Roof now being closed at one set all.

Why they didn't close it before the game god knows. I'm really not liking the roof and how it's effectively introducing half time to games.

On what basis?

Did it switch channels to BBC One when Casualty was meant to start, or earlier? Must admit I switched straight to BBC HD after watching on mobile, should have known they'd stick it on One. No Lottery or Casualty at all then?

Whole match has been on BBC1.

They stuck the lottery and a quick news summary in while they were closing the roof about 9:20pm.

Tennis has been on for a while before 9pm, unsure how long though. The Lottery Programme didn't air, but at around 9.25 the Lottery draws were shown followed by a 3minute BBC News Headlines simulcast with the News Channel before returning back to Tennis

EDIT: Pretty much the same then ^

was Indiana Jones meant to be on sometime this evening? Its next week now anyway

An absolute embarrassment just a month out for the Olympics. The Australian Open have had games which haven't begun until after 11pm.

Er, blame the organisation not the roof, surely? The match wouldn't be continuing at all without it...
