To wish sport would fuck off BBC1 tonight

[Sallystyle]

So I can watch The Voice and Casualty?

It's always the bloody programmes I like to watch that are messed around with. Even if my programmes are a bit shit!

I hate the way they are always mucking about with Casualty. I have saved myself a Grey's from midweek to fill the gap.

DH has just reminded me that I was out last Saturday so I have an episode of Casualty to catch up on . However he is watching rugby on the big tv so I have the choice of DSS's pit room or the tablet (so can't MN at same time)

It would still be a big game if it was on a sports channel.

Which would be a good idea if there was a non subscrption one. However there isn't.

I wish there was far more sport on the BBC.
It's about the only thing I watch.

I don't have any sports channels. Can't be doing with most sport. One night out of 52 Saturdays I get something good.
Tbf though they could've put it on BBC2.

I've been really excited about the voice all day today and then remembered it isn't on

I bloody hate talent programmes like The Voice and soaps like Casualty, but I also hate SPORT SPORT SPORT whenever there's a "big match" or something. If the BBC can justify splitting off into BBC News, BBCs 3&4, BBC Parliament, and BBC Red Button (even if not all those experiments survived), and ITV can manage ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, and probably a couple of others by now, they can certainly justify a sports channel, and those of us who aren't interested don't have to have our programmes titted about with.

MOTD can blooming feck off!

Exactly, AYD2MITalkTalk , I would prefer a BBC Sports to Parliament. At least DH and DSS could watch sport elsewhere and leave me the few hours of rubbish I stay awake for.

AYD2MITalkTalk - I was just coming on to suggest a BBC Sport!

It could give more time and coverage to things like women's football and less popular sports that still have a large following, like ice hockey.

And I wouldn't have to wait 24 hours to marvel at Boy George's hats

Sport trumps everything else on TV. If there's a big match, sod the very large proportion of the population who hate it. I'm sure most TV commissioning is managed by men. But I do, reluctantly, accept this is a big match tonight. Going to miss Casualty. Boo hoo. Couldn't they move it over to BBC2?

Yabu. The Voice and Casualty are the reason I DONT watch NBC on a Saturday night ........

My 88 year old dad doesn't have spesh telly.

He will be watching.

But I ageee. It could be on 2.

Not everyone has (or can afford) designated sports channels, so I love the fact the Six Nations is on free-to-air channels, and it's a welcome change from the usual shit that is served up.

Spesh telly? You mean the digital broadcasts that everyone has because the analogue system with 5 channels has been turned off?

I have just sat down to watch the voice, I may have to talk to my husband - only he is watching the rugby so he won't reply

I'm fed up of talentless shows on every Saturday night. As soon as one finishes another starts.

I'm enjoying the rugby as is my family. Come on England

Spesh telly? You mean the digital broadcasts that everyone has because the analogue system with 5 channels has been turned off?

I took that to mean sky/Virgin etc where the sports subscription channels are.

So much sport is now only available on a paid for basis I welcome any the BBC has on. I don't think there is anything like enough sport on mainstream TV.

Ch4 have formula 1 that means tonnes of car programmes least when it was on Bbc was just the race

Fair enough door - if the BBC would just do a terrestrial sports channel, tho, it would make life a lot easier and more pleasant.

You'd rather watch The Voice and Casualty rather than rugby? Really? Really? Have you looked at he players recently?

Yes I meant paid for spesh telly.

He has all them other channels

I kind of see where you're coming from. But imo, anything that replaces the shite that is the Voice can only be seen as a good thing.
Very annoyed about Casualty though
