Live 8 2005

Poor Freeview! (I bought one of those cheapo Pacific ones from Asda Walsall last week, to give me digital facillites in the bedroom!)

BBC 1 thinks it's showing Live 8, while BBC2 thinks it's showing Wimbledon, but now 1's changed to Wimbledon until 1730, then the News from 1730, while 2 says it's Wimbledon, but it's Live 8 !

Oh, BBC are showing highlights from around the world and Green Day are on at the moment. They're performing American Idiot - unedited. I bet the BBC are going to get a few complaints about that!

Yes, a f*ck at 6.

was that a swear word from Green Day just then?!!!

The lead singer just used the F word . . . that's bound to get one or two irate calls to the BBC Duty Office!

Is that Mark Byford, BBC Deputy Director General I spy behind Davina there?

He said it twice. Also, 'fagg*t' was said aswell, which is usually bleeped out on the radio.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but interactive on Freeview is fixed now. Got BBC Two live instead of BBC One.

Whoever said BBC1 didn't use their idents stereotypically!

Coverage now on BBC1, although its still hanging on on BBC2 at the moment

Not sure about the BBC TV presenters - Jonathan Ross is usually much better than this - and why Fearne Cotton?

Radio 2 have Chris Evans, Davina McCall and Dermot O'Leary and they're doing a fantastic job!


The old BBC1 "in-programme pointer" has just appeared on BBC2 telling us to switch over!

They could have at least done it before the song started - do they have to do it mid way through a song?

Oh great BBC-2.. just fade it half-way through the UB-40 set and DON'T TELL ANYONE IT CONTINUES ON BBC-1!!!!
Diabolical lack of presentation!
