What on earth was the BBC thinking?

So the Prime Minister of 10 years standing is answering his final question at PMQs and what does the BBC do? Cut away to a trailer and then the tennis. This is a complete abdication of its public service responsibilities.

It has denied viewers the chance to witness a historic moment. Indeed, it is hard to see what event could have justified cutting away in these circumstances. What is certain is that a second round tennis match doesn’t come anywhere close. 

There is, rightly, collective outrage about this. The BBC needs to admit that its judgement was completely off on this one.

Update: The BBC has apologised.
