You quoted him out of nothing more than pure pedantry, so you could correct him on the frequency? I would call you a sad fucker....but i actually quite admire that Thank you. Actually there is a serious point here about the BBC - they should change things far more often. A vibrant, dynamic business is forever changing but the ultra conservative BBC seems alien to change which is why too much of their output is so tired. Whether that is a show like HIGNFY or presenters like the QoS bunch (not to mention Hyslop and Merton on HIGNFY; if Angus Deighton hadn’t been caught doing something naughty he’d still be presenting it). There’s loads more examples.
Agree with all of that.
It's simple really. They have a (almost literally) captive audience.
We're forced to pay for them, so they have no need to cater to the customers' desires in the way most other businesses do. They're getting paid whatever happens.
As soon as not paying your license fee is de-criminalised (or the license is done away with altogether), the Beeb could well struggle as they have a hell of a lot of catching up to do.
For the first time, they're going to have to actually try to convince the public to pay for them based on what they put out....they'll actually have to listen to what people want, instead of just telling them what they're getting. I don't know if they, as an insititution, are run by the kind of people that will like that. It certainly doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.

I’d like to see Geoff Boycott and Rodney Marsh as team captains with Frank Bruno hosting of it has to carry on😬 I’d like to see a Carry On version. Bernard Bresslaw would be a great mystery guest

Crouchie would be the perfect captain. He's already done loads of stuff for the Beeb, he's genuinely funny & plays along with having the p1ss taken out of him quite happily.
I'd predict there will be a lady captain. Has there been one before? Sam Quek would be just fine. Nicola Adams? Isa Guha?
Host's not so easy. TP's not too busy at the moment ;-)

😂😂😂😂You really couldn’t make this shit up as I predicted🙄Fuckin pathetic pandering again The success of the show will more likely be determined by choice of team captains. I do think Barker’s time was up and Dawson has stolen a living for years. Can see the ratings continuing to drop though.

Indeed and if its not a success the new team will soon get binned, havent watched QOS for 20+ years but what I've seen of her on sky she's a pretty decent pundit, seems qualified enough to read out sports questions and laugh at inane jokes / answers hardly world shattering stuff is it....

Sue Barker used to be a sportswoman, so did Alex Scott. Sue seems quite a jovial character, so does Alex... I'm failing to see the problem. (Btw, I'm of the opinion the shows probably had it's day anyway regardless)

I just think she’s fuckin useless at what she does and is very very fortunate she’s landed on her feet in the day and age of ticking the boxes on TV

Should she be a random host on live TV of the One Show? I'd suggest not, so you're right there. However, for this gig where the "presenting" is basically asking questions and introducing guests on pre recorded TV?.. I don't see a problem with that.

See Lineker has been patronising the Twitter world with his commendation of Alex Scott getting the job🙄. Saying that the BBC are saying they haven’t even offered her the job!

I remember Viz paying £5 think it was for anyone who took a photo of Rory McGrath in public. He lost the plot with them a bit.

Paddy McGuinness has been confirmed as the new presenter of QOS, with new team captains Sam Quek and Ugo Monye. www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9768059/Paddy-McGuinness-47-replace-Sue-Barker-65-Question-Sport.htmlHaving seen Monye on numerous rugby programmes I can't really see him being a good fit for QOS, and I don't know much about Quek. I haven't watched it for years, certainly not since Tuffnell joined the programme, and I won't be watching the new line up either, really can't stand McGuinness. Sam Quek is certainly much easier on the eye than Matt Dawson and Tuffnell though.
