ITV F1 Special

ParkLife · 1 Jan 2003, 15:05 (Ref:461552)

Anyone see the ITV thing today?

Was anything interesting said? I missed it. Don't suppose if anyone knows if it's going to be repeated on ITV2 or something?

knowing my luck, probably not.

You didn't miss much. Half-an-hour on Ferrari, comments that Sato has probably done enough to secure his Jordan drive (isn't he testing for BAR next year?) and so on...

I only saw the last 20 minutes. Was it Martin and Mark all the way through or did James, Jangle and the shopping girl make an appearance?

MrPress · 2 Jan 2003, 19:32 (Ref:462235)

There was part of a race shown with a particularly poor piece of James Allen Commentary, after the Austria Debacle

"I don't Adam and Eve it"

Now, is he a cockney, and if so why isn't he trying to hide it?

Other then that it was like every review of every year in every sport ever.

I thought it was very disappointing.....it was meant to be a season review, but they managed to review it in 20 mins of the whole hour, now, i know that the season wasn't the best but surely there was more than 20 minutes worth of action.

Looks like I'm in a minority of one here - I enjoyed it. Not really much point in showing the 'races' again - we've all slept through them once already!

I thought that Ferrari, Williams & McLaren got pretty much the same coverage. Half an hour of Ferrari? Not on the programme I watched!

Good or bad, it was just about the only motor sport on telly this Christmas......

.....apart from the 'Race of Champions', which proved yet again that rally drivers are the world's best, er, rally drivers!

i thought it was the same as last years. i was expecting 2 see Martin in a santa hat in japan recording it 5 min after the last race ended then just doing a quick voice over by phone at the end of the show.
the interviews with the likes of Ron where just the same old boreing questions the asked him all year...
still must not complain better than nothing...I think..
and will some1 please rip that leather jacket of Ron and burn it

It must have been very difficult for ITV to make an interesting review considering the subject matter, but showing endless boring corporatespeak interviews with Brawn, Dennis etc. made it worse than necessary.

If you do that he'll wear that pinstripe again. Imagine the pain!

No there really wasn't...........unless you count the ad breaks too

You can't really expect too much of ITV when it comes to good coverage. As long as Coronation Street goes out at the right time, nothing else matters......

**Spudgun** · 3 Jan 2003, 23:35 (Ref:463189)

I missed it as I was recovering from new year's eve..

I am gutted. I'm starting to get the shakes and there's still two months until Melbourne.
