Crufts on line coverage

[Goya]

Have any of ypou been watching today?

I have and, as usual been extremely disappointed with the coverage. The live stream keeps sticking, then jumps back to what you have already seen. The flyball coverage was really disappointing--the camers focussed mainly on individual dogs so you couldn't see the changeovers, mistakes made or who was in the lead.

Our friend Mr Purvis, was his usual uniformative self, giving out incorrect information on both the flyball and the Agility.


Such a shame. I know it is on mainstream TV tonight but that will only show highlights of the dog activity competitions and will, naturally focus on the breed showing.

Oh well, feel a bit better for having a moan.

I haven't had chance to watch it today, was going to try and find it on catch up. The lady who has Freya's sister won the HTM Freestyle for the second year running with her collie so would really like to see her routine.
Its about time Peter Purvis was put out to grass, his lack of knowledge drives e mad.

Just been watching the More4 coverage. a little better but seems to be geared to the show side (as one might expect) Claire Balding is much better than PP.

I haven't watched all of it, (missed the first bit) but haven't seen any HTM, only a short clip of Pudsey and an interview with Mary Ray
Have given up now.

The commentators on the online coverage were awful, kept going on about what good condition the hounds were in when they were all too fat with no muscle

There was plenty of non showing etc this afternoon

Just watching More4. What a star Clare Balding was for talking about Angel the missing GSP. I hope whatever scumbag has her gives her back soon!!!

I was sitting here at my desk, and from the sitting room heard the wonderful Ms Balding referring to Golden Labradors......... Come on, she isn't an idiot, surely she knows that there's no such dog. She'll be referring to a chestnut horse as ginger, next.

"There was plenty of non showing etc this afternoon"

I was trying to watch it but the darn stream kept freezing then jumping back to bits I had already seen.
