@sdarlington At least the UK broadcasters are legally limited in how many commercial breaks they can have per hour, which means there have been an awful lot of breakaways for analysis and replays.

So this game consists of four quarters each of 15 minutes. That's an hour-long game, right? Our TV has just flashed up its notice saying "I'm going to turn off soon as there has been no input from you". It flashes that up after 4 hours of use. The game is **still** not finished.

Tonight I'm going full 1970s with butterscotch Angel Delight. It says "Serves 4", but I am having it to myself, of course. #RetroFood

Crikey I'm knackered just watching that. Definitely a young person's game, or at least a fit person's. Pretty amazing, though.

The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts (yes that's the name of his female backing singers) yell something on this song that sounds like "Hotch potch" and I've never quite worked out why. #TOTP
