That Gambler lad nicks the last of his whisky, bums a fag, then gives him advice which is utterly nonsensical.

Does he then gang-rape Becky? Or am I getting mixed up?

There was a documentary about Lillywhite Motson on the BBC iplayer recently

It was very dull

You're thinking of Corrie

Motson's continued employment by the BBC remains a mystery.

Oh god yes - I agree. He remains some sort of God to certain people though. I've never really understood the need for a commentator on footballer, though. In cricket and rugby they can educate the viewer in some of the more difficult rules. Never once has a football commentator done anything as brazen as that

Well of course it was. There is literally - famously - nothing interesting about the man. He was a figure of fun for years, constantly mocked for his tedious commentary where he thought that reeling off statistics in a nasal whine was an acceptable substitute for saying something - anything - insightful.

And then - pretty much overnight it seemed - he went from laughing stock to national treasure. It was weird.

:nod: Even Kenneth Wolstenholme's 'Legendry' piece of commentary in 1966 was pretty obvious if you could a) see and b) hear
