It could have been better with the real Alan Wells. 
I think McCoist is a great capitan, but not too keen on Dawson.

I thought TTIAO went to pot a bit. Could probably do with a break and then a relaunch. It certainly wasn't as good without Nick Hancock, Gower and Lineker.

True. Losing Hancock was the killer really.
But it didn't help that the replacements were gash. Lee Mack? Ian Wright? PHIL TUFNELL?!

They should have pensioned this program off years ago.

Totally agree with you on this. When I was watching it on UK Gold with Boris Becker and Ian Wright, it was just shit.
I would say bring back Hancock and Lineker and get a new captain for the other team (not Wrighty or Becker)
As for AQOS, it is SHIT! watched it earlier and I dont mind McCoist but its just not funny when they try to be.

Matt Dawson has to have his lines scripted on QoS because he isn't clever or funny enough to do it off the cuff, as Parrott and McCoist did. And many others. FFS, it's not like you have to be Eddie Izzard on that show.
Secondly, I've taken a severe dislike to the bloke after a recent golf function where he behaved like a bit of a dickhead.
Of the four celebrities present three - Dawson, Mark Bright and DJ Spoony - spoke to no 'ordinary' people whatsoever, played in the same four, when they realised they hadn't won f***ed off without eating the lunch provided for them or waiting for the formalities like everyone else, many of whom were genuinely in a hurry but paid the hosts the respect of waiting.
The fourth, and arguably a lesser celebrity these days (John Conteh) was a revelation. He was genuinely a very funny man, talked to everyone, seemed actually interested to find out what everyone did, loved his golf, and generally was about the best ambassador that SPARKS charity could ask for. Unfortunately for the others, he made them look even worse.
Dawson - a complete knobber of the first order.
PS - if the other Albion fan I spoke to that day posts on here, then g'day to ya.

Alan Wells is the former Sussex Cricket Captain. Allan Wells is the former 100m Olympic Champion.

Athletics, smathletics! Alan Wells was heading for a Golden Pair vs The Windies (?), but like a true sportsman, did not walk. I was being a bit over zealous, but Alan Wells was my first childhood sporting hero, along with Paul Parker (The Sussex Cricketer).

TTIAO got stale - after Lee Hurst left. Then it became scripted & predictable.
I met Nick Hancock in a bar at an England game in Rome. He was giving it the 'I'm Johnny big spuds' routine. What a short-arsed wanker.
