After 11 glorious years and 20 series on BBC ONE, They Think It's all Over, the anarchic quiz show which successfully blends sport and comedy, has come to an end.

Peter Fincham, Controller, BBC ONE, has decided that the show has reached its natural conclusion and will not be commissioning any further episodes.

He said: "They Think It's all Over has had a great run on BBC ONE lasting 11 years.

"It re-wrote the rule book by bringing comedy and sport together in a fresh and anarchic way.

"It's featured a great range of comedians rubbing shoulders with Olympic gold medallists and world champions, and has been sheer unadulterated fun."

Its a shame - I loved this programme, but it should have ended when Nick Hancock left at the latest imo.

They think its all over has had its day I'm afraid. It was good, but in its heyday it was fantastic. Lee Hurst was absolutely brilliant

The original series' with Gary Lineker, David Gower, Lee Hurst and Rory McGrath were definitely the best ones - when they kept on at each other about David's castle and Gary's ears :rotfl: hilarious. Initally it was still great after Jonathan Ross joined, but after a whilst, the novelty wears off and its the same jokes which gradually makes it tedious.
