Not just the delayed broadcasts, the almost obscene idolised blanket coverage of bloody beach volleyball, the absolute boredom of badminton, table tennis, rythmic gymnastics for goodnes sake, no indication of times of events, surely 7 had a programme, I did, the awful majority of the commentators. No doubting Bruce he is as good as they come, but that effected poncing by he who loves himself, Sandy Roberts is unbearable, off with the set good ole Aunty, reliable as ever every time he was allowed to drench us with his smulch. All in all not a good effort, oh and no doubt 7 managed a huge profit commercially. They should have with the saturation of commercials.
