Very true. Move Wimbledon into a studio. You just know it makes
sense.

I'd be more than happy to move Wimbledon to the bin ...

Nothing against tennis or it's devotees personally, but when - in
2019 -
programmes are still being bumped for the ****ing tennis, it reminds
me how much I detest sport on TV. A hatred borne of (a) not really
liking sport at school and (b) a childhood of missed TV thanks to
sport overrunning, or simply just being there. Made all the worse
with only 3 channels to chose from.

You had 3 channels? We only had one, until I was eight.

Youngster. None at all until I was 8 or so, and they built a local BBC
TV transmitter.

When we got ITV, the transmitter was half a mile away. I had to make an
attenuator and put it in the antenna lead.
