No. Formula 1, admittedly. I think that's the only thing I watch in a conventional sort of watching-TV way (albeit on the iPlayer).
Let me anticipate the next question - "but, David, isn't that an odd thing to watch inasmuch as you're an anti-car activist?"
I like action movies too; it doesn't mean I want people to have guns IRL. Obviously F1 is enormously wasteful (but perhaps not so much divided across all the people who watch it) and very much a tool of motor manufacturers; but I don't encourage them to do it by buying any of the products advertised (easy enough, since it's all cars, things for cars, fags (until recently), and banks).
