Was it really necessary to trail BBC ONE's programmes tomorrow at half-time in tonight's football match?

I think it's more due to the fact programmes were rescheduled from tonight - but of course sport broadcasts now almost all feature trailers mid-programme.
The real question is which fool felt this game was worthy of prime-time BBC1?

Talking of trailers, I've just seen the most unnecessarily long series of them that I've seen on a BBC channel.
It was on BBC Three, at the end of Little Britain, and a slug coming on-screen telling us that The Smoking Room was up next. Then there was a new "Next" caption telling us, for the second time, that The Smoking Room was up next. Then we had a short trailer for The Mighty Boosh, before a trailer for The Smoking Room, telling us that it was up next. Hang on - haven't we been told that twice already!? As if that wasn't enough, we then had a trailer for some new parenting programme; a BBC Three blob animation; a trailer for BBC Two comedy night; another BBC Three blob animation; and finally (phew), ANOTHER, longer trailer for The Mighty Boosh.
I know BBC Three does have only a handful of programmes worth advertising, but really - trailing the same programme twice, and telling us what's coming next three times in one junction was just seriously excessive. I hope they were just filling a gap in the schedule and that this isn't going to become the norm...
