2008 commentry team?

Strange, i can't seem to find that page on the ITV site...

Maybe it was put up a bit early and has since been taken down?

I can't see them using that language, then again it is ITV. Photoshop wind up is my guess.

[Johnny]

Yeah, I've been out for a bit and kept thinking about the 'fans are excited' comment. Can't see that being part of their announcement somehow!

Nice work though, fooled me...

i watched the last couple of GPs online with the TVUplayer, its an american feed. their commenators are MUCH better than the cock. they managed to make them interesting races.

I missed the 2007 Season Review on ITV this morning, but the schedule for it in the 2007 F1 season review thread seems to imply that The Cock wasn't part of it.

2007 F1 season review on ITV thread said:

MOTORING: F1: Grand Prix
On: ITV1 Central (03)
Date: Sunday 30th December 2007
Time: 11:00 to 12:00 (1 hour long)

2007 Season Review.
Steve Rider and Martin Brundle look back at the defining moments of one of the most exciting Formula One seasons in recent times - a year that will be remembered almost as much for the drama off the track as the action on it. Louise Goodman looks at how Kimi Raikkonen beat the odds to clinch the world title at the final round, and Lewis Hamilton talks exclusively about his incredible debut F1 season.

Can anyone confirm if The Cock was on it? He's been involved in all the previous season reviews, so if he wasn't on it maybe it indicates that he's not part of ITV's line-up for 2008?

James doesn't usually do the season reviews/previews, so don't think you can read anything in to his absents.

More significantly though, he wrote a season review for the web site only a week or so ago and would hardly be likely to do that if he was leaving.

Think he is here to stay for 2008 and, I for one, am quite happy with that, although I know I am in the minority.

Allen is a Berk. Brundle ans Edwards would be good, but the best commentators by far are the 2 guys who do MotoGP. Mind you, they do have something interesting to talk about.

[hornet]

I can just about cope with Allen these days, but I could really do without the desperate attempts to glam things up by dragging in z-list models or rappers purely there on a corporate jolly. That and the cringeworthy matey "Steve and Mark" show at the end. What does Blundell actually bring to the show other than eating all the pies and agreeing with everything Steve Rider says?

Their weird over enounciation of "ing" gets on my nerves, but they must be good to make you think Motogp is interesting.
