BBC Burghley commentators - a small whinge!

[Ludi-doodi]

Does anyone know Mike Tucker(I think that's who does the commentating sorry if it's not?!

) If they do could they please, please have a quiet word with him and tell him the the word is PERformance and not PROformance

!!

It's something that's irritated me for years now - he does it everytime I hear him and at the Windsor dressage the other saturday evening it was driving me mad!

Rant over and shoving myself back into my box!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I'll nip down and give him a slap for you

.......ROFL

!!!!

 

[Ludi-doodi]

Much appreciated. Anything I can do to return the favour?

It's been annoying me for years too, I'm glad someone else has noticed it!!!

Good grief I am not alone. I moan about this (much to OH's annoyance). "It's PERformance - not PREformance".

I think he also gets most words prefixed (or should that be PERfixed!!) with PER - wrong! PREhaps I'm wrong?!

Mike Tucker gets a lot of things wrong ...

)

I quite like him, I just wish he'd pronounce that word properly!

 

[jcberry]

I like his commentary

much better than the bloke on H&C

 

[k1963]

He does tend to get his words in a mess - but so do many commentators . Could too much hospitality ( of the liquid , alcoholic sort ) be to blame ?

Stirs up hornets nest now - I'm sure Andy Austin (?)the SJ commentator is a nice bloke , but he is so bland ( runs off & hides again

You'd think with digital TV, there would be a "no commentary" option available for all sports coverage. I would prefer to listen to the crowd, the horses panting and whinnying, etc.

 

[Doris68]

I also like his commentaries - it's just his pronunciation that I don't like.

It has nothing to do with "too much juice" - he just can pronouce his worms proper innit!

Sorry,slight off topic, but reminds me of the Tour de France commentators continually referring to the "General Classiment" - err what about the General Classification?
