It's day 15 of the Olympics, so John Inverdale and Sir Steve Redgrave are wanking each other off into Gabby Logan's hair. Then Hazel Irvine comes in frigging herself off and accidentally shits all over the floor in a great deluge of diarrhoea containing whole beansprouts. Claire Balding sees this and starts to lick it up, in so doing causing the large boil on her back to burst, revealing...

For those with a more niche taste there's the old-school, big-ego presence of John Inverdale, who has been cast out to prowl the riverbank on Olympic Breakfast's behalf. Inverdale is extremely watchable, partly because it's clear there's a bit of him that still secretly thinks all this is really just about getting John Inverdale - yeah! Inverdale, baby! - on...

... that rowers actually rely on little motors under the boat. However it wasn’t that. Instead John Inverdale’s cro-magnon visage was explaining (by pointing) that the machine that made little bubbles to mark the finish line had blown up. Indeed behind him was clouds of thick smoke (admittedly difficult to distinguish from the smog) and a black smudge hole in the Olympic rings. Inverdale...

Still, they certainly have time to prepare. Irvine had anchored the show for only a short while before she also skipped off for a lie-down, presumably with Chiles and sundry other snoring anchors. For most of her shift she hadn't done anything as John Inverdale was fronting coverage by the lake. As soon as Irvine announced she would "pass the baton to Sue Barker", coverage cut inexplicably...
