The BBC has axed a quiz show fronted by a popular sports personality after just two series. At the time of launching the series, the BBC branded the show "the ultimate knockout competition, where eight players battle each other on the Tournament".
But after just two series, the BBC has called time on The Tournament, which is hosted by Alex Scott. The show saw eight players battled it out as they took part in a series of tug-of-war quiz matches. The show aired in an afternoon slot on BBC One.
Birmingham Live reports Alex, 38, had presented both series of the programme. A spokesperson for the BBC confirmed the show was to come to an end. They said: “The Tournament had two great series but we need to make room for new opportunities. "We'd like to thank Alex and the team for all their hard work.”
