It was just a 'short intermission' while they shut the roof (takes ten minutes).

And it's only once a year
Unlike football which is never off tv.

This was live and Casualty is recorded, can be watched any time

Gran2028 Casualty is nonsense..so far removed from reality it is farcical.

I dont give a flying fig (and that's the polite version) as to how real or not Casualty is, Mr P & I enjoy watching it.

And as for ^Months of football.. months of cricket.. two weeks of tennis..
Get over yourselves..^

For your information, this household does NOT watch and has no interest in football at all, cricket? well unless you have Sky then that's off.

As already stated, I quite enjoy tennis, but........

And as for "get over yourselves" how bloody rude! angry

I only watch Casualty occasionally these days and I like a bit of tennis.
But you can have too much of a good thing.

I can't understand why the BBC doesn't have a dedicated sport channel. Or, why don't they put all sporting events on the red button, then we'd have a choice as to whether to watch or not.
I don't watch Casualty, I'm watching the Voice Kids.

Yesterday they had the same match on BBC 1 and BBC 7 or whatever it is. Really! I wanted to see Top of the Pops from the eighties. No consideration, some people. grin

Bloody hell, phoenix!!!!

Gran2028 the same match was on both channels for a damn sight longer than "a moment".

As stated, I quite like watching the odd bit of Wimbledon, but feel I should have a choice, and be able to watch the scheduled programmes.

Obvs that's to * phienix*.

It's on the red button so doesn't need to be on two channels.

kittylester Sat 06-Jul-19 20:57:30

That has been making me laugh since the match started though I am getting pigged off now!

It's bloody well not on!

And why does the the chap in the back to front baseball cap keep saying what sounds like "wumpty ley ah"

harrigran Sat 06-Jul-19 20:52:40

I hate tennis, why take off established programmes for some minor players ?

Gran2028 Sat 06-Jul-19 20:51:32

That is only for a moment to update viewers on both channels.. now two different matches..

LONG LIVE WIMBLEDON!!!

Me too. I've just been swearing at the TV. Now watching recording of last nights Gardeners world.

Thebeeb Sat 06-Jul-19 20:49:50

Me too Phoenix. Knew it would happen always does.

Bathsheba Sat 06-Jul-19 20:48:44

Hmm, that's just not cricket is it?

phoenix Sat 06-Jul-19 20:45:56

I don't mind a bit of tennis, but right now, as I type the same match is being shown on both BBC 1 AND 2!

(And there's grunting/sighing)

As a licence fee payer, who would like to watch Casualty, I'm feeling pretty pissed off angry
