His commentary of the 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony and 2012 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony alongside Hugh Edwards and Hazel Irvine was widely criticised in the media and on social networks, with one reviewer saying that he was "floundering like a ventriloquist's dummy pumped full of low-grade ketamine".

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or career:
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
