WRC - Dave's TV Coverage

[wookie]

Really not sure about their coverage, nor am I sure about Neil Cole's style of presenting. Average.

[MonkeyHanger]

Why can't they leave the background & interviews for "Access all areas".


Surely the highlights programme should be for....highlights ?

[wookie]

Good point. Couldn't agree with you more. Also could Neil Cole have asked Sebastien Loeb anymore stupid questions??

If he says that one more time..... I'll well... Turn to another channel probably.

[MonkeyHanger]

Apparently this is Access All Areas...i thought they were doing 2 seperate shows.

Dump the presenter and just show the Rally.

Best bit so far - interview with Loeb. "So when you wake up in the morning, do you think oo, I'm brushing the world champions teeth"

Classic muppetry!

I liked it. 300% better than the pish that was ITV 1/2/3/4/whatever it ended up on's coverage.

Not perfect, but not bad at all. At least it's being covered properly for the first time in years.

[cougarracing]

id like to access all his areas and shove a large pole up his backside! seriously i cringed everytime he said it!

[Terry Tibbs]

crap really

no diferent to the last wrc show, would like to see cars racing not someone ponsing about in a mini
tellling me somthing i already know, poor interview technique, virtual spectator so what
out of 10 - 3

[mightymouse]

Looked more like it was bankrolled by Citroen.
Really wish they had showed more of the actual event plus more of the other runners....like where were the Subaru's and Suzuki ?

This sh*te has all the hallmarks of the Channel 4 coverage when it started out with its "new fresh format"
Why not get Robbie Head to do the commentary (and interviews) and find a decent producer/director who actually knows something about WRC rallying.

Toe curlingly cringeworthy. Back to setting the video to record Eurosport from now onwards I'm afraid.

Summing up - Presenter's WRC knowledge woeful, respect for drivers lacking during interviews (asking Loeb the most rediculous questions!), amount of time cars/racing shown on screen less than ITV/C4 ever showed, wont be watching Dave's coverage again. 2/10.

[dougc]

The presenter does appear to be a bit of a tool, but I did laugh at the look of terror on his face in the co-drivers seat when Matthew Wilson was going ten-tenths. I think any one of us would be a bit scared but enjoy it enough to raise a smile.

He appeared to be struggling to stop himself soiling his overalls.

Do you know what really wrong with the WRC coverage, you cannot cram three bloody days worth of rallying, into a One Hour program.

[wookie]

Amen.

[mat205125]

Liked the format. Liked the interviews with Loed etc. Liked the split screen in car footage of the c4 vs focus. Lots of reservations regarding the presenters style. Not Tim Lovescock on fifth gear bad, and better than the pencil neck bloke who did it on ITV4.

Overall happy that the coverage should be good this year. Advice to Dave? Double whatever you are paying that presenter bloke and get Robbie Head on the job. He was the best thing to happen to rally coverage since Tony Mason, and needs to come back to our screens
