Ski Sunday used to be a great programme, in that it predominantly showed sport. Unfortunately, like too many beeb programmes, it has now been taken over by the presenters who seem to think THEY are more important than the sport they are meant to be covering. So in the old days, you could watch coverage of the skiing with the excellent David Vine giving the commentary. Now, you get the self-obsessed Graham Bell staring at the camera whilst a race goes on in the background. Or, before the Men's downhill race in Wergen, Switzerland what did Ski Sunday do? They firstly spent 10 minutes on a pointless discussion between the presenter and Graham bell in a chalet. Then when the racing actually started, instead of letting us watch it like they used to do, we had a 2 minute 'intro' to each featured skiier, followed by a ludicrous 'assessment of 'how they did' at the end of each run by the annoying Graham Bell. This meant there was only time to actually watch 7 skiers do their runs!
Such a shame that yet another bbc 'sports' programme has been ruined by the overinflated ego of the presenter.
