  3. I read the B-BBC commentaries for about a year without ever watching the programme itself.

    My urge to find out whether statistics would support/disprove the comments of the B-BBC bloggers got the better of me. Though by doing so I've gathered a fair amount of evidence that there is significant bias, the fact that I get a sort of Monday morning feeling every time it's time to watch it suggests I should stop watching it and go back to my old ways!!
