ERm anyone who heard the commentary must agree, that the man is well passed his best and way out of touch. Though he was superb in his day, the commentating last weekend was very very poor.

I thought he was fantastic. The guy's 83 for @#$%& sake. I just hope I'm half as sprightly, energetic and quick when I'm 2/3 of that.
He's hardly changed at all from when he hung up his mic. Bare in mind it's radio, so it's a completely different sort of audience he was broadcasting to. They assume the listeners have no visual representation of what's going on, so the commentators have to try to portray it to them. As far as I'm aware it was his first radio commentary in about 35 years, and he only slipped once I think ("as you can see" or something along those lines). He made his usual mistakes, but it's not as if James Allen is immune to them
He left the technical details to Maurice and just concentrated on his job, like he's always done.

i don't think the mistakes detract from his commentary at all. if you watched the race on ITV and listened to the radio for his commentary, then you could see what actually was going on if he made a mistake, and you can forgive him because as Gav said, he's 83. he's lucky to even be active and in relatively good health, never mind attempting to keep up with what's going on in a manic F1 race!
his mistakes are all part of his charm, wereas James should really know better not to make those obvious mistakes like calling someone driver x, when it was really driver y.
his enthusiasm was infectious and he just sounded thrilled at what he was watching. James just sounds like a tit when he starts screaming, just listen to the commentary as Hamilton crossed the line for pole position at Silverstone, for a recent example.
Murray even got so excited, he said "i'll have to stop now, before i lose my voice!"
i switched the radio off when the race was red-flagged cos the went back tot he golf, but i'd have loved him to come back and join Martin for one race, the European GP especially as it was so action-packed.
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael
