BBC moves tennis

In a bid to alienate the few defenders of BBC management a decision was made to once again dick about with the schedules. At first things seemed fine the tennis finished at 6pm on BBC1 and switched to BBC2 to last until 8pm. Things started to go awry at 7pm when an announcement was made that in contrast to the schedule the tennis would switch back to BBC2 and BBC1 shows would be switched to BBC2 there then followed a sound as if someone had stuck out their tongue and blown very hard.

In an attempt to defend their decision a BBC spokesman explained the situation "What most people don't realise is that when you watch the television you're drawing power from the antennas. As this particular match was expected to draw a large audience the decision was made to switch it to the channel best equipped to handle this load" Looking at the dropped jaws of the press the spokesman seemed to get exasperated "Look it's simple the people in charge of BBC1 went to universities such as Oxford or Cambridge while those in charge at BBC2 went to Hull or Birmingham; we simply couldn't allow those oiks to swan around boasting about having higher ratings than us now could we?"

When asked how he thought the viewers might feel about this the spokesman queried "Who?"
