Wimbledon 2012

Shush .... someone will suggest 304 if you're not careful.

Fair enough to move to BBC One at this late hour - will get decent ratings with it being Williams sisters and on the back of Murray in the final and Marray winning his earlier

May well win its timeslot comfortably

BBC HD put their own caption on as John Inverdale mentioned the schedule change at 21:50

Red Button is busy with T In The Park.

A seamless transition from BBC Two to BBC One, unlike earlier the other way where there was a gap, and BBC Two started with Sue Barker in vision.

Am delighted that all this malarkey has upset Polly Toynbee on Twitter. She is throwing a right wobbly, dare I say of Shakespearian proportions.

Its certainly no unusual thing for the schedule to be delayed due to a Wimbledon doubles' final - its happened many, many times over the years. I give credit to the BBC for making the decision to move the tennis to BBC One at 10pm, to allow Henry VI to be shown at a reasonable hour.

Anyway . . . big, big day today! 12.55pm BBC One! The television audience is expected to top 20 million. Looking forward to seeing what the BBC have planned for the build-up. The Beeb have a habit of producing beautiful little montages for Wimbledon finals . . . Rafa and Roger's reciting of 'If' a few years back springs to mind.

Andrew Castle, Tim Henman and Boris Becker will call the final. McEnroe is commentating for US TV as usual (ESPN this time around), but presumably will be courtside with Sue Barker for the build-up.

Its already a historic day for British sport . . . and it could be truly momentous if Murray pulls it out of the bag. Lets hope the television presentation does it justice.

Murray in five sets!!

Please qualify this. Are you talking about UK audience? Who is expecting it to top 20 million?

With the British Grand Prix on BBC Two and Columbo/Murder she Wrote on ITV1, I don't think it will truly get to 20 million viewers. Maybe 20 million people will see it if you include all people who watch some part of it on BBC One and everyone who sees some part of it on a news programme.

Because thirty year old repeats of US detective series are really a threat. 20m is the figure being thrown around by the press as a possible peak, and though slightly optimistic it's not out of the question - the Jubilee Pageant got fairly close a few weekends ago and this is a piece of sporting history whether Murray wins or lose as for most of us this is the first time in our lifetime a Brit has contested the men's final.

Personally I'd be a bit more cautious - average around the 10-11m mark for the match, peak 15-16m.

A historic day whatever happens.

I think that the Silverstone British GP could have a dent into the Wimbledon Final ratings. The GP is a huge event itself and usually averages the 5 million mark so that could end any possibility of reaching 20 million.
