Jake Humphrey to Christian Horner: You do realise we're keeping the Antiques Roadshow off BBC1 and there's no racing happening?

This is Sunday evening prime time viewing in the UK. ;) That's F1, Canadian Grand Prix, for anyone who wasn't sure.

So it was vaguely in my mind that the clocks must change sometime soon, being the end of March and all and I kept meaning to check, as you do.
