It's being rumoured that Dianne Abbott is taking over from Sue but she wants a new desk with room for her booze. Dizzee Rascal for team captain?

I read 2 black athletes are in the running but can't remember who. Strictly will be next so hopefully we could get new presenters on there! and what about Bake off? 4 white presenters!! I bet Gart Linnaker's sweating too.

Didn't they do the same with someone off sky sports?

Matt Le Tissier says it's "time to look forward to life’s next challenge" after he was axed by Sky Sports.
The Southampton legend was a famous face on Soccer Saturday which has been one of the most popular football shows in the UK for a number of years.
But on Wednesday, it emerged that Sky have axed the presenter along with Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson.
Le Tissier was quick to give his verdict following the news, taking to Twitter to thank fans for their support over the years.

Between the three of them they have racked up about 53 years on the show. Sue Barker alone has done almost 25
About time they brought some new faces in and brightened the show up

BBC... losing money hand over fist.. Punters cancelling and not renewing their licence.. When decriminalised the offence of no TV licence... Standby for an avalanche... BBC will go into decline and the fat cats lose their income.. How sad. Don't watch BBC anyway... Can't tell the truth.. Don't report anything which may offend the multi ethnics.

show needs freshening up its gone stale,what young person under 25 knows those three presenters.

BakerBoy,
I’m sure you are correct in that it needs freshening up and I am sure the lady chosen is a very competent broadcaster with an in-depth knowledge of sport BUT I worry the change has been brought about because of the emergence of all this BLM bollox. When you add it to Soccer on Saturday’s changes it seems more than a coincidence.

Personally speaking about the show itself, not about the colour of the presenters, I have always hated it with a passion, for me it is the most boring program on TV

No Broady I am not.

Which probably explains your dislike of Question of Sport.

Absolutely

I'm surprised they haven't filled the upcoming vacancies with peadophiles the Beeb seem to have and had/have many in their ranks who they defend with a passion. BBC spent more than £28 million on staff 'gagging' pay offs.
Now Then, Now Then, How's About That then guys and gals..oh and Stuart Hall.
