As the title may imply, Question of Sport (known before 2021 as A Question of Sport) is a Panel Show about sport, made by The BBC.The show started with a pilot episode, broadcast only in Northern England, in December 1968. It has been on "continuously"note  bear in mind the British Brevity; also, no series were aired in 1973 or 1978 since going national on 5 January 1970 - the longest-running game show in Britain. As of its most recently completed series in 2022, it's aired 1,330 episodes.Follows the format you'd expect of panel shows, with a host, two teams (consisting of two guests and a captain) and various quiz rounds.

What Happened Next? - Sporting footage is played and contestants will have to figure out what hilarity ensued. No longer played as of 2021.

Long Runner: It first aired in 1968 as a pilot, started its run in 1970, and after interruptions in 1973 and 1978 has been airing continuously since 1979. Despite its longevity, it has had four main presenters: David Vine (1970-1977), David Coleman (1979-1997), Sue Barker (1997-2021), and Paddy McGuinness (2021-present).

The Points Mean Nothing: Averted, with competitive sportsmen as panellists. Less of a thing as the show has got more comedic in recent years, but the Bill Beaumont / Ian Botham era was very competitive.

Crossover: The series crossed over with its more raucous comedy counterpart, They Think It's All Over, in 2002 and 2004 for Sport Relief. Sue Barker captained the Question of Sport team for both specials, accompanied by Ally McCoist and John Parrott in 2002 and by Ally again and Frankie Dettori in 2004. Rounds imported from A Question of Sport for both specials included the Picture Board, "What Happened Next?", and the One-Minute Round.
