You do realise that the F1 has been televised since 1953!

So you can take your 30 year old antiques show and shove it up your tailpipe.

You're right, I do realise that, but it doesn't alter the fact that the Antiques Roadshow is also a long running institution.

The Antiques Roadshow is brilliant. Perfect lying on the sofa whilst falling asleep after Sunday dinner television.

I'll tell you what's annoying, is having recorded the race for pretty much half the evening only for the BBC to switch it over to BBC2 midway resulting in my recording to stop.

They quite often swap it over as BBC1 has the prime time shows while BBC2 has lesser shows (or at least that's the way they see it, i think they forget they show dnacing on ice and easternders on BBC1 which almost brings the channel down to BBC3 levels)

To be fair, a lot more happens on the antiques roadshow...

It is quite good to watch. It's fun to guess how much things are worth and even funnier when they tell people their item is not from the 15th century but actually made by Dave down the road and is worth more melted down

I'll wear them with pride whilst watching my Lark Rise to Candleford boxset

Ignore all the antiques and their obession with antiques.

Did you even watch the GP? Or read the link..

We were treated to arguably one of the greatest races the motor sport has ever seen in the last twenty years,

I've never understood Antiques, Can't they afford New stuff ?

I would much prefer watching Antiques Roadshow than some cars racing round a track where all the danger has been removed.
If they had let the race continue when the conditions were really bad then it might make it more interesting than watching paint dry.

Steady on, one of the greatest races in the last 5 years I'd agree, 10 years just maybe but 20? Really? Pull the other one

Definitely worth the (very long) wait, definitely worth delaying the Antiques Roadshow but let's not get carried away

Liampope · 14 Jun 2011 at 21:45

OP get outta here! The roadshow rocks!!!

Nope. I assume somebody managed to overtake another car at some point?

Noxia · 14 Jun 2011 at 21:50

Yep, was waiting for Family Guy (yes I know it was on BBC3) to record on BBC HD, noticed GP over ran, no problem. However they then cut it out completely and showed whatever was meant to be on at the time it finished, not amused. However, if I had to choose between watching F1 or the Antiques Roadshow, well that would be like choosing if I wanted to lose my left eye or my right eye.

I'd rather watch Antiques Roadshow than some procession of cars following each other round a closed track for what seems like hours on end. Its as exciting as golf.

RDM · 14 Jun 2011 at 22:20

Wasn't the race still stopped when antiques roadshow should have been on? In which case rather than stopping it for "the greatest races the motor sport has ever seen in the last twenty years" it was actually stopped for "some blokes chatting about a race that wasn't currently happening".

Some idiot at the BBC should have switched the GP to BBC2 at 20:00 and the problem would have been solved. No one here wanted to see it go on indefinitely. At least they had the sense to switch it to BBC2 at 21:00 hours.

I think it was the whole 15 minute thing that mucked stuff up (it was scheduled to end at 2015 not 2000). YOu can't put it over early or you will have dead air (you can't play a program early or you would have just as many complaints of people missing the start) and you can't put the f1 over 15 minutes into a program as that would just be plain insulting. They just had to wait until both schedules had a common break which was at 9.
