So excited-cant wait-I wish the hour hadn't gone forward last week and I would now know everything GC knows abot the GN-well maybe I already do i.e. sweet FA-hasnt he got a lovely face for radio? Hope Tanya's in her top tipping form. I am a keen follower of hers and the Insolvency Service says I will be debt free is a couple of months. Hope Richie's got back from his stint with the Village People-do you think adding a fat man as a jockey to their line up worked? Hope they do some of the things you associate channel 4 with at Aintree like-sorry I seem to have developed a Tanya moment.
This is one occasion when non-racing fans will tune in for Grand National tips BUT what the ML team needs to remember is viewers want to know who will win, not how brave the jockeys are, or how little they had for breakfast.

Just heard that it was put back an hour this morning-some of liverpools finest ladies regurgitated their Asti Spumanti round the studio-and Tanya's been in cleaning it up-apparently she has a talent for that.

striding .. not watched it for ages either and just seen first bit and it is dross and looks as though getting even worse if that is possible. Time to switch over.

Tipperary Tim won the Grand Nat in 1928 as there were 41 fallers + a remount to finish 2nd (only 2 finishers)
The horse was said to have at one time pulled a milk cart

What a total embarrassment this is to the sport - Grand National day and they're doing ham fisted and totally forced jockey v rugby sections and focussing on the local milkman.
Still, the bookmaker PR frauds all got their airtime, so job done...

I would like to know who decides the programme content.
I suspect it's someone who's just come out of university with a media degree and not two clues to click.
It reached new levels of drivel today.
The one programme each week devoted to racing and what do we get? About ten minutes of useful content padded out with ads,bookies going on
about how brave they are in opposing the favourite,milkmen,beauty parlours,Sam Thomas and other ex jockeys talking about the past,replays of
yesterday's finishes,jockeys vs rugby players in a pointless exercise,Paul Nicholls reminiscing about winning the race,interview with the
Clerk Of The Course,telling us what is 'coming up', finding out if Mick Fitz slept well last night etc etc.
I don't have a problem with the presenters.They have no choice but to work within the programme frame work.
Basically,a waste of time.

Entering the Epsom comp. I'm going for Bechers Lake. I know it's really Bechers Brook, but everybody will be going for that, so I'm taking the outsider of three.

Theres a kiddie down the pub thats become interested in racing..............asks me loads of questions........The point being ............he wont learn nothing watching that crap

Probably think hey biggest day of the year but we've lost the regular once loyal racing audience so we'll try to attract a NEW following of donks and thickos who like watching milk floats and listening to drivel. That should stop the rot and at least add a few new viewers. The show is going like the footie did when ITV messed up and will be no coming back sadly because product is tainted now by association. I simply cannot imagine what Dubai and Ralphie et al make of the sharp decline in figures and sure they won't pay what they are doing when review and oops there goes the business model.You think it cannot get worse but it does. Programme has got no heartbeat and unfortunately no soul and nobody seems interested.
