They Think It's All Over is a British comedy panel game that incorporates a sporting theme. The show was produced by Talkback and aired on BBC One. The title of the program is derived from a famous commentary quotation, which is also used as the final line of every episode. The quotation is from Kenneth Wolstenholme's 1966 World Cup commentary, in which he says they think it's all over, it is now. The show was on the air for a number of years before being cancelled. In 2006 the show was axed after being on-air for 11 years. The program had a notable run during its time on BBC One. The show's sporting theme and comedic elements made it a unique offering in the world of panel games. The cancellation of the show in 2006 marked the end of its 11-year run on BBC One.
