  1. Your greatest sporting moment

    #Spoty

    Charlie Gray from Fulmer decided to teach his children all about the luge during lockdown.

    "The kids couldn't get what a luge was so I bought a 25m piece of builders' plastic, damp proofing and a couple of floatees," said Charlie.

    "A sprinkler and some washing up liquid later, we had our luge! It was cheaper than a paddling pool and so much more fun!"

  2. In the studio

    It will be the first time in nine years the Sports Personality show has been held in a studio – the 2011 edition was also broadcast from MediaCityUK after BBC Sport’s move to Salford.

    Before the show went on the road to indoor arenas around the UK, there were many memorable moments via live video links and surprise guests.

    In 1977, there was even a racehorse – triple Grand National winner Red Rum had to take the lift to the studio.

  5. Your Greatest Sporting Moment

    This year we made BBC Sports Personality's Greatest Sporting Moment of the Year all about you!

    We'll publish some of the best ones on here throughout the night, as well as on our social media accounts and in the live BBC One show.

  9. Good evening!

    It's been a crazy year but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate some of the greatest sporting achievements of 2020.

    This year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year won't have the glitz and glamour of previous years but not only are we going to celebrate the achievements of elite sportsmen and women, we are going to celebrate YOUR personal achievements.

    A new award has been added to tonight's schedule - the Captain Tom Young Unsung Hero award - to celebrate those extra special achievements in the face of a global pandemic.

    So let's get the show on the road. Six nominees are up for the main award. Here they are...
