As many of you are no doubt aware, transfer deadline day actually started about two weeks ago over at Sky Sports. The studio has been given a makeover for the new season. Much like the new Doctor’s Tardis. And also like that rather unique Police Box, there is an irascible Scot at the the helm. But Sky Sports News’ very own timelord Jim White (‘the clock is TICKING!’) can’t be at the controls all the time. No worries, though, because his team of assistants have been fanning the flame for this particular Monday since the season began. Indeed, so much was the chain cranked over the approaching days, even come Monday morning, with over 11 hours to go, the studio felt like it was already at Def Con 1. One presenter even riffed on Jim’s repertoire and told us the ‘clock was ticking FAST’. Although on further inspection, it was actually ticking at the normal rate. Phew! No teething problems for the new studio there, then.
