Channel 4 'drop' athletics presenter

[gjh1971]

And this is the reason why.......

 

[Brighton Boy]

Wow, that was awful

 

[pingpangpong]

Could only manage 40 seconds of that. Dreadful.

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

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

 

[We're the Stripes]

Hard to watch. Stick to Short Change, Ortis.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Don't want to watch him crash & burn, have seen enough of it this week.

I thought he was normally a decent presenter??

 

[Fur Cough]

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

 

[Decode]

Still....its better than Sue Barker! Why did Channel 4 buy the Athletics anyway...seems a bit random for them.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Not familiar with the guy. Is he an athlete given the presenter's job because he's a name, or is he a legit TV presenter in another field?

 

[Marc1901]

It alot of pressure though to be fair on the man. It was bad though.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Marcgorry, the guy in your avatar did better on air than the athletics presenter. Maybe he should get the job!

 

[Lord Bamber]

That really was awful, car crash tv at its worst (or is it best?)

 

[Magic Sponge]

Manage about a minute of that ....

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Poor bloke, that was painful

 

[Biscuit]

To be fair presenting is a very hard job and it didn't seem as though he had an autocue or a decent producer behind him, oh and it's live.

That being said it was painful!

 

[Marc1901]

Marcgorry, the guy in your avatar did better on air than the athletics presenter. Maybe he should get the job!

And he didn't even know what he was going on about!

 

[trueblue]

"The pole vault certainly isn't for me". Nope. But he was for the high jump...

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Sheeeeeeeeeesh. If ever there was a landmark case for allowing performance enhancing drugs in athletics, that'd be it. Painful, & then some.

 

[Marc1901]

I'd love to have a go at doing that job, might be better?!

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