Top of the WHAT?

So I phoned home the other day. I must have got my parents in the middle of a football highlights show, because my father picked up and said, "We're watching Top of the Match."

To which I replied, "Top of the Match?? Father, did you just combine the names of two of the most successful BBC shows of all time, Top of the Pops and Match of the Day, and create a new programme?"

"Yes," replied Dad with a chuckle. "Top of the Match."
