A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN! Sky 1's All New Comedy Quiz Show

[Geez]

Starts Thursday 11 March 21.00 Sky1 HD & Sky1

The squads are confirmed and it’s kick-off time on Sky1 HD’s brand new comedy quiz show.

BAFTA®-winning Gavin & Stacey star James Corden referees the wacky challenge of sporting knowledge as two teams of comedians, sports stars, and celebrity sports fans compete against each other. Across three rounds, the teams’ sporting knowledge is put to the ultimate test.

This first episode kicks off the series with an hour-long special featuring world heavyweight boxing champion David Haye, and the voice of Bob the Builder and man behaving badly, Neil Morrissey. It’s red v blue, Redknapp v Flintoff, and no one wants to be on the losing side. Who’ll have the last laugh and claim victory, proving they’re truly in a league of their own?

Guests confirmed to appear in the rest of the series include Amir Khan, Jimmy Carr, Alastair Campbell, Ruth Jones, Claudia Winkleman, Matt Le Tissier, Dara O’Briain and Steve Harmison.

In a game of two halves, A League Of Their Own is all about banter and gags as this exciting new format embraces Sky’s proud sporting pedigree to create a back-of-the-net winner.

I can't belive nobody's thought to do a comedy, sports-based, celebrity quiz show before. Why couldn't the BBC think of an exciting new format like this?





Claudia Winkelman? :???:

I think Claudia Winkleman is hot but she is such a quiz show whore, she always seems to be on them. What does she even do? It might be okay so i'll watch the first one tonight.

I have a feeling her sister is Big Suze from Peep Show. I'm just thinking about those two together, in the same room ...

I would watch it if anyone other than that twat was hosting it, he isn't funny IMO, in anything he has done.

i know this is general football, but isn't it just a bit too general?

I did like him as Smithy but that show he did with Yiddo Matt Horne was atrocious
