First time I've seen the desk in the studio this year. Looks like someone got the measurements wrong - seems massive.

Also glad to see they are replaying a match on BBC2 without the R in a tennis ball graphic, though never sure if that stood for replay or rain.

I’m pretty sure they had that desk last year too. Sue Barker looked tiny behind it earlier.

A tad poor that BBC One continuity didn’t even acknowledge the lack of Casualty, and just ploughed on. You’d usually get an ‘official’ announcement beyond Clare Balding mentioning it in passing.

I’m guessing there is no Today at Wimbledon tonight.

I do think the studio is too dark these days (not just when it’s late). It’s should feel summary and bright. This is how it used to look.

BBC one Northern Ireland said Casualty would be shown at a later date.

There is no Today at Wimbledon most nights now - they might as well take it out of the schedule really and just do a round up of the key moments at the end of the live broadcast if time allows, which in practice is what happens anyway.

Casualty could easily air tomorrow night instead of Antiques Roadshow - they'd just need to air Countryfile 10 minutes later which would easily be achieved by extending the football coverage slightly earlier (indeed that might be extended anyway).

If they had any sense they would scrap the Antiques Roadshow repeat tomrorrow and show the episode then-It really is that simple-what do the schedulers think we are in this day and and Social Media age, idiots.

You make the mistake of assuming that logic exists in the BBC scheduling department. It clearly doesn't.

Well then we need to make logic happen!

Casualty normally has a short break in August so they can easily catch up.

Except the way this series is going we may not get one as the finale is looking like it won't be til August.

I can't see the BBC annoying their 50+ audience who watch the channel on Sunday by replacing a stalwart of the Sunday schedule with the younger skewing Casualty.
