Out of these, which do you think is (or was) the best BBC BTCC commantator, and why?

Greg · 5 Sep 2001, 16:02 (Ref:141897)

By the way!

1. I won't vote.

2. The poll closes in 14 days (from 5/9/02).

Thanks,
Greg.

I enjoyed Muarry's commentary in the early years, but Cox has been very good since then - I'm not a fan of Watson, who seems to think that the Production drivers are incapable of driving!

Murray is better suited to F1, he was abit too excitable for the BTCC. I voted cox because he is funny but also serious. Watty is a good commentator, he's like Martin Brundle, he adds the depth of knowledge and seriuosness to Cox.

Well I voted for Murray becuase I believe his excitable commentary can make even the most boring race seem exciting. Charlie Cox is getting better by the week. I'm afraid John Watson may have been a good driver, but I don't rate him at all as a commentator.

Bring on Ben Edwards!

Thanks Pink, thanks Steve.

Cox is winning at this stage! (6/9/01)

I have to say Charlie cos he knows the drivers and has actually raced int he series so knows what he's talking about - did cut me up on his way out of SIlverstone one year though!

I liked Murray the most. Charlie Cox is great, especially when he was with Murray in 1997. They really complimented each other. I don't like John Watson too much, however I agree that he does add his info being an F-1 driver and can undertstand the politics in racing. One thing that annoys me about John Watson is that he tries to say everything in one sentance, like he's rambling... I quote 1998.
"Itlookslikerydellsonpolewithclelandsecond..."

By the way I had a thread somewhat like this called, "Approve of Murray Walker's commentary?"

I used to like CC, but since becoming a regular at the race meetings Ive really taken a dislike his way of presenting. I just wish he would stop talking to camera as if none of us knew anything about racing! His attempts at humerous whit are appalling. Grid walkabout master is Martin Brundle, I would like to see an entire race presented by Martin and maybe a female presenter.

Greg · 7 Sep 2001, 16:56 (Ref:143204)

Wow!

Why I wonder?

:confused:

Pip · 7 Sep 2001, 17:07 (Ref:143212)

Dread to think... won't mention the tyraid of abuse he got out the window and the two fingered salute!

Greg · 7 Sep 2001, 17:09 (Ref:143215)
