TV presenters drive into hellish gridlock
WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO has nicknamed his fists ‘Hospital’ and ‘Funeral’. Coincidentally the TV Guide has done the same thing, with ‘funeral’ generally holding our fags and ‘hospital’ our extra large tin of Special Drink. We’ll be tucking into both as the heavyweight fight of the year gets going on Saturday night because, well, Saturday night. But we will be indulging in semi-moderation, because it’s a tasty line-up on Sky Box Office, topped by Anthony Joshua v Klitschko for the WBA and IBF world titles. The TV Guide is certain this can’t be as wretched a fight as Klitschko’s last outing, against half-man/ half half-Halloween-pumpkinHalloween p Tyson Fury, while for Joshua it is a chancechanc to fight some someone who isn’t loo looking for an op opportunity to ha have a nice lie down as soon as ddt

Katie Taylor in action. IfI you don’t like that, the TV Guide says you don’t like boxing. and Lewis Hamilton. Just like last week you can watch the race without a Sky subscription, because it’s live on Channel 4.
The main point of difference here seems to be that before thee race on Channel 4 you get to see David Coulthard wheeling his jaw around the grid on a car jack, getting in everyone’s way and asking drivers questions when they’re really trying to concentrate on not crashingng into Sebastian “f*****g” Vettel once the race gets going.
On Sky, by contrast, you have Martin Brundle doing exactly the same thing, albeit without the jaw jack. At some point, every Formula One broadcaster on earth will be lining up all their presenters on the grid, everyone doing the same “KimiKimi, just a quick word” schtick.sch Then there will be no room for cars and drivers,d and F1 will just beb a load of journalists millingm around asking for a moment of each others’ precious time. ThisTh more or less exactly describesdescr the TV Guide’s conception of hell, and if you threatened us with going there, we might actually consider being a better person.
