The lost

Do you like them?
When moto gp first moved from BBC to bt sport I honestly thought I was going to end up throwing something at the telly.

Julian Ryder and Keith Huewen would continually go off topic telling us stuff about the previous night's hospitality I mourned the loss of steve parish and Charlie Cox. Although things have improved with Neil hodgeson

I don’t have BT Sport, so can’t really compare them with Murray Walker and James Hunt - the best the BBC ever had.

Walker had the ability to talk over the screaming engines, and he wasn’t afraid to say everything he saw, even if he occasionally made a fool of himself by doing so.

I mentioned him in one of my guide entries once. It was a Clive Anderson quote that described Murray Walker as a man who even in his quieter moments sounds like his trousers are on fire.

Charlie Cox was brill, he came out with some right one liners "Less grip than a dog on lino" or "he needed that like he needed a third armpit" and Stay off the white line, as it will be as slippery as a Rolex salesman at a car boot sale." smiley - rofl
