  QUESTION OF SPORT RELIEF -
  INTERACTIVE GAME COMES TO THE BIG SCREEN
  
  An exciting interactive game, based on the BBC quiz show 'A Question of Sport', is coming to the Big Screen in Dover Market Square on Saturday 13 March, between 12 noon and 3pm, as part of the run up to Sport Relief this year.
  
  The Question of Sport game involves the players positioning themselves in front of the screen to answer multiple-choice questions. A sensor on the screen will register where people are standing, triggering a response of whether answers are correct or incorrect. 
  
  The two team captains from the BBC show feature in filmed instructions on how to play the game, and questions are presented as a mixture of text and video. The event is being organised by Dover District Council in partnership with the BBC.
  
  For more information, please call DDC on 01304 872424 or log onto www.dover.gov.uk

  Just thought I'd kick this one into further life in case some of the fans of the Big Screen have missed it. This is at the very least a chance for Big Screen enthusiasts to engage in the process and run around Market Square without looking in any way foolish. Get involved in all the activity, get fitter for spring, chase off those winter couch cobwebs, and best of all....Let it all hang out !
  
  Ah ermm oh no...scratch that last bit. Might frighten the horses!

  The bit that bothers me is "A sensor on the screen will register where people are standing". How long has this sensor been operating? Why is Big Brother watching everybody? Scarey

  Very good, Colin - a little overdone, if I may say. We're not cabbages.

  I thought part of the design Phil was to have a webcam of some sort built in so that it can feed back to the BBC ?
  
  I am surprised though that it has taken this long for something like this to happen, I am sure if they rigged up an XBox to it and had a major game competition it would get the kids down there to use it....
  Been nice knowing you :)

  Andy, lettuce consider whether that is the case or whether in the onset of spring onions are tastier. After all, you cannot beet a bit of fresh veg.

  Sue, I passed on my way to the library at 2pm. There was a chap with a microphone doing his best to drum up enthusiasm and about half a dozen youngsters shouting out answers to sporty questions.
  
  There were some people with yellow jackets on and clipboards but I think that they were from Dover Rowing Club. The club had one of their skiffs on show. I didn't hang around as it was too cold.
  
  There were quite a lot of teenagers in the library who may have been to the event earlier and had come in out of the cold.
