To wonder why the BBC couldn't manage to get someone better than Alan Partridge to cover the Thames pageant?

You'd think they could do a bit better, really - no?

really? i had no idea, i am watching the cars movie with the kids

his farty pomposity is just the thing for this -rather fabulous and inspired of them to get him

Chapeau, Beeb!

They've reigned him in a bit, though, so not quite as snortingly funny as usual. Shame.

malcolm tucker would have been another inspired choice

I reckon Ted Maul should be involved.
