Sunday Supplement

Sunday Supplement

"Sunday Supplement" (formerly "Jimmy Hill's Sunday Supplement") is a Sunday morning TV show in the UK about sport, with an emphasis on football. It is shown on Sky Sports 1.

The host and newspaper columnists sit around a table and discuss the latest football news and gossip, including a look at the Sunday sports pages. It was initially alleged that it was actually filmed in former host Jimmy Hill's kitchen but the truth came to light on several occasions in 2006 when Hill was late claiming to be stuck in traffic.Fact|date=September 2008

In 2007, Sky Sports decided to axe Hill, preferring to have four journalists discussing the weekend's football. The move was unpopular with some fans of the show, who thought that Sky were letting go of a star. These fears proved groundless, however, and under Brian Woolnough's chairmanship, the programme has improved considerably. It retains a loyal fan base, and its viewing figures are steadily rising. This is due to the simple but essential nature of the format, and also to the quality of the guests. The journalists round the table vary, but regulars often include Henry Winter, Shaun Custis, Patrick Barclay and Bill McGarry. The attraction for the viewers, in addition to the fact that they can be sure the main talking points from that week will be discussed, is that the panelists genuinely care about football.
