I found this while on the ITV4 web site. Enjoy!

That's class, some of the stories in Ned Boulting's book are equally as funny

Great story. Both Imlach and Boulting earn their corn for ITV 4.

I know it's been discussed many times, but i've always thought that a regular cycling magazine show on ITV4 would be good. They already own the rights to the ASO races and Ned and Matt could probably be tempted into the studio once a week for a couple of bottles of Leffe.

It could be Top Gear for bikes, just with a smaller budget and thankfully, no Clarkson.

If they can afford the budget for BTCC all day Sunday AND a highlights package, a magazine show is a definite possibility.

This is such a good idea. A few years ago it wouldn't have worked but now I think the popularity of cycling has passed the threshold required and there is a real thirst for that kind of thing. The beauty of it all is that it is a well rehearsed concept with two proven and knowledgeable presenters.
