      BBC snub Keely Hodgkinson world record attempt for Blue Planet episode first broadcasted EIGHT years ago

      by

      THE BBC will not broadcast Keely Hodgkinson’s world record attempt this weekend on their main channels in a stunning snub.Team GB’s 800 metres Olympic champion is aiming to run the fastest time over the distance indoors on Saturday at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.Keely Hodgkinson’s world record attempt will be shown on BBC IplayerCredit: PAThe feat is the headline act of the inaugural Keely Klassic and other top British stars will be involved across the six-hour hybrid athletics/entertainment meeting.It will be her first appearance in running conditions since the Paris 2024 Olympics when she became Britain’s tenth female track-and-field winner in history.Yet TV bosses are not showcasing the 4.30pm race on BBC1 or BBC2 and it has been squirrelled away instead on the BBC iPlayer – away from casual viewers.BBC1 will be showing Blue Planet II – the Green Seas episode was first broadcast on November 26, 2017 – before Final Score, the football results programme, starts at 4.30pm.READ MORE IN SPORTAround the same time, BBC2 will show a repeat of the 2022 historical drama Mr Malcolm’s List and then it is an old episode of antiques show Flog It!The failure to give her event prominence is surprising given that Hodgkinson, 22, was crowned Sports Personality of the Year by the BBC last December.Hodgkinson’s success at the Stade de France last August was the BBC’s most watched event of the last Olympics with 9.1 million viewers tuning in to see her glory over two laps.It was one of 14 gold medals for Team GB at the Paris Olympics.Most read in AthleticsCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSThis year she is going for a Track Treble, trying to win gold at the European Indoors, World Indoors and World Outdoors within the space of seven months.The BBC declined to comment but it is understood Salford-based bigwigs feel they are supporting the Keely Klassic rather than snubbing it by displaying the action on the iPlayer and digital platforms.Amazing moment Keely Hodgkinson smashes British record to become sixth fastest woman ever ahead of Paris 2024 Olympics More

      ‘Nobody wants this’ Fans destroy BBC’s half-time innovation in FA Cup clash between Leyton Orient and Man City

      THE BBC have come under fire from baffled fans – for interviewing a player at HALF-TIME.Leyton Orient’s Dan Happe was thrown in front of the camera after his team’s impressive first-half performance at Brisbane Road.Dan Happe gave a half-time interview to the BBC during Leyton Orient’s FA Cup clash with Man CityCredit: BBCFans were baffled as the rain-sodden skippered was interviewed on his way to the dressing roomCredit: BBCAn own goal from Stefan Ortega gave the League One side a deserved lead at the break.The game was played in driving rain in East London, with Orient defending valiantly to preserve their lead.

No class!”READ MORE ON FOOTBALLAnother said: “Why are we now doing half time interviews… utter disgrace to the game, it’s not a circus.”While a third added: “Half time interviews? Literally surely the player has better things to be doing and thinking about at half time.”And a fourth raged: “Why do the BBC believe its appropriate to interview the captain of the lower division team even before he’s got off the pitch at half time. Try f*****g doing that to the City captain or Guardiola.
