Wimbledon

I know we have a few topics with changes due to Wimbledon posts in but there are other changes this evening with the BBC's schedules on Saturday evening of all times being torn up!!

Straight after the news at 5.35 on BBC One there was a rush announcement saying back to Wimbledon and on Two just after the announcer said 'Sorry to mess you about but the tennis is now back on BBC One'!!

BBC One have cancelled programmes until 7.30pm at the minute and the rain is coming again so maybe no more tennis - oops!

It all seems like a failed attempt to boost ratings for BBC 1 in my opinion... kind of back fired though as not long afterwards it was raining again. As one of the commentators remarked, why isn't there a roof?

Everything went back to normal at 7.30.

Whilst Wimbledon was on BBC ONE, BBC TWO showed Delia Smith, Wildlife on Two, Whatever happened to the likely lads, Home Stories and Home Front Tricks!

Meanwhile, those of you with Digital satelite can currently watch a live shot of the rain on Centre court and also on one of the outside courts

More scheduling changes will happen tomorrow as they are to play the Men Final then. Not sure what time but if Henman gets through then I'm sure it will be on BBC One with maybe an early evening highlights programme?

Will that mean tomorrow that I might have a chance of seeing Newsline again?

I doubt it - it's just been announced that play will start at midday. There's a chance you may get the One O'Clock News on BBC Two I suppose....

What happens after 1pm and with the News is anyones guess!

BBC 2 Clock - apparantly!

BBC 1 Daily has some of the most depressing shows ever to be shown by the BBC - no wonder their ratings are so low!

BBC One Daily's programmes do very well against This Morning. Yes I know they are depressing but the BBC seem to be quite happy with them!

This weekend has been an absolute ratings disaster for the BBC as they watched the flagship sporting event of the summer turn into a flop. Tim Henman didn't get through, dashing their hopes of a big ratings final. Because of the rain all we had on Saturday afternoon was 5 hours of replays, chats with has-been players, and a Bill Clinton interview. Now, the mens final is on Monday, when most people are back at work, robbing the BBC of the usual big ratings for the mens final. Also, am I the only person who actually didn't want Tim Henman to win ? I find him very arrogant and completely devoid of a personality.

Clock?
