Des Lynam is reported to be rejoining the BBC to host a new show ‘Sport Mastermind’, a spin-off of the classic Mastermind quiz on BBC2.
Lynam now 65 years old, spent 30 years at the BBC before joining ITV for 5 years and then going on to Channel 4 to host Countdown.
The new weekly series will see sports fans, as usual in the big black chair, answering questions on their specialist subject and then a round of sports general knowledge questions. At the end of a ten week stint, one contestant will be crowned Sport Mastermind 2008.
