Really it's the only slot (other than on BBC1) it can go in now it's already made an hour long.I'm surprised they didn't do a shorter version when a Murray match overran one Wednesday night in 2016, forcing Celebrity Masterchef to BBC2.
Quite surprised really given they planned to ensure it is produced this year they haven't reinstated the "Yesterday at Wimbledon" repeat the following morning.
The series 2 premiere of Boy Meets Girl could've waited a week and a 30 minute live version of Today With Wimbledon could have aired post Versailles and into Newsnight.
But BBC2 felt 'well, Look North (NE&C) had been promoting it and no doubt Radio Newcastle did, so let's not upset them and air Boy Meets Girl.
(Given the premiere of S2 of Boy Meets Girl had a rating of 619,000, they might as well have taken a chance on Clare Balding).
