Following phenomenal ticket sales and rapturous reviews, BBC ONE's A Question of Sport is to hit the road again for a second UK tour. To meet unprecedented demand, the UK’s longest running and most popular sports quiz will embark upon a 22-date UK tour across all major cities from the 22nd October- 20th November 2011. The tour will span across 22 dates with several new cities added for 2011.

After entertaining millions of viewers every week BBC ONE’s A Question of Sport hit a record-breaking 932nd episode earlier this year after over 40 years on air. The idea to take the live-show on the road was developed to meet fans insatiable demand to get up close and personal with the show.  The live tour provides fans with a chance to witness this much loved TV show in an exhilarating live environment.

Although largely sticking to the small-screen format, the tour is more than just a live version of the show. Over 30 big name sports stars with regional connections will be added as panellists and there will be exciting and electrifying live and interactive rounds where team captains and panellists can really engage with the audience. On the last tour sporting legends including Ian Botham, Tim Henman, Peter Shilton, Robbie Savage, Dennis Taylor, Tom Daley, Amy Williams and Colin Jackson became rock stars for the night switching sports-grounds for arenas and performing to thousands of overjoyed fans.

Translating the TV show into a theatre setting has also allowed the team to add some exciting new twists and surprises to the show. Audience members become part of the action, directly posing questions to the teams and getting involved in some of the rounds.. There is also a referee to keep the lively teams in order.
