Team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell also axed in quiz show shake-up
The
Tennis and broadcasting star Sue Barker is to leave A Question of Sport after 24 years as its host in a big shake-up of the
BBC quiz show.
The programme’s team captains, Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell, former professional rugby and
Cricket players respectively, have also been axed as part of the overhaul, which comes weeks after the BBC’s director general, Tony Hall, was succeeded in the role by Tim Davie, the former chief executive of the corporation’s commercial arm, BBC Studios.
