...you've missed three quarters of it already anyway. Is there any need for the interruptions from Sue Barker still at 19:44?

John Inverdale may as well watch it from home though.


Or perhaps not . . .

Strange though that the Sky EPG is now showing Coast at 8pm and Today at Wimbledon at 8.15pm. If Murray wraps things up very quickly here everything will be much more straightforward.

Are they planning to just delay everything on BBC One then?

BBC One back ten minutes on Sky EPG

Followed by another 10 minutes and another and another etc. I don't know why they can't update the EPG properly and schedule EastEnders at 20:15 at the earliest. The next junction on BBC Two is not until 20:15 so EastEnders can not possibly be on BBC One at 20:10. Not that it would be anyway, Sue Barker needs at least 5 minutes to wrap things up.

All this messing around each year just so viewers can enjoy an extra episode of Coast. Is it really worth it?

Why not?


Where would Wimbledon go between 20:10 and 20:15?

If the match is finished it doesn't need to go anywhere.

Now the match is finished they really should get off air quicker than this . . . the interviews can go on to BBC Two.

And in fact they've now pushed TatW back by another 5 minutes, after a 5 minute Coast. That's needless. They could have easily taped the Murray interview and aired it at the start of the highlights.

Tennis fans may want to see analyst and whatnot. I don't think making them wait 4 or 5 minutes while they show the end of Coast would be the correct scheduling decision either.

By the way, another episode has just started on BBC Two.

Which is now exactly what is happening.
