Jesus. Yet another reason to regret moving south. And they say its grim up North?

I'm trying to care, but since the SL show is utter gash, I just can't manage.

The Royal Snottington Under Naize Poor Person Hunt Tournament.

Does this mean the nationwide repeat we have been enjoying for the last few years, albeit in the middle of the night, has been binned?

For those who say the SLS is crap - have you actually watched it any time in the past five years? Compared to Boots n All it's a work of heroic genius. And in its own right it tends to be a perfectly acceptable bit of coverage.

For a moment I thought the suggestion was that graham norton was taking over the Superleague Show

Nope. It's still in the middle of the night, but the middle of Monday/Tuesday night.

A new production company has taken it on board. Apparently there is a new format. It's also 45 minutes long and (until May anyway) is at a set time. That makes it different to last season when it really did reach new lows! Hopefully this revamp will give it a boost back up again. It is good that we still have a slot on the BBC, regardless of regionality and the silly time of the repeat.

If enough RL supporters watch it then that will increase the likelihood of it going nationwide straight off in the future. However, RL supporters often seem to be blinkered. Happy to moan about how bad something is but not prepared to help put it right. The exception being the cuts to local radio, which motivated at least 1000 to give their support.

If you have SKY (I know not everybody does) you can choose which BBC region you want to watch!! Its ridiculous though as I am sure there must be some people in the North who would quite like to watch a repeat of the Graham Norton Show instead of RL.

As virtually everybody has some form of digital now why dont the Beeb but it on BBC3/4 instead of all the repeats they have on there and have it on the red button as well.

The RFL should insist that the sport that they are trying to promote as a national sport should be shown nationally.

Only I Player counts for anything unless you have a viewer habbits box for BARB.

David Woods on twitter was twitting the news about it getting a set slot. Sadly he didnt reply to my tweet about it still being a tin pot regional show.

Yes, it's gash; production values on a par with Crossroads and all the appeal and charisma of Gareth Hock.

I'll Sky+ the first one to see if it's improved, but I don't hold out much hope.
