I'm very sure that if the BBC just aired that without any of the hype in the news around, there would be a very loud ruckus as to what in the hell that was and where MOTD is.

Yep, I can't see any of the people who were raving last night about how much better and "refreshing" last night's MOTD was would have been doing so if it had gone out like that with no publicity and seemingly no story around it. Hard to feel any other way than praise for last night's debacle is politically motivated.

It wasn't particularly big.

That's what she said.
