Thanks ITV – Guinness Premiership on ‘normal’ tv.

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Found out today that there is going to be a new Guinness Premiership highlights program on ITV this season. The new show will be a  hour-long weekly Guinness Premiership highlights show on ITV 4 at 18.30 on Sunday evenings, covering all 22 rounds of the new season, the Guinness Premiership semi-final and final. The show will be hosted by Craig Doyle will be repeated on ITV1 on Tuesday nights (probably in the wee small hours but it’s better than nothing).

I know it’s hardly ground breaking news but I have been waiting for something like this since the beeb let Rugby Special go the way of the occasional, randomly scheduled show.

Rugby, Racing and Beer

Today I have made a discovery – Alternative Rugby Commentary.

ARC is done by a Kiwi called Jed Thain, and it is brilliant! If you don’t believe me then take a look at the following YouTube vids….

Alternative Rugby Commentary – The Ten Commandments.
Alternative Rugby Commentary – The Periodic Tables.
Alternative Rugby Commentary – The Richie Macaw Facts.

I think you’ll agree that being a Kiwi makes him almost a qualified as those of us who are Welsh to pass comment on the greatest game of all.

Think I may have to treat myself to a “Eating ist cheating. Unless it’s a pie…….” t-shirt.

Ruck on
