The Cycle Show - ITV4

Scottmac.. Most people on the forum would like to see hour long interviews with Merckx, and Obree et al. But that's such a small audience. The show has to be inclusive which includes a fair amount of MOR shite purely as it has to in order to appeal to everyone. A show devoted to the hard core just would't have the audience figures and would soon be cancelled. I hope you have voiced your opinions direct to the show via it's Facebook page rather than just ranting here where they won't make a difference at all. I know for a fact that they are listening and are very eager to embrace any and all feedback

What's facebook?

What's MOR shite?

Is that Mathematics of Operations Research?

I suppose you mean hard-core road cyclists rather than Joe Soap public who don't ride a bike?

According to a report by the London School of Economics, the number of cyclists in the UK rose by 11% to 13 million during 2010. In the same year, the market research company Mintel estimated that 34% of adults in the UK owned a bike. How many of them own a television?

Re. The show has to be inclusive which includes a fair amount of MOR shite purely as it has to in order to appeal to everyone. Agreed, but the show looks like it's made by A-level media students.

If they (the producers) are listening, then they will know by many cycling forums I've looked at the response from Joe Public is not very good.

Every cyclist I know wants a good programme that incorporates all aspects on two wheels, but this isn't it. They sent Anna Glowinski, the creative force behind women's cycle clothing brand AnaNichoola (Mmm, more self promotion or a TV show?) to the Alps for a two minute piece of her mostly falling off. FFS!

Anyhow, I like a rant.

Sod off.
