BBC Television Coverage

I think overall the BBC coverage has been excellent, particularly 6music.

Ended up catching the Muse set from Hysteria onwards and i so wanted to be there, seen them twice before, the crowd looks electric and i want to do Glasto! Very nice touch getting The Edge on - not sure how many people guessed that happening! But from those last three songs were crazy!

What the f**k?!?!? I fell asleep after Hysteria I was shattered from work. What did Muse play with The Edge?

[amy246]

Where the Streets Have No Name! It was epic, the crowd were loving it!

Anyone else thinking Faithless are sounding a bit off? Firstly the sound aint really coming through the TV very well, so I hope things are alright in the field. It all seems a bit flat

Eavis singing was the best part of the whole coverage, anyone dare say otherwise is a idiot.

And they have cameras at the Jazz World stage yet have showed naff all?!

Pet Shop Boys looked f**king well good. Was really looking forward to seeing them but alas had to be content with watching them on telly. Good stuff.

I seemed to miss Orbital though? Was their set shown? I saw one tune, Dr Who, but that was it???

Having come back from the festival today, I am watching BBC3s coverage of the highlights and fully enjoying it. At least they are just showing music, rather than the annoying presenters.

The thing to remember is the BBC are catering for people that aren't at the festival, and most of the viewers have never been. So they would have a hard job trying to capture all the magical moments, as the TV viewer would not get them. it makes sense for them to cover the mainstream bands as that is what people will want to see.

Also, people slagging the BBC off for showing Florence and Dizzee all the time, like it or not, those two acts had some of the biggest crowds of the festival, so it just shows they are massively popular. Surely the BBC needs to show popular acts on its main shows. If you don't like it, flick on the red button or put BBC4 on and watch something more obscure.

Give us a chance to watch it. I've just got back.
