Oh, no.

Every single great commentator I know the work of has got a genuine shocker in them.

From leading football commentators calling a goal from a free kick when it's the wrong player.

Inexplicable.

How on earth would you possibly do that?

One of the best in the UK to do that did this earlier this year.

You can, because it's live TV, you can do it so, so easily.

I...

I had a moment, the first race I ever did for Five Live was Canadian Grand Prix where they put the chequered flag out at the wrong moment.

I think someone, I'm trying to remember the context of it, but the flag was out at the wrong stage.

And then Vettel goes around again.

And I spent the entire lap going, have I spent my entire life trying to get

to bbc radio to do a commentary and i've got the the end of the race wrong and you're cold you're you're physically cold all the blood it's it's the blood stops and then obviously it comes around and the checker flags out again and i was like and the checker flags waiting for surpassing vessel again with all the relief in the world that it was their error not my error but like yeah uh

you it's so, it's so, so easy to do.

Uh, and yeah, in, in, in terms of, in terms of going back and analyzing it, I'm always like, let the emotion fully like drain out, try and forget a little bit about like every part of the race.

I just random thing where I'm like, right, I'm going to pick, I'm going to pick a random time.

You're going to go to timeline and pick a random time because you kind of know whether you've done the bad moments and the good moments and

It's, it's then important to go, okay, what does it, what, what does a fairly anonymous lap 15 sound like?

Cause that's, that's as, as important as retaining your audience style.

Yeah, exactly.
