Sorry to spoil the mood....
I’m sure he’s a lovely bloke. But F1 commentator I couldn’t stand him, constant errors or utter nonsense. Some found it made him endearing, but I personally found it incredibly irritating.
I understand his place in British F1 viewing history though.

Best thing to come out of Birmingham since the canals!
And I say that as a Brummie who grew up just down the road from where he was born on Reddings Lane, about 5 minute walk away from where Nigel Mansell grew up too.
Other than siblings and family relations, I don't think you'll ever find two historical figures of F1 that grew up in such close proximity to each other.

I worked with him in the seventies while I was at the BBC and I concur
He literally commentated on everything he saw. He even took time to mention the mechanics some by name and even place of birth! Nowadays they just drift off...........
He always gets over to Thruxton to see bikes or cars, here is talking to Tiff earlier this year as they celebrate 50 years of the re-opening of Thruxton.
