Leggie + EJ - what a night out that would be

[Amanda]

I was so deeply offended by this outfit that I felt a screen dump was in order

[EwanM]

I personally think he looks very dashing in that pink shirt and green trousers.

I think that DC and Jake should have pushed EJ into the harbour during the F1 forum. That would have been fun.

And now after a short break, here's Brundle Quotes:

European Edition

Jonathan Legend-Legard: “Some would say you could have Eric Clapton in [the Ferrari] and he’d go quicker than Luca Badoer.”
Martin: “I think I’ll apply for Spa. At least I could commentate behind the wheel and add value to it.”


“I find it really bizarre – when did Formula 1 teams become benevolent? ‘Oh, he’s been a really loyal servant, let’s give him a Grand Prix.’ I mean, give him an Enzo for a month, but put somebody a little bit quick in [the race car]!”

(Red Bull radio Webber to tell him of Brawn’s recent transmission to Button)
“They obviously watch BBC back at home!”

“It should be mandatory to do doughnuts and go and hug your mechanics, not a penalty.”

And probably the best quote of the entire weekend:

(Waiting to talk to Vettel)
“Are we in a queue? How big’s the queue? Do we need to take a ticket like at the cheese counter?”

[vaptin]

watching Eddie trying to grab Michael, never seen him move so fast, then he stood behind the red divider like a good boy, before working enough courage to dive in a grab him, then he didn't let go.

Haha, yeah i think he took inspiration from a puddle of vomit when getting dressed that day...

they need to stop him doing that.

[Juliet P]

At least he hasn't teamed it with the red shoes he was wearing in Shanghai...

[EwanM]

Seems like Auntie Beeb are hard up. From what i've just heard they are tendering for private companies to run the GP coverage from next year onwards.

So much for in-house eh beeb?

I bet North One get it.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Left Pic: "No Martin It was you who said a KERS car would never win a Grand Prix this season!"
Right Pic:"I now love KERS THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS much!"

[Frosty]

I thought Brundle was at his best on Sunday

[volatilis]

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

There you go! All you Legard dissenters, write the beeb a letter - constant dripping wears away the stone.

Um. EJ?
