Daft BAFTA
I am still trying to cope with the idea that the best Outside Broadcast Sports coverage was won by ITV's coverage of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix.
Considering that:
a) the pictures were, presumably, courtesy of whichever Canadian company does the F1 coverage; and
b) the commentators are almost universally detested by the various F1 communities I frequent, mainly because they spin what they see distressingly often and are waaaaaay too partisan.
Furthermore, I have seen no dismay in the F1 communities about a return to BBC F1 coverage next year. Far from it. They are mostly over the moon about it. So why have ITV won this? I just don't get it.
