The show will play at 11 locations across England, with organisers promising "rounds and challenges familiar to everyone, along with exciting new elements created just for the tour".

Paying homage to the television version, each tour date will feature a panel of guests from the world of sport, with the exact line-up set to be confirmed nearer to the dates in March 2025.

The press release adds that "audience members will get a chance to test their sporting knowledge" against the hosts, while they can also expect to hear "behind-the-scenes tales from their careers [that] you definitely won't hear on TV".

Barker became the face of A Question of Sport in 1997, with Dawson joining her in 2004 and Tufnell arriving four years later, with their fun chemistry attracting a loyal fan base for the long-running quiz show.

The earlier trio can be seen on tour in Brighton, London, Bath, Leicester, Bournemouth, Ipswich, Basingstoke, Torquay, Oxford, Manchester and Nottingham in March of next year. Tickets are available at MyTicket from Wednesday morning at 10am.
