Now he's back in Australia commentating on the semi-final. Nice to see the BBC looking after the environment. | | | | |

Er, they do broadcast rather more programmes than those two. Plus radio, online, streaming etc. Oh and you don't have to pay the Licence Fee either, thereby saving you a princely £3 per week. HTH | | | |

As an aside in football italia days the commentators did it all from UK. Not sure how long Richardson was out in Italy doing the show and the Saturday thing as well. | | | |

Might not have been the same beer, but I always remember listening on the car radio to JP opening his commentary to an England game in San Marino with the line: "And Talksport welcomes you to this World Cup Qualifier between San Marino and England, brought to you by Tenant's Pilsner, brewed with Czechoslavkian yeast for that real Pilsner taste and San Marino have just scored..." https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/articles/davide-gualtieri-the-sammarinese-who-s Fair play, he got all that out without even having to draw breath, while I nearly drove onto the pavement with laughing.

While latterly, Murray Walker did a lot of his F1 commentaries from a BBC studio. Didn't explain all his gaffes, mind. | | | |
