Enjoyed the extra 20 minutes post-match on iPlayer this evening. It was nice to have a period where there was more time for the panel to go in depth about something. Although I'm not as rabidly angry as some online about daily England content and discussion (I never see much complaints about there being daily Scotland coverage as well), it was nice that it got moved off to its own segment away from the main coverage.
I see that the BBC website has listed Thomas Hitzlsperger to appear on the early game on BBC One tomorrow, who has been working with ARD in the home nationthrough the tournament. As I said at the time of the press releases, I was surprised the BBC had no German involvement, so not surprised they have added him (Bastian Schweinsteiger and Per Mertesacker two other ex-Premier League players who ar working every other day on the German coverage if either broadcaster need one later on in the tournament). Ex-Portugal, West Ham and Southampton defender Jose Fonte is also appearing next week despite not being originally named.
They really should rename it the The Two Show with how often it gets moved in Wales.
The One Show does feel like its far less likely to be dropped these days than say a decade ago. It felt like it used to be on BBC One or not at all on days like this, if it did ever of that period at all; now it is scheduled every day on One or Two. With the show now generally having two guests when it used to have one guest every day, you think they wouldn't mind resting it for a few days here and there.
Likewise, last week's Casualty was on BBC Two on Saturday night, rather than on a different day on BBC One or off for the week entirely, as would often be the case when it couldn't air in its normal slot.

I do think though still having BBC2 Wales gives them much more scheduling flexibility than the situation in Scotland.
A side note to the Euros but baffles me they keep The One Show on every night during the Euros even though it's mainly bumped to BBC2, though it will go off air during Wimbledon for the first week at least.
