I said that I would talk about something else. Here's something else - it's Murray Walker commentating on snooker, from that programme that Jeremy Clarkson briefly did in between when he was on Top Gear and when he was on Top Gear.

People always seem surprised when they learn I used to watch Formula 1, but it was mostly just to listen to him - for people who did not the advantage of his way of brightening up watching improbably fragile cars essentially go around in a circle, Youtube has various further collections of his uniquely frantic style, never for a moment being able to sound calm enough to suggest that his trousers aren't on fire.

F1 was certainly made a lot more endearing to me with Martin's commentary. Martin Brundle and DC have at least carried the flag well for F1 in the last couple of years, but nobody does it quite like he did.

And then there was this guy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wif3Kr0y5js)

He's nowhere near as bad as Jonathan Legard, who DC replaced this year. The last straw was when he couldn't tell the difference between a failed front and rear wing...
