BBC Coverage

Just a mention for Gascoyne, who i thought did a great job and its good to see him around the paddock again. I think it would be quite useful to have someone like him who is knowledgeable about F1 and the setup behind it and so on, partenring DC and Jake. I personally like Eddie, but it would be good to maybe have a Ron Dennis or a Jean Todt (not necessarily them two but someone with similar expertise) as someone who will have a good insight that can be provided for the fans back home.

Give me Mike any day over EJ, the commentary was significantly better and more on the money.

I hope the BBC realise how better there show is with Mike.

Oh god Eddie's back and being annoying. Give us Mike Gascoigne!!

I was listening to Anthony Davidson on the BBC's channel 301 yesterday and I thought we was really good.

Shame he's not driving, but I liked his style of commentary, which I thought was quite similar to that of Martin Brundle.

I missed the verbal punch-up between Eddie Jordan and DC after Q1... was it good? :D

Just friggin' hilarious man! :D

I know that most of you are fed up with this behaviour and style from EJ, but I thoroughly enjoy EJ making an arse of himself. He actually apologised to DC for trying to defend Sutil's move on Webber in Q1 :rotflmao:

I worry a bit about Jonathan Legard. As I have said before on here, I think he's a really professional sports broadcaster, but the BBC could have saved itself this very awkward period in which Legard is trying — often unsuccessfully — to stop himself being an unnecessarily verbose radio commentator on TV by just hiring Ben Edwards.

I think that Legard is slowly improving session by session, but for today I'll be trying the Five Live coverage - worth it for Ant alone - and recording the BBC One audio for later.

Incidentally, I've currently got the Sports Multiscreen up in addition to a 2nd TV for onboards and am enjoying two screens of the London Marathon, a replay of Qualifying and classic snooker frames - as well as typing this. I may need more eyes... :dozey:
