I'm concerned you think Ben Edwards is shouty (i've not heard him yet), because I actually thought David Croft was too shouty - talked too much and talked over Martin too much, maybe just needs to re-adjust to tv commentary.<br /><br />I think during the live races it will be BBC before, Sky during, and BBC after the race - can't beat JH/DC/EJ - great chemistry there unlike on Sky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-88543851530168276902012-03-18T21:41:06.227+00:002012-03-18T21:41:06.227+00:00Haven't had the chance to watch the BBC show y...Haven't had the chance to watch the BBC show yet (essay writing today) but the bits I caught of the Sky coverage of quali yesterday looked almost like a carbon copy of the BBC coverage, right down to Simon Lazenby's choice of wardrobe, the way he used his iPad, and even some of the conversation.To be fair, it's really unusual of Sky to do this as they normally try to do something different, but clearly you can't beat the best.<br /><br />Bear in mind Ben Edwards has come from MotoGP (I think) and probably hasn't had the use of technology as much in that series as he does not. It'll be interesting to see how things compare, though, on the first BBC live race, with BBC commentary options from Ben Edwards on TV, James Allen on 5 Live, and David Croft on Sky (not that I'll see that.)Keith Leggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-5425085235627425662012-03-18T21:40:44.753+00:002012-03-18T21:40:44.753+00:00Haven't had the chance to watch the BBC show y...Haven't had the chance to watch the BBC show yet (essay writing today) but the bits I caught of the Sky coverage of quali yesterday looked almost like a carbon copy of the BBC coverage, right down to Simon Lazenby's choice of wardrobe, the way he used his iPad, and even some of the conversation.To be fair, it's really unusual of Sky to do this as they normally try to do something different, but clearly you can't beat the best.<br /><br />Bear in mind Ben Edwards has come from MotoGP (I think) and probably hasn't had the use of technology as much in that series as he does not.
