TV coverage

[Diamond Geezer]

Final day of Royal Ascot being shown on More4 as C4 showing F1 racing at Baku same day, being a Saturday won't that only be qualifying ?

 

[Grasshopper]

It will be qualifying, yes, but C4's decision is obviously entirely correct.

 

[Venusian]

It will be interesting to see how the viewing figures for the Baku F1 qualifying compare to those for last year's Royal Ascot Saturday, as well as how the More4 broadcast audience stacks up.

It should also give a guide to how those days covered only on ITV4 next year will perform.

FFS... day one of the biggest event in racing and C4 give us go-kart phucking racing

Lol, I don't mind five minutes of the show for stuff like that - what I do mind is a twat like Matty Batchelor getting airtime

Thank god it's not just me....

Yes, for some reason they think a cheeky wee chappy with a strong accent gives the show kudos among a certain target audience. Phuck off.

The upside is that I can refill the teapot without missing owt.

RUK is usually very slick but introducing "Andrew "Choc" Thornton" wasn't their finest hour this morning.

WTF does Alice think she's doing trying to talk to the jocks before the race? We can't hear them anyway

Completely agree - it's a stupid idea, always has been.

 

[Ricko]

Indeed, I just said the same on the other thread. Embarrassing.

 

[granger]

Leave the jocks alone is right.

 

[Colin Phillips]

How many are on the Channel 4 gravy-train today?

Three times as many than is necessary (make that four).

 

[granger]

Quite likely to unsettle the horses as well.

Why do I get the idea that the people in charge of C4 racing know feck all about horses?!

"Out Sam in the top third of the field, oh no, he has gone back on the inside and is now second last"

Detached, held up....

Well done Catt.

Trying to watch it at work in between pretending to be doing some work: too many shots of crowd, people in crowd near the bookies, pictures of oh a rail and people taking pictures of ??/ oh can't see a horse anywhere!
And can they not spend so much time talking to them while they are just walking round and round on the course at the finish? Why can;t they do it walking down the horse walk? It's not fair on people waiting in paddock to see the horses in the next race, because everything is pushed back time wise because it all revolves round CH4.

Go-Karting again on Morning Line.
Give it a rest, ffs !

 

[Desert Orchid]

It's going to be on all week, it seems. Time to sort out the tea.

On the plus side, the opening sequence was good, as was the interview with Special Tiara's owner.

 

[little bay]

Go-karting totally irrelevant, no wonder they have lost the contract, also poor show not showing all the races, even the BBC managed to show them all using the red button facility.

Even Balding will find it difficult to find the sentimental angle in a go kart race.
