I support this petition. As a biker and TT fan it is essential viewing. Want it back NOW please! Not stupid rubbish TV games. In my opinion, it was the only channel worth watching more or less, from all those on freeview.
I support this petition.
ITV Play hardly fits in with the Reithian ideal. Limited bandwidth should not be used to raise money, ultimately for the Government. These channles are esentially just another Lottery to make money for ITV and the government by stealth. In addition ITV Play uses two channels at night often, being on ITV1 too. If ftn, Quiz Call and the shopping channles are taken into consideration this is a lot of limited bandwidth being used up to raise money rather than provide entertainment. How much HD TV could be broadcast on this bandwidth?
I support this petition. Get rid of this demeaning quiz rubbish designed to lobotomize the nation by boredom and give us back the great older shows like Miami Vice, The Professionals, etc, that we love Men and Motors for!
I support this petition. One reason is coz all quiz shows sux wang :D why would we wantt a bender yapping on screen when we can see jo guest on men and motors eh?.Bring it back to freeview!!!@@!!
I support this petition. Its a shame that a commercial channel removes a quality channel in favour of a quiz channel which is neither entertaining or qualifies as broadcasting. If you want to win some money, sell your freeview box and buy some scratchcards. You have a better chance of winning and its honest.
ITV SHAME ON YOU!

After really enjoying Minder/The Sweeney and just into El CID ... "ZAP"!
Typical of the Money Grabbing society that we now inhabit. What ever happend to pure enjoyment with no strings attached?
I support this petition.
M&M is a popular entertainment programme with me. To replace it with a grasping "make money from the punters" channel is a disgrace.
I am incensed that Men and Motors has been replaced by the dross that is ITV Play, which is yet another moronic excuse for ripping people off, and a complete waste of digital bandwidth.
I support this petition. Why air M&M on Sky/NTL (Pay TV) and ditch it on freeview? Just plain greedy money making scam. Everyone should boycott ITV Play and not view or phone their rippoff premium line.
I support this petition.
the only reason i brought freeview as im into motoring, i guess its just another way to make you spend money soon all freeview channels will cost nothing is ever free
I support this petition because I am fed up with reality tv and soaps operas which are on all the time. I enjoyed watching men and motors because they showed proper promgrames like Magnum the Professionals and Minders shows I enjoy watching
I support this petition. For the UK's bikers M&M provided the only bike related programming outside of Sky, so I'm bitterly disappointed to have lost it. I watched a few minutes of ITV Play this morning and it's DIRE!!! Although most ITV Play viewers would need a dictionary to know what that means. There is nothing on these quiz programs that isn't available over the Internet, so leave TV to entertain!!!
I support this petition.
Even though M&M wasn't all great, I would prefer to have it back then watch the visual equivalent of a broken fruit machine. Money goes in, very little comes out... I absolutely hate these money-rake channels that leech cash from gullible idiots.
I support this petition. There are too many of these game show channels about. I for one will not watch play whereas I did watch Men and Motors and enjoyed the channel.
If all the quizzes were moved from the other ITV channels to ITV Quiz there would be plenty of white space for M&M programming if not the whole channel.
BRING IT BACK !
An utter disgrace. A quiz channel will hardly attract viewers (viewers who will also watch the other ITV channels) to the Freeview platform. Anti-viewer, short-sighted, greedy commercialism at its worst.
I support this petition.
M&M had such a good selection of programmes. I have bought 4 DSTB so am now stuck with them , so I hope that there will not be too many changes like this to spoil our viewing pleasure.
I support this petition.Would itv play please replace my recent freeview purchase with sky so i can watch motorcycle related programs, i am disabled and unable to ride as much as i would like, and now you take away one of my few pleasures...shame on you!!
I support this petition.
Please put Men and Motors back on freeeview, it the only decent programmes as it contains repeats and dodgy second hand car dealers, excellent!
