Will someone please shoot Mike Tucker. I have had to put up with him all through the eventing but now he is really driving me nuts.To say he is talking gibberish is putting it mildly
Awww really, I like Mike Tucker - he's an institution for me when it comes to horsey commentary - wouldn't be the same without him.
Ducks for cover.
Have to say though his gushing comments about Anky and Arnelinda Cornelissem or whatever her name is, do suggest he doesn't actually know what correct work looks like?
I think he's hilarious. He is in fact, Dudley Diplock from 'Riders'
I howled when he announced someone was married to her husband, he always gets everyone's name wrong. He can't say Mark Todd or Edward Gal without 'TheGreat' before them, and he leaves his mike on when he's chatting to the back up team.
True English eccentric.
I like him.. to an extent! he does get annoying, I did notice an interesting comment as a showjumping horse was going round
'this horse can hopefully move on to bigger and better things'
err what? bigger and better than the olympics? the most televised competition with the very best riders from all around the world in ? and people from all over the world travelling to watch?
hmm maybe i misunderstood but that's how I heard it!
I love him - he's part of it
Murray Walker often talked a load of nonsense too - still loved him, and F1 is not the same!
OMG why did Mike and Judy think it would be a good idea to talk through every dressage test today? When it's dressage to music, I don't want to hear people telling me what i'm seeing (i.e. great piaffe, slight mistake there) or listen to Mike tell us for the umpteenth time that Charlotte only started competing in Grand Prixs 18 months ago, or listen to apparently some other commentator in the background! I want to listen to the music they're doing dressage to!
Please BBC, next time you put dressage to music on the TV, can you make the commentators wait until AFTER the test to make brief comments on what they thought.
