If this EPG listing is anything to go by, we’ve been watching the Tour de France on the wrong channel.

One of the joys of every summer is settling in for a few hours of Tour de France watching each day in July.

On their listings for last night, as tweeted by @Lennym, the show had a warning that almost certainly boosted the viewing figures.   We can imagine the language but we’re not quite sure what sort of ‘scenes of a sexual nature’ might occur during a bike race. We’ll be tuning in tonight to find out though...
