Six Nations Rugby
I hope to goodness you like your sport, because I can’t remember a Saturday – even back in the days of Grandstand – when the BBC1 schedules were so heavily dominated by it.
The main feature is international rugby, with the final round of matches in this year’s Six Nations tournament – Wales playing host to an Italy side that gave them a scare last year in Rome; Ireland facing Scotland in their last match at Croke Park (before returning to the old Lansdowne Road site); and France out to avenge last year’s 34-10 defeat by England.
But at various times from noon to midnight there’s also Football Focus, Sport Relief, A Question of Sport, Match Of The Day (Sportscene in Scotland) and The Football League Show. Heaven for some, sheer hell for others.
