BBC One will have no programmes other than Olympics and news programmes (at their normal times) from 5.45 pm on Friday 26th July to the Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday 11th August. During the news programmes BBC Two will have the Olympics.
BBC Two will be also having The Hundred cricket matches on as well, Won't be on every day though. The matches they intend to cover (I think the women's matches are played in the afternoon and the men's in the early evening to about 9.30 pm):
Tuesday 23 July afternoon and early evening
Thursday 25 July afternoon and early evening
Thursday 1 August afternoon
Saturday 3 August afternoon
Sunday 4 August afternoon
Thursday 8 August afternoon
Saturday 10 August afternoon
Tuesday 13 August afternoon and evening
Wednesday 14 August evening
Saturday 17 August afternoon
Sunday 18 August afternoon and evening
I won't be surprised if there aren't widespread complaints by those who aren't interested in sporting events.

You can put me at the top of that list El 
I really don't know why the BBC don't have a dedicated sports channel..

Good morning everyone
Fairly sunny here and warmer than yesterday. BBC forecast as high of 25°, Met Office 27°
Very warm tomorrow with highs of BBC 26°, Met Office 29°
Cooler on Saturday - highs of BBC 21°, Met Office 22°. Some rain also expected with the BBC forecasting thunderstorms and the Met Office not.
I hope everyone has a good day

A heat wave of miniscule proportions I think they said (in so many words) 
G'day folks!

Although there's a yellow heat alert in place, it doesn't seem likely to become an official heatwave. For instance in my area, the threshold is 27°. That may be reached today and more likely tomorrow. But Saturday is expected to be cooler. So only 2 days rather than the 3 required for it to be an official heatwave

There have been major problems around the world with IT systems this morning affecting ait and train travel, card payments, pharmacies and many more businesses. Sky News was off air for a time but is back. The CBBC channel also off air.
It's to do with Microsoft systems for businesses etc. May be something to do with Crowdstrike which provides Falcon Driver antivirus software and had done an update. That software is business related so unlikely to be on home computers,

It's crazy stupid how an update can cause such widespread chaos .....and it's kind of worrying that it can 
@slimfern posted:The damage is already done though El...surely it would make more sense for them to test the update prior to sending it out.
Apparently the update included a faulty kernel driver. The update was removed 78 minutes after it became available and a fix a few hours later. 78 minutes mightn't seem that long but with many business computer systems on the whole time, that was enough to cause today's chaos.
Kernel drivers operate at the core of computer operating systems.
The update would have been tested but clearly failed to identify that there was a problem.
It does do to show though that computer systems are vulnerable. Businesses should have already got a recovery plan as to what do do when something like this happens

Be vary wary about any emails you get about a fix for yesterday's global IT outage. There are warnings about criminals sending out bogus software fixes.
Unlikely that home computers would have the bug on them unless they were linked to the users place of work computer systems.

Slim, some films to note on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.
Tomorrow at 16.05 "The Thief" (1952) which starred Ray Milland as a nuclear scientist and a spy. Unusual film nor thriller as there's no dialogue. Doesn't quite work though worth a look at.
Thursday at 17.35 "The Trouble with Angels" (1966) which starred Rosalind Russell (as the Mother Superior) at a convent school and Hayley Mills (19 at the time) as a high-spirited student. Delightful comedy and worth watching/
Watched "And Then There Were None" last evening, a very good film with a touch of black comedy. Even though I hadn't seen it for many years I still remembered whodunnit.
Strangely enough Talking Pictures are showing "Ten Little Indians" (1965) tomorrow which is closer to a remake of that film rather then Agatha Christie's novel though set on a mountaintop mansion.
