Oh good - I just heard that on the news and I came over here to find out if it was true!

I sounds like Team B&Q are going take over the world, first the BTCC, then a football club and now a TV station, want next John B&Q for number 10 or Buckingham Palace

This story has also just broken on the London local news. Words to the effect that JB is getting together interested parties from the football and motorsport industries. Is john the next Bernie Ecclestone and will he bid for F1 Digital as well??
You never know - The Tenths Tenths Show could be quite good!!

The Man him self has just been on BBC 5 Live, he say that the deal maybe down in a matter of days, he also says that the new platform will show lots of motor sport and not just the type he is involved in (BTCC)

Well according to his profile on www.BandQsi.com he's already stood as a candidate for parliament and been a stand-up comedian, so he seems perfrctly qualified to be our next PM...

Yes, a club racing channel would be nice - but would it ruin club racing?

Good luck John - I sincerely hope it works out! You are mad though

As for The Ten Tenths Show, that would be a very bizarre and often silly sitcom. Episodes repeated daily, and filmed before a live studio audience (hey, they were live when they came in !?)

Lets see, two of the biggest broadcasters in the UK were unable to make it work so why has anyone else got a hope...

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I have turned the news on - but couldn't see anything - perhaps it's old news now!

What WILL he come up with next and WHY am I not suprised with anything John does any more?

Am I seasoned to this madness?

Fantastic news, i have to admit shouting at the radio when listening to Radio 2 of all things and Jonny Walker started yaking on about it!

As ever fingers crossed!
