Stopped watching C4 a long time ago - mainly because of the complete ineptitude of Graham and Tanya.

Televised racing is such a close knit community that if somebody leaves one job, there's always another job waiting with another channel.

The racing post must be in dire need of cash as even some simple news items are members only now, this coinciding with trainer and jockey stats which recently became inaccessible to non paid up members. two nondescript members of the Channel 4 team are ousted but cunningly they made it a members only news item to make people think it was a big news story and a couple of high profile members of the team had been sacked, I suppose if they catch a few fish in the net everytime its a success?. This post pretty much hits the nail on the head imo. |

Yep, pathetic. They class it as 'Racing Business' which is members only. Then market it as though it's something exciting or important, when the truth is it could barely be anymore dull. |

No, it was always a racing business story about backroom or production staff because if it had been a presenter getting the elbow, he or she would have been named.
First rule of reading the papers: "famous film star" is a minor character actor no-one anyone has ever heard of; a real star would be named because that is what sells. |

I can't say I'm a big fan of Tom Lee, though he seems to irritate a few people on here - he seems quite anonymous compared to most, and he's far less of an itch than the 'anchors' like Lesley Graham, and the 'expert pundits' Emma Spinster & Alice Spunk-kit.
Francome is an utter embarrassment and McCririck has become a caricature of himself! Tanya's OK and bearable, although she's still looking uncomfortable in front of the cameras - at least I could imagine her having a bet and liking the sport, unlike the other token females who are just useless. Alistair Down at least has a genuine enthusiasm for the sport as does Jim McGrath. Sick Fcuk has his finger in every pie it seems, and although not a favourite of mine would survive the cull only because I haven't got enough bullets and there are far more urgent sacrifices to be made. I think there should be more input on CH4 Racing from Simon Holt & Richard Hoiles though with their priorities as commentators that may be difficult. Cattermole is another that doesn't aggravate me as much as many others on the forum, as long as he's not commentating, and PLEASE...don't start me about Artie  In summary then...bullets left in the chamber that need to be prioritised; 1. Artie (a must for EVERYONE'S short-list, and BANKER for placepots) 2. Francome (hugely tiresome, and still bleating out the same cliches after a quarter of a century) 3. Graham (no interest in the sport, inadequate window-dressing for myopic PC sheep) 4. Spencer (see above) 5. Plunkett (ditto) 6. Luck (smugness personified, and needs to use some simple English) |
