Wife's watching the BBC coverage of the Queens Tennis.
Commentator Andrew Castle comes out with "we miss you Boris, I know he's in prison but we look forward to having you back"

Do we really want that arrogant, lying, cheating toe-rag back?

interesting to see the bbc will drop serial liar becker with the same haste as they
did with rolf harris and stuart hall.

Jeesus, I hope there's been a misunderstanding somewhere - or the BBC will be interviewing Andrew Castle

Don't see why the BBC can't have Boris providing commentary remotely from his cell. smile

They weren't exactly quick to drop Becker given all his longstanding issues, so maybe Castle's remark reflects a general view within the Tennis production team.

Don't think there's really a shortage of good pundits, so don't see why they should consider BB again.

In the interests of equality and inclusivity it's about time they got a fit bird in to do it

Give us something nice to look at

Clare Balding? She looks like Steve Bruce in sensible shoes.

Just had a great idea for a TV series, Steve Bruce & Claire Balding each get to run a football team and we see which gets relegated first....

Now that Dame Kelly has confirmed what everyone knew for years but were'nt really bothered about, and i still don't understand how it makes BBC front page news but it does, they could bring her in alongside Clare

Would make a nice change having a comfy shoed twosome presenter line up

there's always that well known and photogenic " british " player emma raducanu,
she will invariably be free to do tv work, due to short or long term injury, extended toilet break,
depression and/or anxiety, scurvy, dog ate her homework, boyfriend trouble, who knows ?

wonder how much faceache macinroe will charge the bbc this year ?
