Fucking stoopid fucking Wimbledon fucking tennis.

There were only two programmes I wanted to watch tonight: the final part of a 3 part docu series (The Men Who Made Us Fat) and regular panel show, Mock the Week. Both on BBC2.

Turned tv on for TMWMUF and the tennis still playing. Checked the radiotimes website and the listing is there, checked my tv's menu listings and suddenly my docu has vanished, and it's wimbers til 10.

Just tried again for Mock the Week and it's still bastard tennis. And MTW has now vanished from the tv menu and its wimbers til 10:30, just in time for 'Coast' a show about the British coastline I don't watch. If indeed that goes out at all.

Fucking hate Wimbledon. Bad enough it takes over BBC 2 for most of it, but the overruns and ever-lasting matches mean even the stuff that's still scheduled ends up being pulled.

Dont even like tennis. Bleh.


Given they're turning off the analogue signal in most areas, and everyone's moving over to freeview digital I really hope next year if the match is overrunning they can shunt the coverage over to one of the dormant bbc channels and leave the scheduled telly alone.
