I wanted to vomit after watching that ugly rug muncher Balding doing the intro. She had that solemn look on her mug as she spoke into the camera and if you didn't know she was banging on about two teams of toffs (and American ringers) rowing a boat you'd have thought she was commentating on the Queen's funeral march. It's a tradition so fair play, I'd rather that get coverage than spotty oiks on skateboards, but she needed to lighten the mood a tad. Frumpy auld bean abuser that she is.
