What's on TV Tonight?

1--What's on the box tonight, does anyone know?

2--Oh nothing much. There's Panorama¹ at eight for an hour.

1--Oh good.

2--And then there's the football at nine twenty-five. I want to see that.

1--Oh not again! just a minute--what time does it finish? The last part of that thriller's on the other side at a quarter to eleven. I'd like to see that.

2--Well the football ends at eleven.

1--You'll have to miss the last fifteen minutes then.

2--You'll probably be asleep by then.

1--No I won't! At least your football doesn't clash with the new. I always like that on at nine.
