The BBC have announced that John Inverdale will present a dog toy or sextoy game during rain delays at this year’s Wimbledon championships.
The move comes amidst concerns that the BBC couldn’t screen an impromptu Cliff Richard sing along such as in 1996 due to ongoing legal action between the corporation and the singer.
Tristan Barbour-jacquet spokesman for the BBC said “rain delays are always a problem when broadcasting Wimbledon. There’s only so many times you can interview Tim Henman about losing in 2002 so we asked around for ideas.
John suggested dog toy or sex toy as it was increasingly popular in some areas of London as a dinner party game. Basically John will spend the time showing pictures of various toys and viewers will text or tweet whether they think it’s a dog toy or sex toy”.
It’s understood by the Herald that the LTA were against the idea however the BBC’s offered alternative was John Inverdale unplugged. John was to have sat on a stool on Center Court singing classics from the great American songbook.
This idea was shelved when it was realised John only knows the words to Yogi Yogi Bear. The LTA promptly dropped all opposition to dog toy or sex toy.
