Too much commentary, too little action

If on BBC they often have a red button option with no commentary. Having said that why not just use the mute button?

On many I turn the sound on and and off as suits. Never listen on snooker.

Oh yes, I agree. They just don't seem to be able to shut up. Some of the family like to watch the Tour de France, but there is only a limited amount of time that I can spend looking at the lovely scenery before the endless commentary drives me away. Sometimes you can just see what is happening without being told!

It's interesting nanna8 that things are better in Australia. Could you please send over a coaching team for commentators? Thanks.

I usually enjoy watching Wimbledon but John McEnroe could not stop talking and it was usually about how good a player he was!

It is not a lot better with the Commonwealth Games, they chatter on inanely.

One hopes.

carp?? ?

That's the reason we don't watch sport. You only need the essential information, not their inane waffle.
