JAMES ALLEN TO REPLACE MURRAY WALKER.

ITV's pitlane reporter James Allen is to take over from Murray Walker, it has just been revealed by ITV-F1.

Controller of Sport Brian Barwick added, 'James is a very talented young broadcaster who knows the F1 scene inside out. Over the past two years he has commentated on grands prixs for us and we have received a warm response from the public and the industry to his performance behind the microphone.

'Taking over from Murray is obviously a huge task but we believe James is the right man to be in the driving seat.'

The great man himself, Murray Walker, was also quick to congratulate James, 'He has been a trusted colleague for the last four years and I am delighted for him. I am sure he will be gigantically successful.'

Yes it is the right choice, James Allen has done a really good job covering for Murray, he knows a lot about the sport.

Right, I'm heading off to the itv-f1.com messageboard to wind a lot of people up.
