Host So, round three of the quiz is called 'a sporting chance' and, as the name suggests, all of the questions are about sport. Today, the focus is on famous British sporting events, or events which involve British teams. Fingers on buzzers. And remember, the answers you need are all there on the screen - you just need to choose the correct one! So here we go. Question 1: The Open and the Ryder Cup are both famous events in which sport? John. That was very quick! What's your answer?
John Er ... I think ... hmm.
Host I'm sorry, you must answer immediately after you've buzzed. Milly?
