I am with you, Foldie, and it was very noticeable that, as the row progressed over the Jubilee weekend, the BBC made the effort to improve. Huw Edwards' commentary on the flypast was very well prepared, to the extent that he named the captain of each aircraft as it flew over.

Ten years ago at the Golden Jubilee flypast IIRC, the household-name commentator could not even identify the aircraft. The protests then, and there were many, fell on seemingly unconcerned ears. Let us hope this time the row has been big enough to bring about a permanent change in the BBC's approach to commentaries, so that they always match the professionalism and effort of the people in the event.
