Just been watching P3 on what I'm now going to think of as the rouge button. Typical Spa weather.

I think tomorrow has a better chance of being dry.

Very glad it wasn't like that when we were there...

If you get a chance, listen to the rerun of FP2 - really interesting discussion with Geoff Willis.

Ahh, it seems the PS3 IPlayer has much less content than the web version.
The only program listed under 'F' is 'Fee Fi Fo Fum' (which does sound like a fun program but it's just not F1).

I have the same problem on my Sony TV. I'd like to sit and watch the practice when I get home on a Friday evening, but certainly the last few races it hasn't been there, only on the web version (and watching it on my laptop isn't the same). I even sent a complaint to the BBC about it (no reply of course).

Yes I caught that this morning.

Try http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/ e.g. retuning.

That is for my local transmitter here in Norfolk, which makes the analogue->digital switchover soon. It looks like they are taking the opportunity to tidy up the multiplex no's. Interestingly, our Phillips TV in the kitchen lost the BBC group recently but the Sony TVs were fine. Me an the dogs watch a lot of BBC4 in the kitchen so hence I had to sort it out. Er indoors soaps were uninterrupted

I have also noticed this past few weeks the red button option has stopped working. This could possibly be related to my loss of the BBC multiplex/group as they fiddle about in the run up to switchover

it could be an expensive bit of revenge..

one ex-world champ was effectively disqualified for a whole season for deliberately driving into somebody

though I doubt the penalty will be that tough... Mansell, ex-Williams boy and all that..
