Damn the tennis, and damn the BBC

I've been recording and watching Robin Hood. Whatever your views on the content, I rather enjoy it and it's evolved a treat since its early days.

I got a bit behind so had the last two week's left on the hard disk recorder.

I watch the first one, with exciting cliffhanger, and settle down to watch the second part (from last Saturday).

Lo and behold, there's tennis (Andy Murray) on the recording. After a couple of minutes a flag on the screen informs viewers that Robin hood will be on BBC Two at 7.

Great. Thanks. So I have no recording. The BBC deems a tennis match more important than the series finale of one of their much-hyped (albeit now cancelled) Saturday evening family dramas.

I know, I think, I'll go online and watch it on the iPlayer.

Good idea. Except it started, faltered and now refuses to play for me.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
