The Olympics
06.00, BBC1
Don’t be late, it’s not on all day. Only joking, natch, as aside from the news this channel is nothing but, and we don’t doubt there’ll be plenty to enjoy during the nineteen hours of live coverage every day, whether it’s sporting excellence or pleasing shambolic broadcasting. The good news from our perspective is of course relentless Uncle Matt Baker, not just commentating on the gymnastics as usual but also anchoring some of the daytime coverage in his own unique fashion. Better yet Dame Helen Skelton’s also involved, we note billed as presenting the mountain biking and presumably roaming around the site most days, and hopefully some more famous faces are involved after the fun of Brucie with the torch.
