Football fans weren’t impressed with the “garbage” match between England and Senegal at the FIFA World Cup on Sunday night (December 4).
Despite England scoring two goals prior to half time, TV buffs were quick to flick from ITV1 to BBC One so they could tune into Antiques Roadshow.

While a fifth simply stated: “Antiques Roadshow is more exciting than this rubbish.”
And a sixth said: “Thank f*ck #AntiquesRoadshow is on. #BBCWorldCup.”
Despite a slew of viewers switching over to Antiques Roadshow, it was in fact a repeat that was filmed during the pandemic.
One viewer even picked up on the social distancing and lack of people in the background when they penned: “The BBC really should bin all the episodes of Antiques Roadshow filmed during the pandemic They’re sh*t episodes.”
