F1 Sky v BBC Thoughts ?

bring MB back to BBC - thats the only solution :D

Its a little harsh to compare a highlights show to any show that runs for twice as long. Saying that some of the **** the BBC come up with could easily never get filmed and the program would be better for it lol

That was only part of a far longer and much more cringe worthy sponsors quiz thing for Casio (I think). It's on youtube if you want to see the full horror. All 4 looked like they just wanted it to end as quickly as possible so they could leave. Why on earth big wigs think people will actually like that kind of stuff I'll never know.

Ah right I was wondering what the point of that all was! Was terrified to see it included and really confused at why it was a highlights reel of something utterly pointless...
 
Prefer the Sky coverage overall, prefer the commentary and even the things that annoyed me at first I've gotten used to, Simon and Georgie being the main things :p

I don't mind the BBC though and like DC, I sometimes switch over when there is something a bit boring on Sky when they both have a weekend... It's nice having the choice on those days :D
 
sky for the race coverage

bbc for post-pre race coverage

damon hill is the dullest man ever and johhny herbert never has anything interesting to say.
 
I watch BBC when it's live, and Sky using SkyGo when it's not live on the BBC.

Sky coverage has definitely improved since the start of the season, but that's not saying a lot.

The BBC coverage definitely isn't as good as it was last season but it's still better than Sky currently.

Some of the Sky analysis is good (SkyPad and Ted) and I do like Brundle, but the BBC just seems more 'natural', especially with the drivers and teams, whether in interviews or just walking around the paddock.

I would consider myself as somewhere between an intermediate F1 fan. I follow as many F1 people as I can on Twitter and love reading about all aspects of the sport between races.

Because of this, I don't think Sky is living up to its 'professional' billing. I can get tons more information from Scarbs and his ilk long before they mention it on Sky.

In fact, that's why I like the BBC and its 'Top Gear' style. I like Top Gear anyway, and I can get my technical analysis elsewhere so it becomes an entertainment show, rather than a technical show.

The problem with Sky is, they aren't technical enough to be a technical show, and they don't do the entertainment as well as the BBC to be a purely entertainment show.
 
f1 show is poop imo

they dont pick up on news stories , team developments etc either.

i would rather skim through the flying lap and see if any interesting points are raised on there and thats as boring as it gets but atleast you get the odd nugget where as sky seems to be more bothered about gp2
 
Yeah the F1 Show is a good idea but poorly executed. You only have to look at the number of news stories that come up every day on sites like Autosport and Scarbs that they should have enough material for a proper F1 news show but instead they rehash the previous race, some more talking head stuff, some silly item like Natalie Pinkham 'building' an F1 engine whilst giggling etc etc. They could have a really good F1 news show there if they tried.

Ted's tech bits are usually pretty good but a little brief. Also during the summer break they had a really good one where 3 journos sat with Crofty and discussed the season so far and it was probably one of the best shows they've done. Actual proper unbiased discussion. Why not talk to one of the photographers about his day and his gear and see how he gets those top class photos. Anything interesting!

They wouldn't dream of having a giggly Jamie Redknapp trying to make a football boot for the Premiership season so why do the same with F1!?

So you are criticising Sky for not being technical enough, but aren't bothered about the lack of tech on the Beeb as you use Scarbs anyway?
