A Question Of Sport

Can't remember Ivan being a mystery guest, but I do remember Erik Gundersen being the mystery guest when Hans Nielsen was on the panel.

 

Also football referee Uriah Rennie was once the mystery guest having a go at Speedway at Sheffield.

 

Trying to remember riders who have been on the QoS panel. I can recall Peter Collins, Hans Nielsen, Gary Havelock, Mark Loram & Jason Crump and I think Jan O Pedersen may have been on.

I also have a vague memory of either Dennis Sigalos or Bobby Schwartz being on, but I'm not totally sure.

 

it was Bobby Scwartz. Kenny Carter and Dave Jessup have been on. Dont remember Jan O being on, or PC to be honest but it seems unlikely that he wouldn't have been on

PC was on the 28 Jan 1980 Episode (according to IMdb).

How could I have forgotten Carter and Jessup!

P.C. was definitely on. Not sure about Jan O.

 

 

Couple of extra thoughts. Were Michael Lee and Kelvin Tatum ever on? Don't think Lee was, but Tatum could have been?

Except it was Robbie Kessler and Simon Stead doing the riding. On different bikes, with different kevlars. A poor effort by the BBC.

Didn't American Bobby Ott appear on it?!

Whilst we are on the subject of speedway riders on the tele does anyone remember 'Superstars' (hope it was called that!) back in the 80's I think. Dave Jessup, Bruce Penhall and I'm pretty sure Peter Collins as well took part in that. I've still got some black/white photos of Bruce, which I also downloaded to one of my Speedway albums on Facebook, taken back in the day when he was young, blonde and handsome. :wink:

Indeed Gemini. Peter Collins finished second to Hans Van Helden in his heat in 1977, not long before the injury that ruined his world final chances

Peter Collins certainly appeared on Superstars and did very well.

As far as I can recall he was the only speedway rider to appear on it. Fairly sure Jessup and Penhall didn't.

 

Jessup was on a golf programme though. Either Pro-Celebrity Golf, or Around with Alliss

Dave Jessup is a near regular on the ProAms and ProCeleb circuit for TV. He was always on the Bobby Robson ones for example. I believe after speedway he was county standard at Golf.

Trying to think which riders I have seen on QOS, I'm sure there have been a few. Certainly Kenny Carter and Hans Nielsen. Hans got the winning answer on his appearance (and it was a football question!)

 

I try to avoid the programme now, it's like a scripted comedy show.

So presumably you never watch Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Vicar of Dibley etc as they are all scripted comedy shows. Mmm? Odd reason for not watching something which is, after all, a light hearted quizshow. It's not Mastermind or University challenge.

Bruce Penhall did appear in Superstars.

Back in 1982 he missed his first ride in the Golden Hammer at Cradley because he was late arriving after filming his episode that afternoon.
