Two broadcasting legends come together as the country’s biggest sports fans go under the spotlight in a brand new spin-off of television’s toughest quiz.
Running on BBC Two for ten weeks in the summer, Sport Mastermind will follow the classic Mastermind formula.
Four sports fanatics will go through the black chair ordeal and face two rounds of rapid fire interrogation.
And, if that isn’t enough to satisfy even the most ardent sports fan, presiding over events will be arguably the most iconic sports broadcaster in the history of television.
Des Lynam will return to the BBC to host this series of 10 sporting contests.
Contestants will answer two minutes on a sporting specialist subject and two minutes on sporting general knowledge.
As usual there will be no cash prize for the winner, just the coveted title of Sport Mastermind 2008.
Des said: “Bearing in mind how many people are fascinated by sport, I think this programme will turn out to be a very popular complement to Mastermind, of which I have always been a great fan, and I am delighted to be involved.”
