Episode 1: first episode week
I was delighted to see that The Great British Sewing Bee was back. Much was made of the fact that it was 10 years old (although the reel in the never changed title sequence says ‘Est. 2012’, and that disparity is related to the BBC’s loss of Bake Off.) Another new presenter in Kiell Smith-Bynoe, who’d done the Christmas specials and is perfectly personable and capable of reading the gags written for him. Patrick is the only one who was there from the off.

The Great British Sewing Bee is back!
Episode 1 – I’m not sure what the theme of this was, either classics with a twist or getting to know you.

Episode 2 – travel

Episode 3 – West African week. Normally ‘West Africa’ gets a round, but not its own whole theme and even a guest judge, which I believe is a first.

TENNIS: FO R4 and The Gods of Tennis

It’s become clearer to me what the LTA and UK Government are doing about Russian and Belarussian players for the English grass-court season, which has started at Surbiton. If players sign up to certain requirements, they can play as neutrals, with the LTA ceding to the general tennis arrangements so they won’t get fined, and so all players will gain ranking points as well as prize money. But the Home Office will be doing extra checks before granting them visas, so there’s a possibility some players may not get to play as a result.
As I can’t really watch tennis (I try to listen to coverage, but it depends on whether I can find something else to be doing that doesn’t demand too much attention, and I certainly haven’t found anything that lasts a whole match), I watched the first episode of The Gods of Tennis.
