  • After receiving so many requests after uploading the VHS opening, here is the full episode of They Think It's All Over: No Holds Barred. This special edition was never shown on TV, only released on VHS in 1996. This is the only They Think It's All Over episode I have so please don't send me requests.

    What I find amazing is that so many people had video players in the 90's, but no-one to date has been able to provide the early seasons on CZcams, when this show was at its finest, with the dynamic between Gower/Hurst and Lineker/McGrath so refreshingly funny. Ross WAS funny when he took over from Hurst, but something was lost a little. I would dearly adore the first three or four series of this show in full, and if anyone reading this has them on an old dusty VHS, POST IT UP! PLEASE!

      From a round of Author Author in a Series 6 episode (1998) where somebody wrote about getting David Gower's autograph when they were younger and it having a "profound effect" on them (turned out it was David's teammate Roger Black)...
      Annabel Croft: We've got to work out how this person is. How old's David?
      David: _[Sweeping what remains of his hair flirtingly]_ ...How old do I look?
      Nick: I don't know but he fought in the First World War!
      Annabel: Well what age would this person be? We've got to think of somebody young.
      David: _[under Annabel]_ Er... 41. 41 and feeling good.
      Phill Jupitus: Yes, but he's 41 in badger years.

      Ah, they call it "Selling ice cream in winter.". It's a dirty tactic, often used by TV stations, to justify axing an actually popular show. Although They Think It's All Over was a big success for the BBC, it was a threat to A Question Of Sport. It was actually the more popular show, for a while. AQOS started to look creaky and old fashioned, by comparison, so it had to copy TTIAO to survive. It worked, but it resulted in there being two very similar shows competing with each other on home turf. If you axe one, the other becomes stronger by gaining most of the others' former viewers. So the BBC started to deliberately put TTIAO in dodgy and inconsistent slots, whilst simultaneously putting AQOS in prime positions. Then they justify axing TTIAO by pointing out that it isn't very popular anymore. Which is the same as trying to justify that ice cream isn't popular, because you've deliberately sold it in winter when fewer people want it.

    I think this is the only time where all three team members got in on the action in Feel the Sportsman.
    The only other times the guests - by which I don't mean guest captains - getting in on the action are:
    -Series 1 Episode 3 (first TX 28/09/1995) where Jo Brand took Rory McGrath's place alongside Gary Lineker to use all her senses bar sight to identify equestrian Lucinda Green. When Gary clocked on that their guest was female by accidentally groping one of Green's breasts, Nick remarked "Now you can understand why we couldn't let Rory go up there!"
    -Series 2 Episode 2 (first TX 19/03/1996) where Sharron Davies joined Rory in identifying former athlete Derek Redmond (Sharron's then-husband), with Rory using almost the whole round to move in on Sharron. Bob Mills was due to take part with Lee Hurst, but had a claustrophobia attack as soon as the guest (a Gary Lineker Subbuteo figurine) was brought on stage, so David had to do the game instead.
    -Series 6 Episode 4 (first TX 03/12/1998) where Gabby Logan (then Gabby Yorath) declared she wanted to play the game, so she played in David Gower's place alongside Jo Brand to feel up Commonwealth Games gold medal winning fencer James Williams, and Pauline McLynn took Gary's place alongside Rory to touch up female wrestler Klondyke Kate.
    -Series 16 Episode 4 (first TX 07/10/2003) where Jodie Kidd replaced David Seaman to feel up her then-boyfriend polo player Tarquin Southwell, and Kirsty Gallacher took Phil Tufnell's place to help Wossy touch up polar explorer Pen Hadow.
    -Series 17 Episode 2 (first TX 16/01/2004) where Chris Tarrant was asked to take an injured David Seaman's place in the round in order to identify the Ladies' World Freshwater Angling Championships, potentially playing into Tarrant's fondness for fishing. (This episode was recorded just before David Seaman retired as a player and was transmitted just after his announcement and was preceded by a mock "in memoriam" announcement by Nick)
    -Series 17 Episode 7 (first TX 21/02/2004) where returning guest Lee Hurst was asked to help Rory manhandle boxer Steve Spartacus.

      He now lives in Shrewsbury with his Iranian-born wife Shari and their two children. He's done bits and bobs of television and radio since leaving They Think It's All Over, including a short-lived Saturday evening gameshow on ITV called Duel, but nothing major, but I think he prefers it that way, as he's never really thought of himself to be a celebrity, just some podgy croaky bloke from Stoke having a bit of a laugh with some mates, even if he now thinks that sometimes they may have gone too far (see his apology last year to Luke Chadwick).
