Sigh. I have to be out from 5.30 to just after 7. I'll have to record it, but I can't just start it recording and leave it, because they are going to be switching channels at 5.40 That means messing about with the timer and I'll probably mess it up. . .

Flaming BBC!!!!!

According to the tv paper and the electronic program guide, the tennis was due to finish on BBC1at 17.40 move at 17.40 to BBC2 and continue on there until the end. So as the Roddick match was still on when I had to leave, I just set the recorder to record BBC 2.

So what do they do? They show the end of the Roddick match, much inane chatter, and then just as Andy and Troicki are finishing warming up, they transfer the whole bang shoot over to BBC 1!

I got home just as the second set was finishing, realised it was on BBC 1 and shot upstairs to change the recorder - so all I have recorded is the third set, which I was able to watch anyway.

I'm at Wimbledon on Monday so I'll have to set the recorder tomorrow and guess when and where Andy's match will be on. My chances of getting that right look remote.

Match should be on the I-player if you want to watch it, although with your computer, not sure whether it would run it that well.

On Monday...guess it will say BBC2 in the TV listings, but I'd be amazed if they don't put it on BBC1. If they move his 3rd round match in prime time on a Saturday night, then I'm sure they'll do it again on Monday. (And I'm sure Tim's matches when he went deep were on BBC1, and Murray/Gasquet last year was)
