Total Moronic BBC Scheduling
 
Who was the MORON at the BBC who decided to schedule the Grand Prix practice
session on BBC1 instead of Merlin and now it's overrunning into Strictly
Come Dancing by 15 minutes and it looks like its going to be another ****ing
hour before the qualifying session is even going to start because of a rain
delay.

LIKE WHO **** WAS GOING TO WATCH THIS CRAP TO BEGIN WITH?

How many people did the BBC think it was going to get. Merlin get 6 million.
Strictly get 9 million.

ITS A ****ING PRACTICE SESSION FOR ****S SAKE. IT'S NOT EVEN THE ACTUAL
****ING GRAND PRIX!

Why didn't these ****ing morons put it on interactive.

Someone tell me how many viewers it got. I doubt it will be over a 1
million.

****ING IMBECILES!

Because I suspect F1's contract specifies if must be available on BBC 1 or 2

So what ? The BBC are a public service broadcaster. I'm no fan of cars going
around in circles, but ITV treated the coverage with very little respect when
they held the rights. Anyway, calm down, it's only poxy old TV, not the end of
the world.

The OP's rant is proof (as if proof were needed) that the BBC's normal output
appeals to morons.

The BBC seem to have no respect at all for the Saturday evening
schedule. It is different almost every week. Regular programmes, like
the Lottery[1] and Casualty, are shown at different times every week. Even
then they often, as today, do not keep to the schedule. Every day except
Saturdays, regular programmes are shown at the same time every week with
only occasional deviations from the regular schedule.

[1] Which is sometimes a full length show and sometimes just an
abbreviated one with just some of the draws shown.

But I don't understand why the BBC broadcasts the qualifying sessions,
in the first place. It strikes me as being a complete waste of
resources - that is, licence payers' money.


Because AIUI it determines the starting positions for the main race, so
normally has a direct effect on the eventual winner. As I say, I find motor
racing incredibly tedious, but I do acknowledge it is a combination of
engineering, tactical decisions, and driving skill. Therefore it does deserve
proper and full coverage.

Now I'm slightly annoyed. Fires up Freeguide CTRL+F "Challenges of
Life" reveals another showing at 00.55 on the 23rd. Whether this is
the signed version I'm not sure.

You could always go to iPlayer ;-\

But DO make a complaint on bbc.co.uk. The more complaints they get, the
less they might do it!

I wrote to my MP after the Wimbledon channel switches, particularly as
Local News gets lost to digital viewers. She wrote to the DG, who (as
she passed it on to me)obviously sent her the standard script.

She then wrote back saying not good enough, I'll be writing to the
government. And.......
A reply came back hinting that he would instigate an investigation into
how regional news might be protected from sport hopping channels.

Not quite removing sport from BBC1 scheduled programmes, but the
suggestion was also made that maybe BBC3 and BBC4 should be merged to
release one, with extended hours, for a BBC Sports channel.

Actually, it was qualifying. But that's the thing with live coverage, it
happens when it happens.

So hold on to your hat as tomorrow's race is going to be on at teatime
too.

instead of Merlin and now it's overrunning into Strictly
Come Dancing by 15 minutes and it looks like its going to be another ****ing
hour before the qualifying session is even going to start because of a rain

I don't think a 15 minute delay on the dancing is going to kill anyone
and it was (thank you BBC for not just abandoning the coverage!)
transferred over to BBC2 for the rest of the session at that point.

LIKE WHO **** WAS GOING TO WATCH THIS CRAP TO BEGIN WITH?


Me.


How many people did the BBC think it was going to get. Merlin get 6 million.
Strictly get 9 million.

ITS A ****ING PRACTICE SESSION FOR ****S SAKE. IT'S NOT EVEN THE ACTUAL
****ING GRAND PRIX!


No, it was still qualifying.


Why didn't these ****ing morons put it on interactive.


Yes, that was indeed the place to see the practice sessions and where
they were shown earlier in the day and yesterday - so you are spot on
there at least.


Someone tell me how many viewers it got. I doubt it will be over a 1
million.


It usually gets between 4 and 5 million.

****ING IMBECILES!


Yes, I really think you are. :-)
