TV sports quiz show Question of Sport has been shelved after more than 50 years on air, the BBC has confirmed. Question of Sport was not on screens for two years in the 1970s but has remained in continuous production since 1978. The most recent team captains were GB hockey star Sam Quek and former England rugby union international Ugo Monye. The BBC said that "due to inflation and funding challenges, difficult decisions have to be made, therefore Question of Sport is currently not in production at the moment". The decision to bench Question of Sport comes just weeks after the BBC announced its flagship motoring show Top Gear would not return "for the foreseeable future".
