I've said before on here but I once had a game of golf with Mark Lawrenson and we chatted shit about MoTD for the four odd hours. They get in in the morning, have a cup of tea and a laugh then watch all the matches and the spreadsheet lads pick out the taking points and they go over them all, then the late match is on in the background while there figuring out what to say, then they're at a loose end from eight till half ten and because back then it was in st John's wood and there weren't even any decent pubs nearby they'd just sit round looking at each other. BBC didn't even make them dinner so they'd take turns to go to a vending machine and get cans of coke and mars bars. Shearer lived in Newcastle but didn't like to fly so they had a van with a bed in the back of it to pick him up when it finished and do the drive back up the M1.
