Yesterday’s programme was the limit. It had hardly started when they moved live to the Sharapova match and showed it for most of the rest of the programme. Point one: I had to mute the TV because of the shrieking. Point two: *the match was being shown on the red button*, so the Beeb was in effect showing it in parallel. Meanwhile, Tracy Austin and John Lloyd were left with nothing to do. I was furious and read my book. Later I switched over for the ten o’clock news. Quite an important news day you might think, with the remarkable events is Northern Ireland. What was on? B****y football! I went to bed in quite a temper.
