I have just spotted that these are being shown this week (possibly highlights shows at around 5.00?) on BBC2 this week. The first show is today from 5 to 7.
They showed diving highlights this lunchtime. Tom Daley won gold, yay! But I was disappointed with the commentary as Leon Taylor's regular companion had been replaced, so it lacked the usual sparkle.

The Diving was relegated to the Red Button all week. I only found it accidentally as I had been watching the last showing of Sunday's Today At Wimbledon prog there and the diving appeared.
Tom did really well to get his gold. Chuffed for him.

Oh I didn't know it was on the RB, so I missed all the decent coverage then. Perhaps that is just as well as I know I would have watched for hours! Was Leon's usual fellow commentator on with him at all? I didn't really think his replacement was anywhere near as good, very bland.

No, it was the person you heard in the highlights, as those were lifted direct from the RB coverage. I'm sorry I didn't give you the heads up about it.  Next time ... |

Marion, I have just checked and it is all on iPlayer. There is the highlights show, plus all the RB coverage - 10 episodes altogether!  That's your viewing sorted for the week. |

A big surprise to me is that I can actually understand what the 2 male commentators are saying. Normally they mutter and giggle their way through like a couple of schoolboys and I can barely make out a word. Perhaps it is because Adrian isn't there setting the tone??? If that is the reason, I hope he doesn't come back.

I noticed that too! Usually they stop don't they? And if not, people used to write in to complain. I suppose they did marginally lower their voices but rather a poor show I thought.

There is no BBC2 show today, coverage at teatime is on the RB only for some reason (601).

I ended up watching this on Eurosport.
I found all the chatter between Helen, Rebecca and Mark irritating.

Its back! And is on Bbc2 every afternoon this week. I missed it this afternoon so am catching up on iplayer. We just got gold and silver in the 100m breaststroke and Peatty broke the world record in the semi.
Adrian Moorhouse isnt there. The other guy is paired with Jazz Carlin and it may be early but I have to say I could understand them, no burbling on.
Ps for those who missed it, the diving highlights are still on iplayer.
