Wimbledon

It's not the same as it has been previously. It has one big screen and 4 small ones down the right hand side (at least on Sky)

The scheduling of Today at Wimbledon is still annoying. They only got 40 mins of highlights last night as the live coverage overran.

Lots of rain today, apparantly it has been the wettest Wimbledon ever. I think the BBC are running out of filler material to show

It was always going to be wet as soon as they took the roof off!


Don't know about Sky, but annoying on Freeview how with the limited space both BBC2 and one of the interactive streams are showing the same match.

God its the J.P. McEnroe show today - two hour-long McEnroe documentaries in the space of a few hours on BBC1/BBC2.

I don't see the justification in using these documentaries so quickly when they've got full matches screened on BBCi which haven't been shown on BBC1 or BBC2.


And they're bloody obsessed with Mac, we see it every year. Of these documentaries the only one I've seen of interested was "Samprass vs Federer: Changing of the Guard" - I hadn't realised their careers had crossed paths, and at Wimbledon too.

I agree. Show the tennis docs on BBCi and let people watch matches in peace.

I'm not sure, do casual viewers really want to watch a match between 2 players that aren't really that well known with a result that is already known?

The documentaries are often interesting, but you can tell they are struggling this time, what with it being the wettest Wimbledon for 25 years. You know it has been a wet Wimbledon when they dig out the McEnroe clips from the 70s and hence shown in 4:3

There has also been some good behind the scenes films shown on BBCi which won't get an airing anywhere else

Network Coverage hasn't been this low for many years. Today at Wimbledon really does need to be put back to it's traditional time of 9pm or 9,30pm, enabling live coverage to continue until 9pm or even 9.30 if light and rain permits.

Remember in the 1970's and 1980's simultaneous coverage apart from a Newsbreak for 35 mins (5.45 > 6,20) from 2 until 8 daily.

Any reason why a load of the BBC's Wimbledon videos on youtube have been taken down by the AELTC?

Have you noticed how they keep occasionally flashing up a "Live from Centre Court" caption every now and then. Presumably for the international feed?

BBC News 24 dropped into BBC One coverage for a bit earlier and that caption came up.
