In this technological day and age, why do we have watch his hand messing around with a computer screen? The runners and riders should be an automatic moving screen with commentary about each as they go.

It was an absolute shambles on Saturday, with Graham and Jim really messing up the tapping of the buttons on the screen.

They kept hitting the wrong buttons and either nothing happened or the wrong thing happened. There were hairy hands everywhere and it was an absolute embarrassment.

As you say, there’s absolutely no need for us to see them from above tapping the buttons. Why they have to show us that, I’ll never know. That should be a behind-the-scenes task that we don’t need to see in operation.

The run-through of the runners and riders has become a dog’s breakfast.
