Look at it this way. I switched to 5 live commentary.
The issue to me is that there is no chemistry between Legard and Brundle. It's like they're not even in the same room at times. Crofty and Davidson talk to each other, during commentary, discuss things and come up with some genuinely interesting stuff. They talk like good mates, which adds a dimension to the commentary. Allen and Brundle had much better chemistry i'd say.
I suspect that Brundle is sat there thinking "this guy's an idiot", that's what I'm doing when I watch.
That thought had crossed my mind. That's why I like Brundle so much and dislike Legard in equal amounts. Brundle is a fan and commentator, Legard is, well, Legard.
Pushing on, round the bend, on a charge, vettle from hamilton from barry chello. On they go, kicking on, down the straight. He's on a charge. ffs.
Edit: READ THIS FOR A LAUGH. My email to the beeb.
Dear Mr
Thanks for your e-mail regarding Jonathan Legard.
I understand you feel that Jonathan is a poor commentator, who lacks passion for Formula One. I also note that you believe he frequently makes mistakes.
We're aware of the wide range of tastes held by our audience. As all our choices are subjective, it's inevitable that some viewers won't approve of some of our choices of presenters. Jonathan was hired strictly on the basis of his talent, experience and competency to do the job. However, we know it can take audiences some time to get used to a particular individual's presenting style.
I'd like to take a moment to assure you that your comments have been registered on our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that's circulated to many BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, channel controllers and other senior managers. It's also published on our intranet site, so it's available for all staff to view. In addition to this, we regularly compile tailored audience feedback reports for specific programmes so they can have an overview of all contacts received about their series. If a report's compiled relating to this issue, then your comments will also appear here.
Thanks for taking the time to contact us with your concerns.
Regards
Rick Miles
