The new lineup for Channel 4 from January has made a lot of people feel they have to comment. The big question is: will Claire Balding do well? Balding is a competent, professional racing commentator and it seems strange that there are a lot of comments which are negative on Facebook. I prefer her to Alistair Down, who comes over as pompous and just loves the jumps.
I find it strange that they have kept Jim Mcgrath who is for-ever serious; Alice Plunkett who reminds me of a tweedy, old country housewife and Emma Ramsden. No doubt, Emma is the glamorous thread they need but she looks uncomfortable in front of the camera.
It’s no surprise Mike Cattermole and Derek Thompson have gone because they work for ATR and John McCririck has shot himself in the foot with his loud mouth.
To a point, a change for the better because Nick Luck and Claire Balding will do a good job up front.
