I miss the local broadcasters doing the coverage. Some directors were exceptional, but others… yeah. “Prost has just done an epic pass on Senna’s Lotus for the lead round the outside of turn 1, but we can’t see it because we’re still watching Manfred Winklehock’s ATS run around on its own in 18th”.

There was a story, back when not all the races were broadcast live, that the BBC sat down to edit everything for the highlights, only to find that the local TV director had decided that the only driver that mattered was the race leader. It was one of those races were the leader had dominated. (1/2)

Murray and James were adding the commentary as-live at TVC, and had to rely on a report from whoever was at the track. Somehow they managed it, with James throwing in more than a few of his "We just can't see it from where we are" remarks for good measure.
