I realise Saturday afternoons are traditionally for sport, but...

Black Hole

May contain traces of nut
...one always used to be able to rely on a black & white musical on BBC2! Or at least I could in the 70's.

BBC1: Wimbledon
BBC2: Wimbledon
ITV: Rugby
C4: F1
C5: T20

Jeez.
 
How on earth are we getting $ky Sports Cricket for free on 5. I thought the owners of Sky had bought some part of ITV not 5.
You missed racing on ITV4.
The film channels have nothing of interest.
Shopping, food, news, god botherers, cops or children's programmes anyone?
 
You missed racing on ITV4.
I didn't, but (1) I was only originally thinking of the pre-digital channels, and (2) I wrote a follow-up post saying "ITV4: Horse racing" but didn't click the "post" button (or perhaps it didn't register). When I came back in the draft was still there.

I thought that about the F1.

Jeez.
I have always hated musicals but I have fond memories of the Saturday westerns and Abbot and Costello movies on BBC2
 
If only there was some way of watching something from the huge range of programmes that the broadcasters have on hand in their library ... 🙄
 
I thought that about the F1.
F1 is live because UK is the host country. Each country hosting a race gets to show it live if it had only otherwise subscribed to delayed transmission. It always has been like that, even under Bernie (although there were some arguments with him over some of them).

Oh, you mean now. Depends whether you have fast unlimited broadband. From what I remember BH hasn't. I have a slow mobile phone access with a data limit. Can't get carried away.
Or you have in your own personal collection...
I have, many in a foreign language with subtitles. Requires an effort to watch. Must get around to it. Too many Italian series to watch.
