    But it does go to show how badly fucked up the whole thing is this year.
    No-one *knows* when the practices are, when the qualifying is, when the
    races are, which races are being beamed live by Eurosport, which ones are
    being beamed live by the Beeb and which ones are on the red button and which
    Beeb channel is showing the actual event live.

    It's a **** up of the first water IMO.

  2. Map one may be as thick as? (4)
    Wonder how soon after 2200 it'll be on iPlayer? They got Dr Who
    up less than 15 minutes after the broadcast last night.

    Keep up. There's a new deal. Eurosport now have a deal so that they can
    show everything live apart from the MotoGP race. The race will be shown
    an hour or so after the actual start.

    If you want to watch the MotoGP race live, then that is only available
    from the Beeb in some guise. They've made a commitment to show each race
    live, but how that pans out over the season, we'll have to see.

    Dunno how they coped with yesterday's rescheduled race. I stuck to
    Eurosport.

    They showed it live on the "Red Button" channel (Freeview 301) at 6.45pm
    and repeated it on BBC2 some time after midnight. A reasonable
    compromise considering they're not a sports-only channel.

    I swear Charlie Cox is getting more irritating. The man talks nothing
    but complete shit. Stavros I like but Cox can, frankly, go **** himself
    with a Perry.

    I guess so.
    I didn't bother with any Beeb coverage. With Eurosport showing it now in
    widescreen and seemingly without ad breaks, I'm happy with the 1 hr delay
    in broadcast. I always record the race and watch it in the evening
    anyway, although obvious this weekend it was already on in the evening.
    Depends on what kind of illness she's had. She's been off the Gadget Show
    for a few weeks too.

    I like that the bbc do pit lane interviews right after, then swapping
    back to eurosport gives the post race intervew

    Ectopic[1] pregnancy apparently. A statement on her website says
    she's going to only be doing the European rounds of MotoGP.


    [1] Why does that word always make me think of Ghostbusters?

  9. She had a theory that just about every female TV presenter/pop
    star/Country singer was a post-op TS.

    She was never one to let mere facts get in the way.
