Too Much Tennis?
21 Answers
In answer to those people who say there is too much Tennis on the BBC, Wimbledon is on for two weeks of the year, not many other tournaments are shown at all, so they are right to show as many matches as possible, there are plenty of other sports on all through the year and football, rugby, darts,etc are given blanket coverage so why should two weeks of Tennis upset people so.

It's not about how much tennis is shown - it's completely correct that the BBC covers the premier tournaments as completely as possible, when it has the rights.
It's all about the disruption of schedules for no good reason - causing people to fail to record a much anticipated programme - when it would be so much easier to simply change the channel for the live tennis, causing no problems for anyone.
Not everyone has access to iPlayer to catch up on the misrecorded programme - and why should they have to anyway?

Two things choux - it was more tennis, so they had two main channels of tennis (so no 'hole' in the argument there) and secondly, it was the Sewing Bee FINAL, a show popular with many people and it should not have been moved. Did they not consider the people who would have recorded it - apparently not !
"Surely everyone does have access to iPlayer don’t they? "
Tell that to people without fast broadband (very often the elderly in rural locations)
Tell that to anyone in the ROI - we watch BBC entirely legally via our Sky subscription, but have no official access to iPlayer as it's geoblocked.
[ yes - I know about DNS proxies and VPNs - but many, many people don't ]

In much the same way as moaning here does I guess, gness.
One might think that the BBC does the same with Sewing Bee as it does with Masterchef. Record and can series to be played at a much later date with all contestants sworn to secrecy. If so, then Ken has submitted the perfect answer at 16:18.
Has the BBC enough confidence in this reality programme to repeat the final episode within the week?
