C4 Channel 4 Racing: Barclay's Bank Handicap Hurdle

A big, evil bank forcing the handicapped to run hurdles? How cruel! ;D

 

[chrish]

With that TV schedule I suspect I would have had a large stock of reading material on hand.

 

[classictvfan]

All 4 ITV Channels? Shouldn't that be 5?

 

[TVWorldwide]

With that TV schedule I suspect I would have had a large stock of reading material on hand.

Well, a lot of the programming seems refreshingly intelligent. (In 1992, what major U.S. network would have aired a profile of a Czech filmmaker in prime time? Probably not even PBS, but BBC1 did.)
