Thank you for this very entertaining interview. :-)

The first time I heard the British Eurosport commentators was during the ’97-’98 season. Prior to that I was used to Dutch Eurosport commentary by Joan Haenappel. She was allright, but the British commentators became my favorites and remained so even after having listened to American, French, German and Canadian commentators on YouTube because as you pointed out, they explain the technical side of figure skating so well.

I also love the interaction between the British Eurosport commentators, sometimes mild sarcasm there. They always have something interesting to say. I’ve never seen Howarth skate though and I’m curious to find out what kind of skater and competitor he was. Loved the stories about his skating boots and figure skating competitions.
