Channel 4 'drop' athletics presenter

[Jello]

Ortis, the gadget show bloke seems bit out of his depth hosting this.

As I said before 100m final he was way out of his comfort zone by being live. Not sure about his replacement either, former T4 presenter Rick Edwards

 

[Bean]

That was terrible. Got to feel for him being that poo on live TV.

Racist b*stard!

 

[Mackenzie]

I can see why he was dropped.

 

[wunt be druv]

Still better than when he's on the gadget show on C5....Get PollyAnna Woodward on

Now you are talking,seriously fit babe!

 

[albertbilbert]

Is he the guy that used to do Newsround? Ex CBBC presenters seem to pop up everywhere.

 

[Sheebo]

[MENTION=3]Trigger[/MENTION] etc may remember him - presented the lecturnfactor quiz one night! If i remember you lot got him to hand me the mic and sing take that cos i look(ed) like Gary Barlow lol

 

[Fur Cough]

Racist b*stard!

[Herr Tubthumper]

He presents the Gadget Show on C5 and is a former CBBC presenter

Feel for the guy, that was really bad. Fault must be with the production team who put him in that role, and then the inability for them to get his confidence up and make things a bit easier for him.

He looked really stressed, Alan Partridge cringeworthy.

managed 51 seconds...... truly awful

The production team are all experienced sports coverage people. On screen presenters are usually impose by the TV company and in this case Channel 4 say they have a remit to give new young talent the chance. Rather than someone who can actually do the job.

They should have at the least pulled him out of there, perhaps Roland Rat may get the channel 4 nod next time

 

[seagullmouse]

Not as bad as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve0FQS1DLs4&feature=share

 

[hart's shirt]

Horrendously out of his depth and being left to drown in a heady mire of inexperience and lack of preparation.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Gotta feel for the bloke. Clearly not THAT clued up on the sport.

Rick Edwards jas actually been quite good. I don't think it matters that he came from T4. Everyone starts somewhere.

It really shows just HOW GOOD the BBC are at their sports/olympics coverage.

While this is true it was clear he wasn't getting much support from the production team. If they had an auto cue it wasn't working and the producer wasn't making things easier for him either.

Can channel 4 just not have sport, but i would love them to get the cricket back
