Where has Shetland gone tonight?

I'm not getting bored with him.

I'm getting bored with it now.

Why can't they find somewhere else to show sodding sport instead of disrupting normal programmes?

I agree with Luckygirl- I seem to know what is going on now but having to wait two weeks for the finale will be too much and I will have lost the plot.

I fell asleep again, so I'll have to watch it on catch-up. I'll never hold the plot in my head for a fortnight !

Is that so? - what a pain! I will have lost the plot by then - I am having enough trouble as it is!

So once again going to have to wait two weeks before the final instalment of Shetland to make way for the rugby

Thursdays' Dickensian was cancelled too.

Nothing personal Alima!! Just general frustration that one of the other beeb channels cannot be used, i.e. BB3!! then everyone , well Shetland fans and sports fans would be happy!!!

Alima (Where has shetland gone?/Gertrude!)

Thanks for cheering us up btw.

I think another 4 episodes

Thought this thread was about Gertrude at first. Didn't twig, not only because I don't watch Shetland but also I have been looking forward to this particular match for days. Never get to see my club on terrestrial telly so this was a real treat for me, even though we lost. Please do not hold it against me fellow Gransnetters!
PS How long has Shetland got to run as the Six Nations starts soon.

tinaf1 so it was a 'she' was it? Yep, whispered in her soft voice!

Winterwatch was fantastic tonight. The fox and the eagles - amazing stuff. Roll on Easter for Springwatch.

We watched Winterwatch live instead.

We were going to record it and watch it tomorrow until we realised the flippin' football was on; DH did watch the first half or whatever then we switched over.
Quite good fun watching Michaela, Chris and Martin getting blown around!

With my memory I will not have a clue as to what has been shown previously. I also get fed up with football always being given first place- are they paid money by the sponsors to show it?

They have to pay for it, it's live and they want to up their viewer ratings, that's why they won't put it on one of the other BBC channels.

Am I the only gransnetter who likes football? (I like Shetland too!)

Wilma perhaps because she said it in her " I am going to say this really quickly and quietly so no one phones in and complains voice"

tinaf1 shows how much attention I pay!

Would make a change tinf1!! Think of it, football having to give way to regular TV!! sacrilege I guess!! We both hate football, and resent giving way ALL the time!

Bloody ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ from me too ?

Given Gertrude's 100mph winds perhaps its been blown off to Norway.

Bloody football.

It was Gertrude!!

They did say end of last weeks program that it would be back in two weeks time WimerK wonder what would happen if programme makers announced "we are cancelling tonight's match due to viewers fed up with football"
