NADAL VERSUS NORA BATTY – NO CONTEST

You’ve got to admire the optimists on BBC TV. There is the sports-loving half of the nation glued to possibly the greatest Wimbledon tennis match ever, and they put up an interactive sign ‘Choose Match’.

Oh yeah, of course. Let’s watch the Seniors One-Legged Final instead.

And then, for those fools who decided to stay with Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, through thick and rain delay, the Beeb put up along the bottom of the screen the enticing notice ‘Songs Of Praise is now on BBC2’. Followed half an hour later by the even more beguiling ‘Last Of The Summer Wine is now on BBC2’.

I couldn’t resist. It was so good I was on BBC2 for the rest of the night. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must dash and see the Breakfast News to find out who won the match.
