Johnny Herbert would be a good replacement for when Ant can't make it

You should be glad with the BBC, here in Holland we have some people who are beyond there expiration date and still doing the same thing year after year. They also think they are making a program for people with less than two braincells... I am still very happy that BBC broadcasts F1 now (I can't receive ITV here in Holland) and the quality is still way better than their dutch equivalent. Is Martin Brundle still doing the gridwalk this year?

According to the listings, Malaysia starts on BBC One and finishes on BBC Two. If true that's a bit stupid...and worrying. F1 getting shafted for the religious types...

Surely Mr Ratzinger has enough money to do what NASCAR do and pump his stuff out on Open Access 3? At least the motor racing will be real ...

Why not just put the whole Malaysia race on BBC2? I dread to imagine whether the Sky+ boxes and similar will cope with it.

er. you might be forgoting that it is also kids might like to watch thier programs as it is also full term for them meaning BBC might be in a no win headache when it comes to the April 4 race

To be honest, I find this whole "We apologise for any inconvenience, but we will now be switching the sports programme you are currently watching on BBC1 to BBC2 so that the normal BBC1 programs can be shown" malarkey rather silly, especially in this day and age.
be it Wimbledon, or the Grand Prix. (I refuse to watch that nonsense where 22 grown men chse a bag of wind around a big lawn with white lines painted on it!). OK, I admit that I am old enough to remember when not everyone had (or could receive) BBC2, but that is no-longer the case. With the onset of nationwide (without Frank Bough or Michael Barret) digital TV coverage, every house should be able to receive all 8 or 9 (or however many) BBC channels there are, so their 'usual' programs (usually The News types of programme that no-one would want to record anyway!) could be shifted to one of those instead, allowing the sports programme to continue uninterrupted. |

I have to agree there, especially when the religious programming could easily go to BBC2. |

I'm not religious, but it has to be remembered that it is Easter Sunday, and this is a holy day for Christians, many will tune in to watch mass and stuff. As we are a predominantly Christian country it is right that this is given priority over sport by the BBC.
But why not show the race on BBC2?? |

The BBC should show what gets the most viewing figures. Plus, without wanting to get into a religious debate, I'm an athiest and strongly contest that this is a predominantly Christian country and strongly contest why the faith stuff should be on the main channel. So why not show the religious stuff they probably recorded in October on BBC Two? I record all the races on Sky+ so I can DVD them after. This just makes things awkward. I know that they're not going to be taking decisions based on a small minority who Sky+ the races (although not as small as you think) but the point is why bother switching in the first place? They don't need to Last edited by jab; 7 Mar 2010 at 11:52. |

But how hard is it just to change channels? ITV had adverts every 2 minutes where we saw nothing.
Having to change channels once during a season (which is probably all it will be) is hardly back breaking is it |

Anyway, James you are right, changing channels is not beyond the wit of man. It is a little silly though. |

Anyway, some good preview stuff has gone up on the BBC website today - round table discussion with Humphrey, Legard, Brundle, EJ and DC. It's a good laugh - 45 minutes worth too so no complaining from me Looks like the big push starts today |
