Plenty to look forward to in 2009 11:41am on 09 Jan 2009 A good selection, I'm rather looking forward to a summer of cricket, F1 and rugby league! Are there any plans to extend coverage of Challenge Cup ties to more than just the two main ones and (very) brief highlights of one or two others, or have I actually missed the brodcast of such action?

Here's to the Super League show finding a nationwide slot that's not stuck somewhere in the wee small hours as it is for us poor Scots residents.

Cheers!
Capturing the spirit of 2008 9:15pm on 14 Dec 2008 I did really enjoy the show this evening as per usual, this was of course helped by such an array of winners this year. However, as numerous comments have referred to above, the concentration on the awards aspect and the almost sidelining of the sport events themselves (how can you not actually show the Olympic men's 100m in full for example?) is particularly disappointing.

Even in such a busy year, the lack of focus on the four major team sports, culminating in a pathetic minute of coverage of rugby league is amazing. Are there any plans for a proper review of 2008 with due focus on each sport? Three hours ought to be enough.
Firefox: Can browsers make bucks? 10:22am on 09 May 2008 Further to the above comments, I have a couple of points:

Firstly, it's very easy to change from Google as a default in FF to any other search engine you fancy (I use ask.co.uk which has an excellent engine I first discovered with Teoma), so to suggest that FF is tied to income from Google appears somewhat disingenuous.

Secondly, having tried Opera a couple of years ago, I agree that it's a very slick browser, but in my experience it suffered from the poor design of many web pages, most of which were optimised for IE but nothing else. Many pages now optimise for FF too, does Opera still suffer however?

Finally, the proliferation of user scripts available for the GreaseMonkey FF add-in are an invaluable addition to my browsing experience, especially for correspondence gaming sites and the like. I won't give up on such features lightly!
