    Loved his commentary yesterday and the old graphics they used to use in the 70's and 80's - nice of Gerry Francis to still be sporting his hair cut from the 80's too :)

    The BBC get a lot of stick, but they got this fantastically right.

    Just made your remember what a great commentator he was not sure I'd want to go back to the 70's graphics every week but I wish he could come out of retirement or we could get some new commentators who are even close to being as good

    Bit more passion about him - not as clinical

    Not very often they don't, 90% of their output is garbage or repeats and the last funny sitcom they produced was The Office and that was 13 years ago.

    If you only watch programmes on catch up then you don't have to pay the licence fee, unfortunately Match of the Day is not on catch up though.

    Thought it was an excellent touch having Barry Davies and using the old graphics as well, also the results at the end from James Alexander Gordon.

    Quality - the licence fee is worth every penny in my opinion, if only to ensure ad free news.
