I really don't like the BBC team although I am in the minority. Jake, the main presenter, is childish and annoying, DC is stiff and annoying, Eddie Jordan is sometimes entertaining, but quite rude and annoying too, Legard the commentator is atrocious and I cannot understand for the life of me why he still has a job, Lee McKenzie's interviewing could be done by anyone and is repetitive, and Brundle looks like he has had the life sucked out of him when you contrast his performance to when he was on ITV. The only one who is consistently on the ball, interesting and excellent at his investigating and presenting is Ted Kravitz. On the forum they fawn over Button and hardly mention Hamilton usually. They occasionally have interesting guests, but it is all so in love with itself, it's irritating.

Most of the BBC team like tired, and bored with the whole thing. Eddie Jordan is repetitive and Brundle is looking war weery. Jake has his eye on the bigger prize (Olympics 2012) and the whole team lack a clinical edge.

There's not much in the show that isn't replicated, and improved on the internet. Times are a changin' ;)

I might be on my own with this view, but I much preferred the BBC set-up from the 1980's i.e It was for F1 fans and nobody else. It would be on Sunday Grandstand with Murray and James having a leisurely chat for 30 minutes or so before the GP. It wasn't trying to impress anyone. If you didn't like F1 then tough, turn over to another channel! When F1 tried to become too commercial and reach out for an audience that did not wish to care, it waters everything down. F1 was elitist and I liked it that way. What next - celebrity driver?

The BBC has received nearly 300 complaints from viewers after it switched live coverage of yesterday's Korean Formula One grand prix from BBC1 to BBC2 after the race was delayed because of rain.

Coverage of the grand prix was due to run on BBC1 from 6am to 9.15am, when The Andrew Marr Show was scheduled to begin.

The politics show was put back by 15 minutes to 9.30am, but the grand prix had still not finished and the live coverage was switched to BBC2 for another hour. Unfortunately for the BBC, that was when many of the most exciting incidents took place. As a result some 273 complained to the BBC.

Some viewers who had set their personal video recorders to record the grand prix claimed that they had been deprived of the climax to the race.

But the BBC pointed out that the race was shown again "as live" on BBC1 at 2pm, with highlights on BBC3 at 7pm, and it was also available to view on the BBC's iPlayer. The delay to its coverage was due to circumstances beyond its control, the BBC said.

The start of the race was delayed by 10 minutes but was then halted after just two laps because of the amount of water on the track. It was restarted after 45 minutes behind the safety car, which did not leave the track until the end of lap 17.

BBC1's coverage of the race between 6am and 9.30am averaged 1.328 million viewers. An hour of extra coverage on BBC2 between 9.30am and 10.30am averaged 1.595 million viewers.

A BBC spokesman said: "Sunday's Korean Grand Prix was delayed due to extreme weather. The subsequent disruption to the schedule was flagged up to the audience throughout via the commentary and was also made clear again just prior to switching the coverage to BBC Two.

"The race was re-run in full on BBC One at 1400 and was available on-demand via BBC iPlayer. There was also an hour-long highlights show transmitted at 1900 on BBC Three. The BBC is committed to showing all 19 Grands Prix live and as our flagship channel BBC One is the natural home for Formula One.

"However, the BBC also has a responsibility to reflect a wide range of interests and therefore the decision was taken to switch the F1 coverage to BBC Two until its conclusion."

Couldn't those 300 people have complained about Legard instead?

Typically disingenuous response from the BBC. Available on iPlayer? The BBC2 transmission of the last hour was not on iPlayer until mid-afternoon.

Mind you, if you want to complain about BBC coverage you should see what they do to MotoGP coverage

So a few hours after the race ended? If people were that desperate they should have watched the live broadcast.

I Webber hadn't just been romantic with the wall i'd have pissed myself laughing when a Nico Rosberg looking Nico Rosberg was walking toward the camera and announced as Lewis Hamilton.
How the HELL did he manage that exactly?

Evidentially these 300 whiners have never tried to record anything off of Eurosport recently...

I got up and watched it whilst in a remote part of the UK. Just as I switched to BBC2 I realised there was no reception. Managed to avoid hours of news / media before arriving back in civilisation to watch the last hour or so.

Of all the fluffs Legard made on Sunday, I must say my favourite was when Brundle mentioned that Di Grassi had set a purple second sector as he caught up with the pack under the safety car. Brundle was making a salient point about how quickly the cars could go if allowed to race proper. But then Legard evidently glanced at the live timing and saw Schumacher's name in purple and immediately barked, "But Schumacher's just set the fastest lap now!" Brundle then calmly explained that this was for the previous lap, under the safety car, and totally moot to the point Brundle was making about the cars driving at racing speed if allowed to as Di Grassi just proved by going 10 seconds faster than anyone in that one sector.

You'd think with all the races Legard has commentated on that he wouldn't get so easily confused by the live timing screen.

Complaints to BBC from yesterday getting some publicity...

How can a country the size of an Australian postal code have remote areas

I tried once - never again

This tickled me just now...

I wanted to see if there was any more info on Foghorn Leghard being booted from the BBC, so I googled "Jonathan Legard".

One of the top stories was carried by Yahoo sports news. Yahoo, as we all know, have an exclamation mark in their company name. So the Google result reads...

BBC F1 to ditch Legard...for Cox? - Yahoo!

Charlie Cox is terrible. There are plenty of good commentators out there, yet we've already ended up with two crap ones in a row. Please don't make it three...

The model for brilliant F1 commentary is Walker and Hunt. Well, in Brundle they've got a Hunt so all they need now is a motorsport journalist who can speak sensibly while the action is happening. Is it really that difficult to find one?! It seems Murrary Walker was really a one in a million because no one has come close to matching him since he retired.

Hmm ... I quite like Cox and Parrish as a team for MotoGP since they often make, sadly, somewhat dull spectacle of MotoGP a bit more interesting.

Parish without Cox is fairly decent, so maybe it's the same for Cox without Parish. One can only hope...

I think one google search says 1000 words

people on the internet

You'd think by now people would know those Google search photos are fakes.
