ITV team around the bandstand

Cringeworthy scenes.

Beyond embarrassment.

Embarrassing themselves yet again

Ratpack in on the act too

I switched over immediately before the sing-song...it had nothing to do with horse racing, and neither was it entertainment. And Ed Chamberlin...not a horse racing presenter, in my opinion; an anchor yes, but main presenter for a horse racing programme never in the old days, I firmly believe.

A disgrace .

Ed promised us Aiden like we've never seen before. I was disappointed, I was expecting him to turn up at the gallops on a motorbike while wearing superman pyjamas.

They did that at Ascot previously.

Of all person why McCoy? The bloke could barely string two sentences together; a wasted journey and opportunity missed to extract info from Aiden and Ballydoyle.

McCoy completely grates on me as well and I'm in no doubt I'm in the majority with that. Such a charmless, montone individual completely devoid of any semblance wit or charisma.

Have to agree.

Agreed...Ed's act is rapidly becoming tiresome,McCoy is pointless in this setting...as for the "social stable",what a load of cr@p...use Kevin Blake by all means but have him alongside Murtagh and Weaver,not wasting his talents in the "comedy" act with his laughing hyena sidekick...and as for Shouty being second commentator

Time to ditch the pretense that they need such a large team of experts and get Ant & Dec on board.

If you ditched them all the forum would lose half of it's threads.

"If you ditched them all the forum would lose half it's thread"

Indeed, as I'll be one of those watching intently throughout the entire transmission rather than being selective...to avoid annoyance.

As ever I will be not be watching ITV. One of the great things about ITV is that we get a rest from Chapman.

No you don't....He was on all day.

I want to see more of Chapman.

Do ITV need to put out a horse racing programme at exorbitant cost? I do understand it is majorly funded by a bookie. In my opinion, absolutely not as they could so easily "buy" from either Racing UK or ATR whichever has the contract to screen. At least then, horse racing aficionados can enjoy the best Flat Racing programme on earth fully and satisfactorily.

Who exactly was "on all day"?

Chapman obviously...

Chapman obviously on which channel?   Bearing in mind I already stated that I don't watch ITV.

I'm on peak ITV at present. After the WC I'll hardly watch it at all.

You also stated Itv was great coz rest from Chapman,you don't though as he's on all the time..

You do if you're not watching ITV.

I was simply making the point that whenever Chapman was on ITV then I would not have to see or hear him on ATR.

He's not the worst,at least he genuinely loves racing...
Can grate after a while agreed.

Not long now.

Ladies and Gentlemen you are live on ITV

Look at how important we all think ourselves are

oh God

wtf is this?

totally ridiculous

poor old frannie looks embarrassed to be reduced to this

All the cameras on them and not on any punters.

Shouty looked daft

Walos.

That's the last thing you need after doing your bollocks on the nags.
