Regardless of what you might think of TG, it was the best that was on of a bad job tonight.

Anyway, fair play, a great piece and tribute to Eddie Kidd by Paddy whathisname.....

Made a change to be told the history, along with the story and see the footage of that fateful day at Long Marston when his head hit the tank and did the damage and then seeing him now aged 62.

Credit where credit is due, an enjoyable and interesting bike related tribute :thumbsup: (Well I thought so anyway)

Totally agree. Fantastic tribute. I am pretty sure Mr Kidd lives in my town although the overhead was of Peacehaven. He has been in the news on and off in recent years over his care arrangements.

The other article on the supercars was very good as well. In fact in my view the whole programme was excellent.

If only they would stick to this type of stuff rather than the juvenile silliness they normally get up to.

No doubt normal service will be resumed shortly, complete with exaggerated northern accents (why do they do that?) and jokes about wee wee etc…..

Very good. Enjoyed it. Especially Vettel teasing McGuiness about the pretend high pitched voice.

Very good tribute and quite emotional.
Amazing how Eddie always has a smile on his face.

I cant watch the new TG as that Paddy gets right up my nose and the other two pratts are almost as bad

I was there when Eddie had his crash, I cant help but tell you it was inevitable and the bloke was either extremely brave or absolutely mental to even consider it as while the run up seemed ok the landing area was way short and as rough as it gets, you wouldn't want to ride over it never mind land on it at speed
