Live commentary is not something you can just drop into…
It’s been a major progression for me really. Even as a racer, eight-ten years before I stopped, commentary and the media side was something I was interested in and thought it might be an avenue I could pursue. I remember the first time doing live TV and you have all these voices with directors, commercial cue points and restarts and terminology that goes into how a show comes together. It is a process of stop-start all the time and you notice things like the amount of times you say “hello” or “welcome” when you watch a show back! It has to be a seamless thing. I guess it is like riding in a lot of ways; you learn from your mistakes – or you hope to – there is no bigger mistake than messing-up on live TV!
