What is it with the BBC today ???

[Chuggaboom]

I have no problems with them being pro GB but to, without notice or advise during such, drop P2 altogether, and then with no evening replay of P1/P2 as usual in the evening, it is rather taking the f***ing p**s to be blunt !

If they want to blatantly favour coverage of GB participants at Wimbledon, then fine, but then why not open up another red button channel !?!? Money ?

And to top it all off, they then totally b***ar about with what's shown on BBC1 or 2 tonight.....WTF !!!

Sport on 2 as usual would have been fine....I'm sure we could have all found what we wanted on 2 or RB if we'd wanted !!!

T***s !

It is to do with Glastonbury why it isn't on in the evening.

More people watch Wimbledon than FP. Not rocket science to work that out.

Ps use your red button and watch it now.

It's only Practice FFS, hardly quali or the race, Glastonbury and the tennis are both bigger events.

Go and watch it online if you're bothered.

They're only the support acts and the early rounds, FFS.

Go and watch them live if you're bothered.

I think you will find Glastonbury is a lot bigger than either First or Second Practice of the European GP in Valencia. Use a little common sense.

Formula 1 Practice session 1 and Practice Session 2 - usually on the "red button" channel, but bumped for ball smashers and dodgy warblers.

It was on the red button last night as a replay.

I watched it ok.

Boo-f*ing-hoo. It was just practice. The BBC shouldn't waste any licence fee on that (IMHO).

Imagine Aunty broadcasting rehearsals for EastEnders just for the mouthbreathers who can't get enough shouting.

Pleased to see that Wimbledoom has taken a back seat in this thread..

Keep up the good work, lads...

The "red buttons" used to be on Freeview 301 and 303 but the second one has vanished now.

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't find the whole race on i-Player, only the highlights as I was unable to watch it Sunday.

But, as I understand it the race was a bit dull, so I don't think I missed much, but still, it should really have the whole thing on i-Player surely.
