TV coverage

Emma interviewed APOB before Oaks yesterday -didn't waste viewers time by asking him about his 50/1 outsider.
 
Work has blocked all websites with any gambling undertones, RP, ATR, IR etc

Yet when I clock the direct link of DG above, I can access the RP.

Anyone know why?

They did the same in my workplace but I successfully appealed it.

I argued that while racing is a sport that people bet on, so are many other sports such as football, tennis, basketball etc etc. I also pointed out that many people follow racing without betting on it, or only having an occasional bet, just as with other sports. So now racing sites are accessible and only the betting sites are blocked.

Across the five afternoons, Channel 4's Royal Ascot coverage secured 2.86 million viewers, less than one per cent down on 2014's 2.91m total. However, the latest numbers continue to represent a loss of around 4m viewers, equivalent to a 58 per cent drop, on the BBC's 2012 total of 6.9m.
 
Big Mac was to channel 4 what Jeremy Clarkson was to Top Gear. The best entertainment we get now is Tanya Stevenson's hillarious dress sense and how she has excelled at the art of rudeness. Staring at a lap top whilst begrudgingly trying to look interested in Brian Gleeson.: )

I quite enjoyed, even though I did my absolute bollocks, watching all the races on RUK when I got home last week.

Gina is quite cute, but she has that Stepford wife vibe about her.

I think Chapman is hilarious. I can appreciate he is a bit of a bell end but he is far more watchable than any other racing presenter around at the moment and a lot more knowledgeable than people first think. Having said that, I predominantly watch RUK because it has the better tracks and in many ways is a better channel than RUK. That said it is a specialist channel catering for a specific audience and Chapman might be the answer for Joe Public.

C4's biggest problem is Graham Cunningham, he is dull as f@ck. And ever so slightly pompous, with a hint of arrogance thrown in. I can't watch him. Or listen to him drone on.

How do the attendance figures year on year look for RA and racing generally? I have no data to back up my assumption that generally the sport is still in good health in attendance terms and if that were the case, it would be safe to assume that its C4's shite coverage failing to bring in new viewers.
 
Chapman rarely fails to ask the questions that I'd like answered from guests. Has more time I suppose on ATR but a fair barometer all the same.
 
His closest shot at confrontation was to Lay her a £100 bet ............ which she can't lose. :blink:
The gay, campish Newcastle bookie interviewed by Tanya has ten times the balls than Cunny.

To icebreaker....does camp or campish really alude to gayness? My lecturer once called me camp at uni...but i dont't think it was meant in a gay way...afterall....im not gay.: )

Outwardly extrovert displays of camp-ness always screams "Gay" to me.
But I appreciate that may be me being unfairly judgemental and stereotyping.
I therefore apologize unreservedly to you, Marble, ............................ and to all the other campish members of TalkingHorses. :)
 
That edition of the ML this morning must have been the most boring hour of TV ever conceived and delivered. I suppose today's cards hardly gender excitement, but who booked those guests?
