There are plenty of very fine broadcasters, from which ITV racing has had its pick when setting up. They chose Mick Fitzgerald. it struck me that the coverage is akin to NBCs coverage of the Breeders Cup and racing fans need to go elsewhere to get knowledgeable coverage. The brief cameos of Brough Scott showing a glimpse of what could be possible. There were plenty of people complaining about Jim McGrath and John Francome when on screen. They were leagues ahead of what is now on. Lydia Hislop, Nick Luck likewise.

While I may or not be good in front of a camera, you would think that its a prerequisite of a person whose job it is to be in front of a camera.
