Fighting for the remote

It's official. Sports fans are lost on entertainment shows. Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor have been heinously scheduled against highlights of England losing without trace versus the Kiwis at rugby union.

It would be a brave man to hog the remote on the sofa with their significant other in tow. The demographic of the audience would be singletons, blokes in the club bar, and families and friends of the players on the pitch.

No one on A Question of Sport would get a "What happened next?" question from the game unless (a) the referee exploded, (b) the players ate the ball, or (c) Twickenham was hit by a tidal wave.
