The only real issue is the Gary Barlow gig went on extremely late, and goodness knows what's happened to that episode of Our Girl now - iPlayer only with an extended recap before the next episode?


Rescheduled to Tuesday 9pm is what I saw on Twitter, along with a lot of outrage from people who wanted it put on iPlayer.

Just delayed till Tuesday, as it probably should have been in the first place.

Still a huge reluctance it seems to put shows pulled from the schedule on the iPlayer until they get that broadcast airing.

Might not be "reluctance" as such, because it used to be that stuff couldn't be on the iPlayer if it hadn't aired. While this basic principle probably went out the window as far as BBC Three was concerned when it lost its linear service, it appears to still apply to the other networks. After all, you can't catch up on something that hasn't been aired.

I think it depends on the programme as they may hold it back because they don't want the viewing figures to be further diluted.

BBC Two have tonight cancelled Reginald D Hunter's Songs of the Border (which I was actually hoping to see so wonder when it will be rescheduled for).

Aha, when I turned my telly on earlier I saw that on the listings and then lost it. Couldn't find it anywhere even with a search. So now I realise why

Possibly in the contracts that they can't go on the iPlayer until they've been aired.

Hidden from BBC Wales was rescheduled to Friday this week but still went on iPlayer on Wednesday, its regular night.

Did it go out on Friday? Because Friday night's schedule was disrupted also.

There is a time to know when to shut up for a bit, regards Becker, Henman and Barker post match. That time was when Novak was looking at his name on the board, and even more so when he went upstairs and was having a chat with some of the Royal Box ex players and Prince William & Kate, but nope, they carried on talking instead of letting us listen in.

Not sure it's the done thing to listen in on a Royal meeting - think that's the one thing you don't normally do.

Meanwhile it's good to hear Barry Davies doing the mixed final as his commentary farewell. What a shame they couldn't have given him the men's singles final alongside Becker and dropped either Henman or Castle.

He probably wanted to watch the World Cup Final like most other people.
