I happened to be at home this afternoon and was happily watching the test match when I realised the RAF were on BBC. The coverage wasn't brilliant, but I'm grateful that they covered it at all.

My heart sank when the commentator described a rather nice replica Nieuport as an SE5a, and I realised who the commentator was. Fortunately, my Sky+ box invited me to press the red button for 'expert commentary', so I did.

I'm afraid that Dan 'talks-to-five-year-olds' Snow really p*ss*s me off whenever he's on.

I recently watched an otherwise excellent programme on Kilda, where he was introduced as a 'historian', but I had to fast-forward whenever he started spouting his usual dumbed down tosh.

Is it too much to expect a commentator to remember that some of the viewers are grown-ups|
