Critics and viewers have savaged the BBC’s new Wimbledon daily highlights package, presented by Clare Balding.
The revamped programme, called Wimbledon 2Day, sees Balding and guests discuss the day’s play in one of the tournament’s hospitality suites.
But the new format prompted an immediate backlash with Alison Graham, the TV critic of the Radio Times, calling it “a mess, a giddy mix of inane tweets, snippets of matches (let’s not forget actual tennis is being played, something, presumably we all want to see, which is why we’ve tuned in) and a bit of chat. All marshalled by a panicky looking Clare Balding”.
