Is it just me or is this a terrible programme? Two presenters who don't know what they're talking about, a piece about skateboarding, an interview with Sister Sledge, half the screen obscured by the leaderboard and more jump cuts than a Paul Greengrass movie.

This 100%. I haven't seen Sundays episode, but I watched Saturdays and that was enough for me.

For context, I was there all weekend. The TV 'coverage' is dreadful and really doesn't promote the weekend very well. The St Mary's Touring Car race on Sunday for example was a fantastic race with battles throughout the field (even my other half was entertained for the full race), but this coverage skips so much racing they might as well have just shown a few highlights instead. It was literally impossible to follow anything that was happening. The Goodwood coverage usually covers the racing (and event) rather well, so maybe Silverstone should take a leaf out of their book.

If I'd never been to the event before and was considering going next year, I'd be thinking twice after watching this.
