Call me a Luddite, but Sky News are showing pretty good coverage...

 

[jamesbell]

I am watching it on BBC 1, and also watching it on http://www.thechelseatile.com/chelsea-river-thames-london-webcam.html

And now I am watching it on SimonA posted webcam

I am watching it on BBC 1,

I am trying to record it from BBC1; and God save me from SWMBO's wrath if I get it wrong!

OH dear, they've left a fender out on the Royal Barge

It's ok - they've just read your post and taken it in.

BBC video coverage is great, but could be better. However, I am very disappointed at the commentary. There is very little information about the boats themselves! Even the great Tom Cunliffe doesn't seem to be able to get a word in edge ways. This is sadly missed opportunity to let the great British public know some of the details of our fantastic maritime heritage. Anyone agree?

 

[david_bagshaw]

Yes I agree, however most people will have tuned in for her maj, not a history lesson.

A missed oppportunity.

 

[BlueChip]

We turned to Sky but the coverage isn't much better on there either.

 

[Steve Clayton]

watching bbc1 in chi yacht club. You'd think the coverage would be better! - very disappointed. Guess Cunliffe is too ugly to actually be on screen. Wanted to more re Dunquirk (sp) boats. eg was L'orange in the sailpast?

Gave up watching it on bbc, and went to the boat,bbc is naff.

 

[ianc1200]

"L'orange"?????

 

[rr_123]

"L'orange"?????

the old fruit box that Raymond Baxter used to sit on when helming L'Orage up at Henners

 

[dash300]

Commentry very thin on knowledge of the boats involved - more about the presenters profiling themselves for the cameras. Shoddy by both Sky and BBC.

As the owner of a plastic tub I am not particularly interested in the Blazer Brigade but I would have hoped for a little more information on the Dunkirk and Historic Working boats.

Yes I can do the research because I am interested, but the vast number of viewers need to be prersented with such historic information. This used to be what the BBC was good at, but ego enhancing celebrity presenters have become the norm. Or am I just being an old duffer?

Agree, didn't tune in to see Tess Daly jiving in some park or newly born baby "santiago" at St Thomases, all the time these muppets presenters were posing , the procession we actually wanted to see was going on in the background.

Really miss Raymond Baxter....

 

[rr_123]

miss Raymond Baxter....

I hadn't thought about it when I made the Baxter-based comment above, but now you mention it I can almost hear his commentary, and it's much better...

 

[Ramage]

Agreed, just as the ADLS were coming into view, the presenter decided we wanted to see the flags on a block of flats instead!

 

[Sulley]

Also agree, I know we maybe have more interest than others but I would have liked to know more about the boats and not babies!!

She was on the list and missing from her home mooring last week, so I assume she made it. Neither the BeeB nor Sky made much of the ADSL boats - engaging in chattering instead.

One I did see was Gaiety; interesting as she is used as a liveaboard and I haven't seen her move from her mooring in at least 5 years.
