    I remember the BBC getting bollocking for moving Top of the Pops one night for an FA Cup semi replay.

    One woman rang up to complain she couldnt practice her dancing routine for the disco that coming Saturday night. I know this as i was sat next to my mate while she made the call.

    Was she being serious? Either way it's hilarious

    She wasnt serious but she was always had a deadly serious tone on the call. One of several calls she used to make. That's how we used to entertain ourselves at work before the internet, prank calls.

    This is going to be a real late game for the other one then. Everyone will be well ensconced in the pub before it starts.

    BBC will love that - perfect late afternoon viewing from their point of view.

    Mind you the evening programmes might get affected cue loads of complaints from non-tennis fans.

    If they just left Tennis on BBC2 they wouldn't have to move anything.
    True butt then something on BBC2 would be cancelled to somebody's disgust!

    these two seem to be killing each other good for other semi, also murrary avoids the sun when he starts

    Djokovic is looking a bit shaken. I still expect him to win this, but must give Murray hope (as long as he beats Jano).

    Isn't Del Potro supposed to have an injury too - great effort from him!

    What a match, can't believe del potro is only 24. He will win Wimbledon if his body stands up.

    I dunno how people like him (and until last year Murray) keep their motivation. He's clearly a very very very good player and he's thrown the kitchen sink at Djok to push him all the way but still come ultimately a little bit short.

    I would find that so demoralizing to know I gave him everything I had but it wasn't enough.

    tremendous match ... overall I think that Wimbledon this year has been the best for a long long time .. helped by quite a few 'names' going out in the earlier rounds both in the men's and women's

    Yeah but a good while ago now.

    Fair play to the guy, he's clearly finding a way to do, I'm just saying it must be really tough.

    Murray is completely and utterly spot on about the roof.
