Bbc Coverage Of The London Marathon

[johnny.5]

this has got to be the one of the longest running programmes on the bbc am I right ?

You're not wrong!

On a par with the grand national. A six hour programme for a twenty minute or thereabouts race.

No it just feels like it......

Damn! I forgot all about the London Marathon.
Did Pheidippides win again?

[wolf63]

Sqad, did you go to school with Pheidippides?

When the cameras stopped concentrating on the humour in favour of the serious, I stopped watching it. It used to be fun. Now it's boring.

I'm pretty sure "The Sky at Night" beats it :-)

Actually the coverage is pretty good. Personally I like to watch the serious racing and can't be bothered with the kangaroos etc, but the various streams seem to cater for most tastes.
