RedM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ladies and gentlemen, James Allen has left the building. The BBC has announced its F1 commentary line-up for 2009, and Mr Allen is not on the teamsheet. Want the full line-up? In the midfield holding role, we’ve got Jonathan Legard (of Five Live radio-type fame) and Martin Brundle (of ITV and pikey-bashing fame) on commentary duties. At the back (nope, going to stop with the football-position analogy now before it snaps and has someone’s eye out), the studio-anchoring-people will be Jake Humphrey – you’ll have seen him on the BBC during Euro 2008 and the Olympics – and, as we’ve been predicting for about the last 17 years, David ‘DC’ Coulthard. A bit of a shock has arrived in the form of ex-Jordan team boss Eddie Jordan who’ll be a pundit with DC alongside Humphrey. On pitlane duties will be Ted Kravitz – poached in an audacious end-of-the-transfer-window manoeuvre from ITV – and some bloke called Lee McKenzie, who appears to actually be a woman. And commentry legend Murray Walker will be a regular appearance on the BBC’s F1 site too. Go go go! Sounds good to us. That's nice then.

ivan Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I can't see the UK GP lasting too long after '10 either if they insist on making Donnington a park'n'ride Grand Prix. http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,18954,3213_4564826,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Not this year, there is supposed to be a load of red-button stuff though. But what was the point of the all the sony HD ads last year, and even having an HD channel. Now I know BBC aren't to blame for this, but surely with all the money in F1, they could have upgraded their broadcast system. We are in 2009 for pete's sake not 1990. I've seen internet rumours that it will 2012 or something stupid for HD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
