A Question of Sport

A Question of Sport: Super Saturday (often shortened to Super Saturday) is a British television programme which was a spin-off from the long-running quiz show A Question of Sport.

Super Saturday was hosted by comedian Jason Manford,[1] with Helen Skelton on pre-recorded rounds, and began airing on 21 June 2014 on BBC One. The show received a large amount of negative reviews from critics, and after just one series it was cancelled.
