I listened to some of it while driving. Bloody hell, I was almost in tears when Billie-Jean King was given her lifetime achievement award and hearing Ain't No Mountain High Enough, one of my favourite Motown songs (though prefer the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell version) was the icing on the cake. On the radio they spoke with 2 females while there was some VT activity on the telly; the 2 females, neither of them tennis players, spoke about how much Billie-Jean had done for females in sport. Only saw the actual presentation of the SPOTY award, what a great woman she is IMO. Will watch it over Christmas some time.

A truly inspirational woman.

never mind all that shit about who won, how come they let Baddiel, Skinner and That Fucking Band into the same building without dropping a bomb on  it?
Why were they singing 'Football's coming home', it DIDN'T England came 4th.
