The Sports Quiz with Steve Davis
Synopsis
We don't remember this these days, but Channel 4 didn't get national coverage until 1989. As a result of this, ITV didn't let its protégé share in its rights to that quintessential 80s television game, snooker. All C4 got was a sports quiz, hosted by champion of just about everything, Steve Davis. Five contestants faced general knowledge sports questions. Three were quizzed on their specialist subject. Two went into a head-to-head, picking one question from each of sixteen categories. Winners went through to the series final.
