Has 'The Cock' really been dropped from ITV?

[motormania]

I see that ITV have a season preview show this Sunday ahead of next weeks 1st race. It is being presented by Steve Rider and Martin Brundle. Louise and Ted have features but there is not one mention of 'The Cock' anywhere.

Can we really be having our first season in god knows how many years which will not be destroyed by the prick who simply has no idea how dull he makes F1 from his little commentary box.

If this is true, who will be partnering Martin this year?

My vote is for Mark Blundell. Or Jenson Button.... Well lets face it it's hardly worth him flogging that honda around the track is it.

They are only raising our expectations of a cock free season only to dash our hopes when he opens his mouth at 2:15am next Saturday morning.

Oh God, just imagine it...
Hide nor hair of him for the entire build up to the race....Just Martin in the commentary box...and then just as the lights go out:

"GO! GO!! GO!!! LEWIS HAMILTONS 2007 FORMULA ONE SEASON IS GO! GO!! GO!!!"

"That's 2008 James"

"Yes, thank you Martin."

With Jimmy Perry he wrote such amazing comedy gold as Dads Army and Hi-De-Hi but at 85 I think he might a bit old for it

We could have been witness to this :

German U-boat Mosley: I am making notes, Captain, and your name will go on the list; and when we win the war you will be brought to account.
Captain Dennis: You can write what you like, You're not going to win the war!
U-boat Mosley: Oh yes we are.
Captain Dennis: Oh no you're not.
U-boat Mosley: Oh yes we are!
Pvt. Hamilton: [Singing] Whistle while you work, Todt is a twerp, he's half-barmy, and so's Ferrari, whistle while you work!
U-boat Mosley: Your name will also go on the list! What is it?
Captain Dennis: Don't tell him Hamilton!
U-boat Mosley: Hamilton!

ITV-F1 site still shows that he's on the team and radiotimes.com says commentary by brundle and allen.

Wishful thinking...
