Only if you've got a Tony to pick out the interesting programmes for you! We have goodness knows how many channels via Freeview and at least 95% of it is rubbish!

Britain’s Greatest Pilot – The Extraordinary Story of Captain Eric “Winkle” Brown.Wed 16 September 2020 BBC4 9pm This programme was shown in Sept 2019 and a ‘couple’ of years before that – quite amazing. Set the betamax to record if you can't watch it live, IMHO its worth it.  If you enjoy the programme, there's a book entitled Wings On My Sleeve which I'd recommend. A certain internet auction site has second hand examples for well under £5 delivered. Wiki link for an insight of Captain Brown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Brown_%28pilot%29

The London to Brighton veteran car run is due to take place on the 1st November ( http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=g2oufuiee0qs395r7c2r098hr4&topic=17371.0), so maybe it's not surprising the following is on TV soon...….. and, yes, Genevieve, the 1904 Darracq, is entered again this year. Genevieve - Some great footage of the Veteran Car Run from 1953 Sat 19th Sept 2020 Talking Pictures 3.45 in the afternoon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Graffiti (1973)Sun 20th Sept 2020, and Wed 23 Sept 2020 Sony Movies Classic 9pm and 11.10pm respectively. If you remember the film 'as if it were only yesterday'. this might be a bit of a surprise...…. American Graffiti - Then and now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0VEtH2kuCs |

I drove past Goodwood a few days ago. All the road signs were out for Speed Week & the paddock was filling with race trailers.
Is that a car or bike event?

From what I've seen on the TV, its a car-only event at the circuit (ie not at the house).
There's a mix of events including some 'normal' races as per the Revival, a Drifting competition which includes a bit of the track by the chicane and some of the normally-pedestrian area, another one-car-at-a-time event (rally cars) which includes blatting it through the entrance tunnel, and a shoot-out competition where one car at a time does a standing start lap against the clock (includes modern winged single seaters).
The tin-top circuit race was pretty good. Galaxies, minis, capris, escorts etc
