The Commentators say it as they see it - all the world as sport.

Once stalwards of the radio, whose voices brought major sporting events into the nation's living rooms now The Commentators have fallen from favour. 24 Hour Scalextric was their sporting swansong, now they are freelancers seeking to eke out a living wherever they can find work. They bring to their marathon commentaries of everyday life the same unquenchable enthusiasm they once applied to the greatest sporting contests.

The Commentators are a spin-off from the popular 24 Hour Scalextric event staged in 2009. Commentaries are webcast but also often audible live on-site, they provide an alternative vision of the world we live in. It is professional people watching, it is soft surveillance, it is a public service - of sorts.
