sports quiz A Question of Sport for something like 18 series. Anchor, lynchpin and safety blanket of the BBC's sports output since time immemorial until he retired after the Sydney 2000 games, his 16th Olympics. Thanks to his idiosyncrasies (and if you think we're typing that word ever again you're sadly mistaken) he was much parodied by satire-meets-latex fest Spitting Image, usually centering around his fondness for the word 'eeeeeerrererer'.

Trivia
