League results and tables

Does anybody reading this know of any recent results, or up to date league tables from Div 1 ?

The obvious answer is to look on the new Coventry chess league website, but unless i'm losing the plot, the most up-to-date results seem to be partial results from the 25th Oct.

Bobby Fischer

At 9pm on Wednesday 30th November BBC 4 9pm Storyville there is an analysis of Bobby Fischers life.

May be worth a watch as it is unusual for chess to even get a mention on any TV programme.
