This may have been covered elsewhere, but isn't Danny Crates doing a great job on his Channel 4 coverage of the Paralympics?

He's always upbeat, enjoying himself, informed, and a pleasure to watch. It's not just all about Clare Balding after all.

Yay Danny.

    Totally, totally agree with you. Ch 4 have found a few gems, he is one of them.

    He was one of the people jumping about on the stage when the success of the bid was announced in Trafalgar Square in 2005. I assume he must have been part of the Olympic bid team.

    That's good to hear, - but I'd never heard of him until the Channel 4 coverage. I'm no expert on athletics, but just really appreciate it when someone does their job well, and think they should be given as many new opportunities as possible.
