Hearn complains to BBC for cutting coverage of O'Sullivan's win

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn has lodged a complaint with the BBC after it pulled the plug on coverage of Ronnie O’Sullivan’s opening Crucible match last night when victory was in sight.

Rather than show O’Sullivan polish off a first-round Betfair World Championship win in his first match since announcing his comeback, BBC2 switched to show a repeat of Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em.
