We went down to SW19 to have a look at IBM's "bunker" beneath the courts from which it runs the scoring systems and the website for the world-famous tennis championships.

Worst production erver!

Having seen this was available (p 69 of current CA) I was looking forward to seeing some of the technicals at Wimbledon. Instead: boring people talking - but much worse ... Has anyone heard of using a tripod or a personal mic? Couldn't hear what was being said - low level and much background noise - and I felt seasick afterwards! Technically an extremely amateur production not worth watching.
