exactly.

It must have been a nightmare for Lee McKenzie today.

The first F1 coverage she has hosted live and there is no action and they have to fill a couple of hours.

I think she did a good job.

In at the deep end (literally) and she survived.

She did alright, didn't she? Must have been a nightmare.

In case anybody didn't see it on the other thread:

I thought she did a great job. It's a shame she doesn't get more airtime usually.

Sound problems mean we get the Ant/Crofty radio commentary for just long enough to underline how poor Legard is... at least we got to hear Crofty describing Kobayashi shouting "Leroy Jenkins" as he passed Heidfeld :laugh:

When the BBC One comms went down then and we got 5live, that just showed how poor Legard is in comparison to David Croft. Really amusing.

Yer as stupid as I may have been, I have always stuck to BBC 1 commentary during the races but that small section of 5live has given me a realisation of how poor Legard is. I always thought he was poor per say, but hearing the upbeat commentary from Ant & Crofty over the Kobi pass was different class.

From now on I will change to 5live Comm, for the race.

There again, when you listen to Charlie Cocks and Steve Parish 'guessing' and generally being dickheads whilst a MotoGP race is going on, you can quite easily put up with Legard.
I say Crofty to F1 and Toby Moody/ Julian Ryder to BBC Moto GP commentary.

I watch all the races with 5live commentary anyway so didnt make any difference to me.

And kudos to Lee McKenzie, I thought she did a grand job, it did look weird at first but after it all you'd be thinking "Jake who?"
