Live from Wimbledon

Live from The Championships in Wimbledon, Ken is talking to the tennis fans and stars. It is 90 years since the first radio broadcast from Wimbledon and Ken's celebrating.

Live from The Championships in Wimbledon Ken is talking to 大象传媒 presenters and former players Sue Barker, Boris Becker and Andrew Castle about this years event. Plus he catches up with his old friend, presenter and commentator John Inverdale to find out what he thinks about the competitors in 2017. It's 90 years since the first radio broadcast from Wimbledon, 80 years since the first TV transmission, and 50 years since the first programme in colour from the Championships. Lynn Bowles is also getting out and about meeting the people who queue all night for the chance to take a seat on Henman Hill and catch all the action from inside the grounds. Ken explores the site, to find the champions of the future and he also sneaks into the legendary Centre Court commentary box for the nation's favourite music quiz PopMaster.
