I wonder will it be on BBC 1 / 2 or only on digital channels?

We will be one of the last areas to be switched off from analogue because the repeater transmitters all need upgrading for digital.

I could get some channels now if I had a new big aerial fitted aligned to main transmitter some 30 miles away but that seems pointless when it would need changing / adjusting when the local transmitter is upgraded.

About farking time too.ITV's constant adverts put me off F1,as well as the FIA's decision to change the rules.F1 belongs at the Beeb,if anyone watches Superbikes on BBC2 they would back me up on this.Hopefully the British Superbikes also goes to BBC.I can't stand adverts,neither can i stand ITV.

Hopefully the Beeb bring back that Fleetwood Mac song as the theme.I can't remember for the life of me what the song is called.

F1 on ITV has become boring!

I know the adverts interuption has been a big part of viewers gripe, which i fully agree with. But the F1 sport and Bernie has a lot to do with how F1 has ended up...pedicable!

The commentary from that guy James wotshisname has about as much excitment as listening to Terry Wogan. Thank god Martin Brundel is on hand to inject some life into the sport with his technical and track knowledge.

I also think that F1 should look at the way the americains do they're coverage of motor sports. In my humble opinion, its second to non....ok, the commentary can be OTT at times, but at least they make it sound exciting. (Ive always said that a good commentator can make a bad race look good, and bad one make a good race look bad). Also, the amount of cameras on the cars, and not just static ones either, camera's in car shots that follows a car as its being passed.

So if BBC can do anything to help lift F1 up again, they need to look at the commentary and on the technical side, camera's shots.

For the record, i think the commentator should be Ben ? (forgive me, ive forgotten his bloody surname lol). He does the champ car commentary.

It's going to be Richard Hammond presenting it. Don't know what he looks like in leather? Have to ask the ladies.

Suzy Perry, I thought.

Think i'll pass on the thought of The Hamster in leather.Suzi is well fit presenting the Superbikes and Moto GP.
