Once more I find myself riveted to the television viewing a major sporting event. I have to say that I am rather enamoured of the coverage provided by the BBC. I’ve mainly been watching the sailing, at least when JFGP will let me take a break from building towers of bricks and cups for him knock over.
Only one thing could make it better, the work of Messrs Slaven and Nelson – The Dream. Although I really don’t miss the Seven coverage as it is chock full of adverts and the commentary practically redefines the word parochial. Still, I’m sure there will be a DVD on sale (or for rent) when we return down under.
Andy,
The Dream is not so good this time around, so I don’t think you are missing much. NZ have been hopeless so far, but a Gold in the rowing and our cyclist is racing for gold tonight. Too bad we have to enlist the Poms to win back our saling cup.
