Does anyone know when the BBC will be showing it on TV? I will be a heavy fat pregnant whale by then and sadly wont be able to go this year. Went on BBC and Badminton Web site but no info, other half said he saw an advert on tv but cant remember when it said.
 
It will most certainly be on the red button on BBC1 or 2 - it has been for the last few years and they usually show the whole day. I know however that it should get more terrestrial coverage this year as that was part of the deal when the date was moved.

I'm watching the XC at home this year again (although 2 x days of dressage lined up) - in my opinion you do get to see more although they are slightly biased towards the top riders. But my old strategy of walking the course backwards etc doesn't seem to work anymore as everyone else has the same idea!

Happy viewing :)
 
Yeah - they usually do the red button live on the Saturday and then the BBC will do a highlights of the cross country on terrestrial on the Sunday. Looking forward to it as always! :)
 
I'll be watching from my sofa this year to. After last years rain and having 2 horses to spend on this year I'm afraid I can't afford to waste all the money it costs me to go. I'll miss it but it will be nice to see everything from a comfortable sofa and not from under a hood with wet feet!!;)
