I think 'Doing' is a darn sight harder than sitting in an armchair criticising, and was the commentary perfect? not by any means but could it have been worse?
Are we expecting to hear specialist knowledge that will cater to those that insist or demand it? How many MILLIONS of viewers watched this spectacular event, how many of them enjoyed it compared to those that felt the need to give vent!
The Royal Air Force is the junior service that is well adept at 'Bringing up the rear!'
but how dare it hold up the proceedings
Did it hold them up? I thought the whole day was brilliantly organised, the TV coverage excellent and it made me feel proud to be British or is that proud to be a whinging pom!!
Does it really matter and is that all we have to complain about? I have heard the Editor In Chief of that broadcast accept his broadcasters might have done better and quite rightly so, I would hate to think anyone does not strive to improve but could you, or could I have done better? Could any presenter have done better taking into account all the specialist knowledge they would need to describe those events that took place during the hours that broadcast went on for.
Well done to ALL our main channels for broadcasting this once in a lifetime occasion.
