I have to say I'm pretty peeved with the BBC's evening highlights footage - sunday Ben get's his third gold and the sarah's their second (&pip's 1st!) - what do we get in the higlights probgramme - about 3 minutes of footage in total...and then the spend 3 minutes on the bloked that beat our guy in the pommel horse.

Ditto tonight Nick / Joe comeback to get silver against incredible odds - 45 seconds or so.. Twiddly tweddle with an (albeit unlucky) leather medal - a good 3-4 miniutes.
Some BBC talking head fannying around in tianmen square with a cut-out of phelps at least 2 minutes...

What a load of tosh - or is it 'commond denominator tv?'

Enjoying the coverage on the BBC - how often can we see this much live sailing. The presentation is strong and for the first time ever non sailing members of my family have become engaged in the coverage.
 The 49er race was just compelling, the best sailing I have watched. Looking forward to more early mornings and more medals.

I guess the key question is what the sailing via red button viewing figures have been (hopefully with people having the wit to ignore the extended live coverage of windmills).

If they have been poor then we may end up with less coverage come 2012. If they have been OK, we can probably expect more of the same. I guess it is only if they have been good that we can expect the investment in time and money for the types of improvements suggested in this thread.
