Several new times of minimum light recorded with photoelectric means have been gathered for two bright eccentric eclipsing binaries TV Cet (P = 9fd1 , e = 0.055) and V451 Oph (P = 2fd2 , e = 0.013). Analysis of all available eclipse timings of TV Ceti has revealed a small motion of the line of apsides of dot ω = 0.000 30 +/- 0.000 08 deg cycle-1, corresponding to an apsidal period of U = 30 000 +/- 8 000 years. The contribution from the general relativity effects is dominant (dot ωrel/dot ω ~ 80 % ). In this system, the third body on an eccentric orbit with a period of 28.5 years is also predicted. The more precise values for the apsidal motion elements were computed for V451 Oph, where apsidal motion with a period of 170 +/- 5 years was confirmed. The corresponding internal structure constants log k2 were derived. Some of the observations reported in this paper were obtained at the South Africa Astronomical Observatory, Sutherland, South Africa.
