Possibly some blue language, I can't recall offhand. I can't stand to watch the new episodes because of their Trump-bashing and Brexit-bashing.
Unlikely things for Andy Murray to think - Mock the Week - Series 12 Episode 9 - BBC Two

It appears Andy Murray will be walking away from tennis in 2019, but exactly when is still up in the air. The British champ announced that he plans to retire this year, saying he'd like to play through Wimbledon in July but may not be able to make it that far.
Murray, 31, has battled lingering hip issues for nearly two years and has been unable to return to full strength. As Murray met with the media on Thursday to talk about the Australian Open, which begins on Monday, he tearfully delivered the news.
"Obviously I have been struggling a long time and I have been in pain for about twenty months now,' Murray told reporters as he battled his overwhelming emotions. "I've pretty much done everything that I could to try and get my hip feeling better and it hasn't helped loads. I'm in a better place than I was six months ago but still in a lot of pain. It's been tough.
'I'm going to play here. I can still play to a certain level, not a level I'm happy playing at. It's not just that. The pain is too much really, I don't want to continue playing that way."

Unlikely things for Andy Murray to think - Mock the Week - Series 12 Episode 9 - BBC Two
Murray was unlucky to be playing in the era of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
If anything they all made each other better.
He would have been 3rd or 4th best in most big tennis eras.
Very good player overshadowed by Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. Much like Andy Roddick. But he got his Wimbledon. And a US Open too I believe. Hope he gets to play Wimbledon one last time.
Two-time Wimbledon winner, and one US Open.
I’ll be happy when he retires. Worst on court etiquette of any player on tour. Always crying and ranting to his box, complaining about points, arguing with the umpire. Good riddance.
