Brian Redhead Was Right

I have been listening to the Malaysian Grand Prix today on BBC Radio 5 Live.

It has been a disaster for Sky, as for most of the race, it has been raining cats and dogs.

So as the late great Brian Redhead once said. “If television had been invented first, radio would be the dominant medium, as the pictures are better!”

The BBC commentators are proving him right, by bringing interesting guests to the microphone, explaining everything that is going on extremely well. But then, the BBC has had all that practice with cricket.

If I was paranoid, after reading Brian Redhead’s Wikipedia entry, I’d think I had a ruptured appendix, as he died of one, after complaining of pain in his left side and leg.  But I’ve had my pain for years, so it’s probably nothing to worry about.
