The way they are linking into the adverts, I mean trailers, during Wimbledon 2006 is quite cringeworthy

Sue: "Coming up Henman will be on court, but that's not all that's coming up here on BBC ONE"
[ Cue advert for Holby City ]
(the ad finishes with some sort of strapline like 'The drama continues, Thursday at 8 on BBC1')
Sue: "The drama continues here at Wimbledon as well..."

For Wimbledon next week if a match does over run past 8pm - as im sure is very likely, they'll have a shorter roundup before 9pm and then move the normal Today at Wimbledon programme to 11.20pm.

Well, Murray is still live on Centre Court, and that's exactly what they are doing tonight! However this now pushes the European Cup Athletics back to 12.20am. Come On Murray!

Are you aware that in tennis, the players are british. There isn't any English, Scottish etc.

Perhaps somebody should have told that to Murray before he started spouting anti-English sentiments.

And he wears a scottish St. Andrews cross wristband, not a union jack.

Indeed, but he was still born in Scotland! He has a right to support whoever he chooses in the World Cup doesn't he?
