I watched RTE's coverage of the Irish greyhound derby tonight, which put me in the position of being a casual viewer of a sport I know nothing about.

I'd have liked to be told some simple stuff like where to find race cards to be looking at during the coverage, to know something about the relative class and conditions of the various support races and their place in the calendar, and some idea of who are the current big names, canine and human, in the sport at the moment. But I didn't find myself wishing the coverage could be about fashion or celebrity interviews instead.
