It's back... First match at 5pm... Live on the red button.

Anyone able clip it as happened in 2010.

by **bmstinton93** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 3:22 pm

They aren't doing the commentary today are they?

by **SAV1OUR** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 3:29 pm

Today?!

Yes I forgot about this, it's great that they're doing it again.

by **wireman2004** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 3:59 pm

Doesn't seem to be avaliable on freeview.

by **bmstinton93** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 4:03 pm

That's because they're not doing it today.

by **wireman2004** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 4:06 pm

Seems not. Seems.BBC. seem to put the.wrong graphics up. And announce things they shouldn't.

How can I watch the alternative commentary (or anything on the Red Button) from outside of the UK?

by **bmstinton93** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 4:21 pm

There'll most likely put it on the radio one website when they do it.

Phew, thought I missed it there for a second when you said it was on today but they only mentioned they are in the works of doing it on the show today. I am glad they are doing it again because while I actually don't like watching football, hearing their banter/commentary makes up for it anyway.

Wonder what takeaway they'll order this time.

Very pleased it's back.

Hopefully they pick the obscure games and give an added reason to watch them.

by **stevepro** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 7:24 pm

Have they announced yet which games they'll be commentating on?

Hurrah! Loved these during the WC2010, hopefully someone will be able to capture & upload these again

by **bmstinton93** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 8:31 pm

Anyone still have them in video form from last time?

well if they did it yesterday I missed it!

ps they cant have done it yesterday because Dave tweeted he was watching the m atch at home!

Anyone know what the latest is on this? I definitely don't want to miss alternative commentary if they do it.

Please can someone post here when they know, thanks

From Chris' Twitter today, and as he said on the show this week;

Chris Moyles ‏@CHRISDJMOYLES

Yes me and @davidvitty are in talks to bring back Alternative Commentary for Euro 2012 on the BBC Red Button. Hopefully details soon.

I capped the PIP versions and someone else capped the Freeview (not PIP) versions. Very funny stuff. I think I had problems with one of the matches, but the other was complete.

Look, it's Fat Chris!

The problem we have now is sharing a few GB of video. If someone has a private FTP, I'd be happy to share it again. I don't have enough upload speed to torrent it for weeks.

Who was it who sent me the entire marathon show recently? They had lots of space.

by **bmstinton93** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:39 am

So they are doing it Friday night for the England match. *, I'm in Bristol and can't watch. Can someone try upload it?

by **ianpwilliams** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:42 am

Really? That's annoying, I thought it would be an obscure match. I'll probably just watch it again later with their alternative commentary, if someone uploads it.

by **dimtimjim** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:42 am

Cool, should make this England match watchable.

by **ianpwilliams** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:48 am

I wonder if it'll be on Freeview 301. I've got Virgin Media, but I'd rather not have the annoying Menu icon in the corner.

by **tizer** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:50 am

i cant wait, highlight of my world cup, and after a ok start this will just make England's campaign even more watchable

It should be. The Red Button service is now limited to one channel on all platforms. And just checking the listings for 301 now, it is showing England v Sweden "with extra commentary options". I'll be recording this.

by **bmstinton93** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 8:56 am

Will you then be able to upload it for us lovely people here?
