Have I Got News For You goes sport-themed with Jason Manford

The usual political offering is given a sporty make-over…

As 2025 begins, the team behind BBC One’s long running panel show Have I Got News For You bring viewers a roundup of all of 2024’s biggest sporting stories and personalities.

Jason Manford hosts, with Maisie Adam and Jon Richardson as team captains and joining them are boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, Olympic Heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Paralympic Cyclist Kadeena Cox and England fast-bowling legend, Stuart Broad.

“Maybe this could be a format for a longer running spin-off to fill the void left by the pointless reimaging of A Question of Sport, which of course saw the show axed when its youth-aiming new look turned everyone off. As the late Sir Terry Wogan once said of the BBC, ‘if it isn’t broken, they’ll find a way to break it.’ And let’s face it you just don’t see Jason Manford on telly enough.” – TV Critic Vivian Summers

The one-off special, Have I Got Sport For You, airs on January 3rd at 8.30pm on BBC One.
