Interview with 'Tommo'

Quite an insightful interview with racing commentator Derek 'Tommo' Thompson from the Yorkshire Post.

Some interesting comments on the new format for Channel 4's racing coverage:

“I don’t think they’re [Channel 4] providing the type of coverage that the public want. I may be wrong, and they may be right, but the viewing figures are down by 70 per cent. I’ll leave it at that.”
