David Attenborough show kicked sideways to iPlayer

What times we live in

I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool.

I see Match of the Day had an extra 500k viewers yesterday with no presenters or commentators which I found mildly amusing.

For me the big issue with this controversy is the hypocrisy.
Braverman demonises migrants and talks of "invasion", yet a high profile sports presenter compares the language used with that of 1930s Germany and is pilloried.
Meanwhile the Chairman of the BBC, who is a donor to the Tories, gets his position after facilitating a loan for the PM at the time. Is that above criticism?

2 days after Lineker's tweet, Fiona "one punch" Bruce" excuses the domestic violence carried out by (Sir) Stanley Johnson. FB's husband is also a Tory donor.

To quote 2 comments
BBC have lost the dressing room and scored an own goal.

Is that because you shout endless crap at others without the balls to at least offer some form of counter argument ?

I suspect that was because lots of people wanted to see it for the novelty factor.

I'd be very willing to bet if it carried on like that every week people would get bored and switch off.

I got bored with it years ago and even though we are now on it I still feel the same.

Watched the show this morning and got to say I enjoyed it with out the smugness of crisp boy and the droning of the brothers grim ( Murphy & shearer ) all you need to do is get the commentators back and you got a decent show

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Got to say MOTD without the commentators and pundits was a breath of fresh air. Like a football match without time wasting. I could properly focus on the action with just the crowd noise to enhance it and no screaming hyperbole. This is how I'd like to view football highlights from now on, but sadly they're all due to return to their extremely overpaid jobs.

Check out who her husband is and all will be become very clear. Her and Laura Kuenssberg continually lie to protect the government and, considering the board, permit criticism of other political views. The latest trend is for RW Twitterati to demand the defunding of the BBC; hypothesising, now they have the people in place at the top, the next step is to outrightl fund the corporation and use its once legitimate reputation to churn out the same lies the rest of the RW controlled media currently does and still claim to be the same impartial BBC we have all known and loved.
Pulling Attenborough's show for fear of upsetting the RW was also a jaw dropping moment.

Tell me you haven't watched any news on the BBC for over 20 years without telling me you haven't watched any news on the BBC for over 20 years.

MOTD was good without the so called experts telling all about why a goal was scored or why a certain player should have done this or done that. However I did miss the replays of controversial incidents like red or yellow cards, VAR mistakes etc.

You said “only a British owned one”. Not entirely an accurate statement. SVB is a US bank and impact will be felt more in US than here.

I assume that we're waiting for the banks to open in the US?

Share prices unsurprisingly are way down, but only to what they were two/three months ago, but I'm still awaiting news of these runs on the banks!
