Watched "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". All three films were excellent, can't believe there are going to be Hollywood versions, surely they won't be a patch on the originals!
Can't see it, the BBC is supposed to appeal to a broad range of interests, and they couldn't possibly ditch all sport.
F1 gets anything from 6M to 10M viewers, which is clearly in the BBC's remit of appealing to a greater audience.
I see Bernie is now saying the races that are not live on BBC will be shown "as live" on the BBC later in the day. Sounds like a climb down.
Exactly. It's a real shame.
Sky can help themselves to Eddie Jordan if they want but hopefully the BBC can keep the rest, especially Brundle!
EDIT: Brundle on Twitter: "BBC/Sky/F1 2012+. Found out last night, no idea how it will work yet I'm out of contract, will calmly work through options Not impressed"
At a time when people are not too keen in spending any money on anything to do with Murdoch, Sky Sports end up with the F1 coverage!
Viewing figures will plummet for the Sky-only races. Wonder if they will manage to keep the races ad free, which were a disaster for ITV.
Terrible stuff, all because the BBC have to cut costs.
