snakehips 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I see BBC have given Legard the push, and Martin Brundle will be the main commentator whilst D.C. will be co-commentating. That is all. ps why do I have to mimic Roland Rat every time I say 'fans'?? Faaaaans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thats good news I rekon, Legard irritated me. He shouted all the time and got excited when there was no need to Compared to Martin Brundles dry wit he sounded even sillier! (Brundle=GOD) DC is ok, but I'd have prederred David Croft or Anthony Davidson myself. They both did a good job on the five live/BBC red button commentaries of the practice sessions.

Craig 6701 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Absolute disaster IMO. The brilliance of Brundle's commentary is where he imparts concise, quirky & knowledgable insights when the lead commentator has been talking drivvel. It worked with Walker, Allen and Legard. I just can't see it working with him as the lead commentator. Crofty should have got it IMO with Brundle remaining as no.2 Pretty wide opinion that Brundle is behind this and wanted the lead gig.

Meenzer 15870 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Tend to agree with Craig, I reckon Brundle works better as a no. 2 (though I don't like Coulthard which may have something to do with it). My opinion of James Allen has never recovered from this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well I'm just glad he's gone, he completely spoilt the F1 for me. I also would have David Croft as no 1 with MB as no 2. (God, I lurve MB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(God, I lurve MB) I agree - Legard was completely unlistenable as far as I was concerned. I genuinely think he was the worst comentater I have ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Legard was shit but I agree with Craig. I can't see Brundle working as the lead commentator. I dread to think what DC will be like in the commentary box given his ever so obvious bias towards Red Bull. If I had my way I'd have went for Crofty, Brundle and Ant. I don't think it would've been too crowded and all three are fantastic broadcasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His knowledge is absolutely fucking unbelievable. I hear they've given Jordan a more prominent role as 'lead analyst'. I'll be using the red button to stick the Five Live commentary on then - I wish EJ would just fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair to him while he does talk a large amount of shite about himself he does have a knack of finding out stuff. Remember when he suggested Schumacher was coming back after the last race of 2009? In better news it's going to be broadcast in HD this year Edited January 12, 2011 by Ketsbaia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
