F1 commentator's future in doubt?
For those of us that tune in to F1 via BBC's broadcast:
http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpass_new...es_art_id=42028
I feel a sense of vindication that I am not the only one that is annoyed by Allen & Legard's commentary - my wife has heard me many times saying "...stop talking!!!"... NOT to her, but the TV
It is difficult to replace Walker's authentic and amusing enthusiasm for F1 
I have resorted to d/l the onboard versions of the last 4 races - no commentary; just pure F1 engine
I also d/l the regular broadcast so as to watch the races again for Brundle's insights.

I'm not exposed to this commentator but I read some of the news stories
Hard to believe the Brits would put up with something that sounds even worse than our stupid FOX broadcasts...

Used to be able to switch between Speed and TSN on commercials or particularly bad commentating , but now they have blacked out Speed's coverage so I must mute...

I have enjoyed Ant's commentary in the past... Why does BBC have two teams covering F1 on different channels?...
