Rather than have half a dozen threads about a single programme and also from a purely self pov because you can't create a new thread in the proboards app I thought that we should have an ongoing thread about upcoming horsey action on the telly.
There is a racing related programme on next Sunday the 19th Feb (except in Wales where we have to put up with Dragons Den instead) called Being AP. Basically it follows the final season of jockey AP McCoy as he tries to ride 300 winners in a single season. It's on at 10 pm on BBC 2 except for Northern Ireland where it starts at 10.30 pm.

That's a very good idea Garej. Thanks for the heads up about the AP McCoy programme too. You can't create a new thread in pooboards App...?!! That's ridiculous. Surely that's a prerequisite of a chat forum app...? Pooboards really are pants.

No you can't Claire. It's been like that since I purchased it as it's never been updated. The pm box is also impossible to load as on another proboards forum I get a few pms so I have to use the mobile phone browser. It's definitely not my connection as I have bt infinity and never have trouble on any other forum apart from proboards.

What did people think of the AP McCoy film? I recorded it but it was so boring I only managed it for 15 minutes and I deleted it to make more space on the hard drive.

I'd forgotten all about the AP McCoy show. I'll have to dig it out, tho perhaps not judging from your view of it Fizz!

The Royal Welsh Show starts next week. For those of you who can get BBC Wales there are highlights on Bbc 1 Wales next Monday at 7 pm. Should be on iplayer for those of you outside Wales.
Edit: I have just noticed that it's on Bbc 4 at 7.30 pm so you should be able to watch it if you live in the UK and have a tv licence.

Thnaks for that Garej. Excellent film, though heart-rending in places.

Bit late now but Olympia has been on bbc red button all week, and again tomorrow from 6pm, then some highlights on Monday on BBC 2 (half eight i believe in morning - seems trifle odd timing!) and red button later on.

Thanks haffy, I'm about to try and find it, I can never work out how to get ON to the red button channel, so wish me luck! Did catch a bit yesterday on BBC, was stunned to see how many of the UK horses had furry 'spur strips' left on their clips - clever way of getting round the 'no spur mark' ban I suppose!
