[Other Sport] Prime time Friday night BBC telly

[Weststander]

I love rugby union, but putting an inevitable French home win over they always lose Italy on BBC1 is a joke.

The viewing figures are going to be astonishly low, if the BBC tell the truth. Some kind of record low.

Both teams have a 0-2 record at the moment as well. Exciting stuff.

The Marseilles crowd think they're world beaters for overcoming the joke of european rugby at home. Now a snoozefest as Gabby Logan bores on in her unknowledgeable review.

I do not have an aerial, sky or virgin plugged into my telly and haven’t had for a good two years! I stream everything!

Do the BBC not employ any male presenters anymore!

Jesus, watching the Winter Olympics you'd have thought it's a crime to have a winky.

especially on the sporting side. Possibly positive discrimination to balance the 'injustice' of the last 80 years.

Scraping the barrel. Same reason they are plugging shite like curling.

And women's football..............

Not sure in these days of streaming, smart TVs and associated channels there is such a thing as prime time tv.

Exactly. Apart from live sport (not egg chasing obvs) everything we watch is off the Sky+ planner or downloaded. There is no prime time any more. And I'm old.

Any good?

Yes it's great viewing IMO.
New series just started on ITV.

 

[chaileyjem]

And they are showing a rugby match between two foreign countries.

What the hell is that all about?!

Wait until the summer . There'll be live prime time tv devoted to multiple matches played by 2 foreign countries. Every night for weeks.
Football matches.

On the subject of smart tv's.
We've just lost the ITV & C4 apps on our smart tv, it no longer supports them on our model, probably time for an upgrade.
Still have iPlayer and the carthorse, that is C5 app.
