Excellent news. I might even take the day off from cricket to re-live part of my childhood with Moshe Jnr.

Won't be the same without being able to flick over to Saint & Greavsie though...

Great stuff. I'm VERY tempted to fully indulge in an all-dayer, although there's a good chance I will be in BITS by the time the game kicks off.

That or asleep.

Always remember the shot of Gordon McQueen and (Jimmy Nicholl?) in bed aswell as filming Brian Robson shaving. God, we need to get back to cutting edge TV.

They don't appear to have scheduled the teams' coach journey from their country house hotels to Wembley - accompanied by a BBC reporter interviewing the players. That was always the best bit. Mind you probably a bit pointless these days, given that it will just be a bunch of Carlos Kickaballs wearing oversize headphones updating their Twitter feeds.

Is Ken Bailey still alive? Will there be songsheets?Have the Grenadier Guards been disbanded? The magic of the Cup. Hmm. Isn't it?

As its only on BCC they will not be showing Jackie Pallo v Micck McManus then. mind they must be very old now if they are still both alive.



Just checked wiki and it says Jackie Pallo died in 2006 and Mick McManus in 2013.

Pretty sure I'm at a mate's with a group of friends for an all day bbq / drinking thing. The same mate who got me in all kinds of trouble with my Mrs following a day in the 1901 for the Brentford game and later managed to start a game of human dominoes celebrating our second against Leeds. As with Easy 10 this has CARNAGE written all over it.
