Made my complaint
Fair enough, if they have an obligation to show religious programming on Easter Sunday, but what happened, did some TV executive turn up for work this morning, and have an "oh bugger" moment when they realised they'd forgotten to schedule some in?

Shouldn't the religious types be in church on Easter Sunday morning, not sat at home watching other people in church ? And given that religion, well, Christianity is about as popular as scurvy these days, shouldn't it have been relegated to BBC2 anyway ?

So strong minded. You can always watch the replay anyway!

Let's face it, all it needed was a strong decision by the BBC. Either push religion onto BBC2, or F1, but to swap part way through is just plain daft. An on-screen message could have been periodically shown to inform anyone who doesn't have access to a schedule, although there are so many ways of finding out what's on now there really is no excuse

This really upset me. I was sitting there happily watching the F1 when they informed me of the bad news: I'd have to press a button on the controller to manually change the channel, halfway through the race. I didn't know what to do at first, but thankfully I pulled myself together to overcome my emotions in time for the switch-over.
Ideally the BBC would have sent someone round to press the button for me. That way there would have been no hastle whatsoever.

There really are some hard of thinking people on here. I'm surprised you can even use a computer, let alone the internet.
If I was watching the race live, I could have switched over easily. I wasn't watching it live, but on delay TV - effectively the same as a recording. Changing channels was not an option for those not watching it live.

I'm not a fan of football, but could see people getting annoyed about that. They should have just started the F1 on BBC2, as you said earlier.

Wow, the faster cars start at the back so they overtake all the slower cars, great! How many times did the lead change? It was hardly Rossi v's Stoner at Laguna Seca was it!

Typical BBC
Never watch live TV these days, it's all recorded then watched when I'm ready to sit down and watch it. To split up a big televised program like F1 is a joke. Luckily I found out about it in time to record the repeated program this afternoon.
Why not leave it on one channel for the entire race (bbc1 or 2)
Is that too much hard work for the kn0bs at the BBC.
And I wish that Joanthon Legard (or whatever his name is) would pish off and let someone with half a brain do the commentating.
