They always do it in the Snooker
It seems too intrusive off air as well to even ask something like “if we do a interview can I bring up”?
We care, we care… what are the viewing figures..
Blackbeard to conquer the World
I wonder if the producers had planned this and Chapman can just hear the script throughhis ear piece?
I find Megan Nicholl really annoying too!Me too Crepello. My heart leapt when they said it was her final day. Sank again when they said she’s to be replaced by Leonna Mayor.
I don’t actually mind Leonna.
The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.
I have noticed in particular from Saturday they have stopped Frankie’s last this and the other.

“Roger Varian is a lovely spoken man.”
I expect he naturally is anyway but he was assistant trainer to Michael Jarvis for several years. He was a proper gentleman and I am sure Mr Varian learned a lot from him.
Agree about Megan Nicholls. I used to think Leonna Mayor was OK until she showed some rather unpleasant behaviour on Twitter earlier this year.
I prefer Megan Nicholls over Leonna Mayor. Leonna has the most irritating voice.
Adele Mulrennan is a breath of fresh air. Articulate, composed and enlightening.
Adele is definitely top of the tree with me.

Adele is just a lovely lady. Doesn’t try too hard and knows her onions. More power to her.
Why don’t ITV Raing employ a form expert?
They ask each other who’s going to win but none of them have a clue about form.
Value Is EverythingNice of Galway to start a race just as they were approaching the furlong pole in the Stewards Cup, forcing RTV to a split screen.
If RTV had half a brain they wouldn’t have gone split screen for just over a furlong.
Leonna has had a very good day, said Sweet William was a good thing and gave excellent reasoning why Free Wind should be opposed. Seems to do plenty of homework and it shows, unlike one or two of the others.
Cesca is dire, what’s with all the dumb questions she keeps asking the “experts”?I assume RTV is contractually obliged to show all races in full.
It is not the first time races in Ireland have been started when the big race of the day in England is reaching its conclusion. I appreciate some people in Irish racing do not like the RTV deal and think they get treated as second best but it is difficult to have any sympathy when they cannot wait a few seconds to start a minor race.
Random thing I noticed this week – Nick Luck is incredibly hard working and always seemed to be the first presenter on the course, he’d often be in restaurants/bars/the stands at 9am taking phone calls and keeping himself busy, one day I saw him sat in a restaurant on his laptop at about 9.30am recording his podcast with Lydia Hislop. The other tv folk seemed to just swan about the parade ring when they were required to, whereas Nick seemed like he genuinely loved being around the place. I should note that both him and Rishi seemed particularly popular amongst those in the sport.
Met the forums friend Richard Hoiles too on Tuesday and he couldn’t have been friendlier.
I think Nick Luck and the RUK team are far better than the ITV mob. Apart from Tuesday when had no internet due to rats chewing through the cables so had to watch the racing on itv, on mute obviously, have been able to watch via RUK, so thankfully no inane fashion items, just plenty of informed opinions, and great interviews by Lydia. James Millman is a good addition to their team too.
