We should run it on a completely random day like, oh I don’t know, let’s say Wednesday.

I believe she likes Ant & Dec so its a non-starter July 7, 2014 at 15:55 #484951 GladiateurParticipant Total Posts 4714 I think we should just let The Queen decide the fixture list. I believe she likes Ant & Dec so its a non-starter Hopefully, she’s got an aversion to the AW.

I’m sure HM could pull a few strings. July 7, 2014 at 19:26 #484959 BlackGoldParticipant Total Posts 1487 Channel 4 wouldn’t wear it. It would interfere with all those repeats of "Come Dine with Me" and "Restoration Man". It’ about time they realised that changing the time won’t do anything. They’ve got to get it back to the Beeb if they want figures to go up again.

Ask Joe Public for a Grand National winner and most would answer Red Rum because history was made when he became a triple winner. Racing remains a minority sport, unlike say football. Most people may like or dislike football but it is recognized . Author Posts Viewing 11 posts - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
