Is that a signature or a comment?

And what the <expletive deleted> is this thread supposed to be about, anyway?

Probably like Alright on the Night, only we pick up on it first. This would require someone with a lot of time and about 500 television screens + Sky boxes.

When BBC News 24 went over to "Head 2 Head" last night, you heard Francine Stock telling the guests which camera was which "that's Camera 3 over there..." and the guests saying "when are we on", and then her saying "I think we're on now..." cue mix to MCU of presenter who then puts on her camera smile and introduces the programme, completely oblivious to the fact that all their mikes had just been open.

Well, it made me chuckle... Embarassed

ITV's recruitment of James Allen to partner Martin Brundle in their commentary box after Murray Walker retired. Everyone knows Ben Edwards is better.....

Most definitely...

Ben and Martin... An absolute dream team second only to Murray and James Very Happy

Ben and Wattie on Eurosport back in the mid-nineties was a good listen as well Wink

That is the best commentary duo I've listened to, and that includes the period of time Murray Walker was active too!

Nobody beats Wattie and Ben in my books! If only I had had more time than one season to appreciate the greatness of their partnership......

I had three years of aural bliss with those two Very Happy

I taped every race they did and lost the lost in a fire four years ago Sad((

For some reason, the Murray and Jonathan tapes survived :-/ Go figure...

I bet Mr Sissons can spell and use grammar and punctuation correctly though!

"im not quite shore"!!!!? I think you'll find that there is no such word as 'im' and that 'shore' means seaside! You meant, "I'm not quite sure"!
