They Think It's All Over

on BBC One London

The first in a six-part light-hearted sports quiz umpired by Nick Hancock.
Ex-England captains Gary Lineker and David Gower compete in a game of wit and sporting knowledge, assisted by comedians Rory McGrath and Lee Hurst.

David Gower, Nick Hancock and Gary Lineker get the taste for sporting questions in They Think It's All Over

They Think It's All Over 10.25pm BBC1
Although this new sporting quiz had not been filmed when Radio Times went to press, it is expected to be more Have I Got News for You than Question of Sport.
Nick Hancock shuts the door on Room 101 to be umpire and David Gower and Gary Lineker (who apparently surprised everyone with his wit during the pilot) are the captains. Despite the involvement of two serious athletes, the games are downright flippant. With rounds entitled Feel the Sportsman (which involves doing just that), and Photofit (working out a composite celebrity face) it is obviously unnecessary to be a sports fanatic to enjoy this offbeat fixture. It may even be an advantage if you're not.
