It's the London Marathon today, and I would very much like to watch it on the telly/internet/listen to commentary/get updates by carrier pigeon. As I'm outside the UK, I can't watch it on the telly (iplayer also won't work), but the BBC website has been saying for weeks that it will have video streaming of all three races. So about 15 minute before the start of the women's race, I settled down in front of my laptop for an afternoon of good running, only for the videos never to appear. It appears they failed to mention that the videos are for the UK only, which I thought would be a fairly important point to mention on a website people read all over the world. So, I'm left with their text updates, which are disappointing to say the least. The carrier pigeon option would be more informative I feel! Over the first 90 minutes of the women's race there have been TWO updates about the race. No mention of the Brits in the race, or anything except the leader is going pretty quick. And nothing about the men's either. Thanks guys.
