Great interview from Sue Barker with Wills and Harry - and wouldn't Dame Sue Barker have a nice ring to it! Laughing


Can you imagine Gary doing it?

I'd rather not.

And yet another audio issue for the BBC there - think we've heard more from the directors in these games than we have from Sue.

What is that event we keep seeing in the background in the stadium? It looks like remote control cars. Is that a demonstration sport?

Do they use things like that for returning Discus and Shot after they've been thrown?

Jake Humphry just tweeted that they are "to return the hammers". Whatever that means?

Maybe I should Google it? #nbc

Err - they're the things they throw in the "Hammer Throw"? (It's one of the field events)

Nothing like a bit of lead sponsor's indirect product placement.

That would make sense yes. I've always had something of a blind spot for anything involving sport Embarassed

With Murray in the tennis final, I wonder if Sue might go down to Wimbledon present live courtside, like she does during Wimbledon?

John Inverdale is definally not being underused, he was at Eton Dorney from 9am this morning and at the stadium for the athletics tonight!

Unlikely to be courtside, as the feed from there will be the international OBS destined one, she might go to present from the Media Terrace, if the BBC have any spare unilateral kit they can call on. I've yet to see any video out of Wimbledon that seems unilateral in content.
