I do like him, admittedly he is OTT at times but he/BBC producer clearly has an agenda which is to have arguments for the sake of it just to keep things interesting.

If you want a character Gascoyne is a lot better becausce he's not OTT and he's a hell of alot more knowledgble than Jordan.

yeah but jordan has got an irish accent (mainly because hes irish) that makes things more interesting for some wierd reason.

Looked more like DC was going to punch him :p I was impressed with Gascoyne but the three of them (with or without EJ) haven't won me over completely.

And I hope they actually present from out the back of the pits tomorrow, I couldn't hear a bloody thing over the PA! Presenting from the pit lane is a great idea but it's just too much noise with the music blaring out too.

I suspect Gazza's Pitbull moniker is evident behind closed doors working on getting the best out of the cars and regulations. Best asset is explaining the technical side without appearing to be condescending to the media and general public.

EJ speaks his mind. Knows about running drivers and teams at a macro level and the politics that go with it.

I'm not being biased just because Eddie is Irish, but I like his character too. There's something that shines between the DC and EJ relationship already. Its a bit like Father Ted and Dougal Maguire or Del Boy and Rodney. Not that they carry on like those people, but that one can't do without the other (a moment of "Can't live with it, can't live without it.")

I haven't watched any of the coverage so far this weekend so I will be interested to see Gascoyne's approach. But I hope EJ isn't sacked from the crew.

I was impressed with Mike Gascoyne as well. A good choice.

I thought MG was kneeling down when him, Humphreys and DC first came on the tv!

As near to perfect in China as it's possible to get. Legard still sounded a little unsure of himself at times, but everything else was brilliant.

Brundle took DC with him on the pit walk which was a masterstroke, giving him somewhere to go when he couldn't find drivers and also lending a useful second line of questioning.

The red button post-race show is such a simple but effective idea. Don't care about the race? Fine, watch Andrew Marr's ears. Want to see everything? 90% of the UK has digital and can press red for an extra hour.

I don't know what Eddie Jordan's "other committments" were, but please let them continue. Mike Gascoyne was such a great addition to the team.

The weak link is definately Lee McKenzie. Where were the interviews with retirees today? What did she contribute?

9.5 out of 10 and getting better every race. :up:
