Indeed, I like Julian a lot. Meeke, Östberg, Marshall were priceless additions imo. It's ok to have a talking head as you say to do the play by play commentary and ask questions on behalf of the audience to the expert. But when you put two of them together it's a disaster.

Becs is not a bad commentator but she's got to be paired with someone like Meeke or Porter. I thought she worked well with Meeke actually. PK is a good presenter/voiceover but is lost in a live commentary situation. JD i think is forcing a certain style too much and lacks actual substance, it's like he's trying to hype up for TV but it comes off as fake, at least for me.

And yeah the stage end reporters need to think a bit, sometimes they don't even ask a question...
