Well, I won't miss the incessant ads, that's for sure. But who will commentate, I wonder?

Best news I've heard in ages! :y Nothing wrong with ITV's actual coverage and commentary team, but adverts every 8 minutes throughout the race is unacceptable. Lets hope the BBC get Brundle and Blundell on board. :y

I think it's great news.

As mentioned above the constant ad breaks are very annoying, but more than anything I now feel like my TV licence is actually paying for something that I want to see on the Beeb.  :)

You never know.........I've just been listening to the lunchtime news and they were interviewing Murray about coming out of retirement to do the commentary again. :y He hasn't made a decision but he says he misses it, so it could be on the cards.
