A reminder since many don't know it exists. A one hour program on cycling called "The Cycle Show" is on ITV 4 tonight at 8 pm, or on ITV 4 + 1 at 9 pm.

It's every Monday at the same times.

The first episode was execrable, but it certainly got better in ep2; I'm just about to watch ep 3 from last week and last night's is on disc. I keep forgetting it's on but luckily the EPG/timer catches it for me.

And I've just discovered that last night's was the first of the one-hour episodes so only got half of it. Luckily, it's repeated on Saturday, at 10.20am.

Yes, I think they're still finding their feet with it Dave. I'm not sure if one hour lomng will work, there was a lot of long drawn out chatting in last night's show, so I had the feeling half an hour would have been enough for the same content.

Well, I finally saw this week's episode, this morning. What an improvement - if they can keep this up until the end of the series, I'll look forward to the next one. I enjoyed various aspects of it, even the two commutes (especially as I used to love towpath riding - apart from the flaming anglers); I learned something about BMX riding and the two guests were quite interesting.
I wonder how the people in the immediate background in the cafe are chosen? Last week there was a couple who were like wax figures, this week a bloke who never seemed to stop eating.
