Then I came home and wanted to watch the two sessions on replay on the Red Button, but there is no F1 replay because their only 3 streams feeding Wimbledon Tennis, and they are all washed out by the rain. So 3 streams showing nothing but rain and no F1 replay.

Checked a few times this evening and still no sign of F1 just tennis.

Disgrace.

I can watch Tennis, but to just show that and not any coverage of another major sporting event when they had the means is not on.

I haven't looked for a while so it may well now be on, but its to late for me.

Given that a repeat of antiques roadshow being postponed due to extended coverage of F1, last night My Family was postponed due to th Murray match, do you suppose 700 odd saddo's will write in to complain?

No because Tennis is worthy unlike Motorsport which is wasteful.

My Family should be postponed until at least 2040.

No way because BBC show so much Tennis around Wimbledon that it must be the ony thing that is worth watching.

Harsh ..... ish.

I enjoyed the first few seasons, when Nick the eldest son was around, he was great. Since then though with unfunny relations popping up it needs to be scrapped.

It has been

BBC Commentary was alright this weekend.

DC would want to open his eyes. He referred back to Spa 98, something he does a lot, saying clearly the old magic was still there when he saw MS with a broken wing overtake Sutil when clearly Sutil had simply ran wide. Clearly there was no magic here and the two incidents were nothing alike. Idiotic commentary like that from DC just makes me want to punch him.

Given my record with the ladies, I think my family has been postponed until at least 2040... :s

I only got to watch the race on TV this morning. Was Brundle supposed to be doing some laps of an F1 car in the pre race analysis or was that supposed to be for one of the coming races? I only skipped through the race and vaguely remember him mentioning this at some stage I thought.

He said it was for an upcoming feature, I guess during the British GP
