The Gardeners' World Blog

Thanks for all the feedback we've had on our Wimbledon coverage so far. Below I will answer some of the questions that you've sent in:

Some of your commentary team talk too much. Do you have guidelines as to how they should operate?
It’s certainly our policy to ask our commentators not to over-talk. There is a tendency, particularly from overseas broadcasters with a different style from ours, to fill every second with chat.

We have a fairly straight discipline of not talking over the umpires, about letting the pictures and the atmosphere breathe in a way that doesn’t happen with broadcasters around the world.
