Hmmm. As far as I can tell, there's no net loss in entertainment value: Sue Perkins off the screen, minus point; Giles Coren off the screen, plus point.
There's not a huge amount on tv that I deliberately make the time to watch, but Supersizers is one of those programmes.
The tennis was all very good, and well done Murray and all that. But I can't help feeling that adding the roof and floodlighting meant that they could just carry on playing forever, whereas in previous years, or indeed for other matches on other courts, bad light would have stopped play, the players would have had a rest and be refreshed for the match today.
