Hes got a great voice for that kinda thing. The vid was a real goose bumper!!

Shivers down the spine!

I got goose bumply all over too.

Yep, very well done piece that.

He sounded like Morgan Freeman.

Very intelligent, articulate bloke Michael Johnson … to go alongside his majestic running and gold running shoes.

Here’s that MJ piece. Well done Jess.

Wow. Best pundit/commentator the BBC have got IMO. I can’t begin to imagine the pressure on Jess’ shoulders before the event. Great vid, thanks for the link

Wow, what a great piece of work, really spine-tingly.
And Jess did it, in style. Such a great effort from such a tiny figure. Wonderful.

He’s well cool, I’m glad the BBC have pretty much adopted him.

For all the complaints regarding the beebs presenters WATCH THAT VT.

Great piece and just shows how much pressure she was under.

Black guy with morgan freeman voice + Mystical kind of language + Thin red line soundtrack + Slow motion shots = cliched yawn

Perspective + novelty + breadth + depth = refreshing.

The form was a bit hammy, but I’d like to see more in the way of insightful, journalistic and/or investigative pieces.

That’s brilliant, loved his commentating last night.

Not to mention he was an unbelievable runner!

That was great, thanks for the link.

Wow. Thanks for that, pressure but some people are destined to succeed.

MJ what a legend.

Black guy with morgan freeman voice

You mean he’s black, and has a deep voice?! Oh my god! No way!

Mystical kind of language

Not at all. Listen to the language used. Not mystical at all. A bit flowery in places, perhaps.

Thin red line soundtrack

Dunno. Not seen the film. Sounded like a stock classical soundtrack piece.

Slow motion shots

Well, duh. It’s about a sport. Of course it will contain super slo-mo HD mega shots.

cliched yawn

That’s your post, that is.
