Not sure who Presenters 1 - 4 are, but suffice to say they are a combination of George Thomas, Martin Unsworth, Danny Cox and Cindy Burrowes, in some order.

Wednesday Race 32 Durham University ‘A’ v Imperial College London ‘A’ (Temple)
Presenter 1: It’s Durham and IC. Both crews going off very aggressively. There’s not much between them, just a few feet, in favour of Durham...
Presenter 2: It’s Durham who maintain a lead of a length over Imperial College London, eh, in fact the IC `A' crew, em, are taking a bit of a beating here, em, it’s unusual to see Imperial College so far down at this stage of a race...
Presenter 3: But it’s still the Durham University `A' crew who are leading Imperial College em by some lengths or a length and a half must be two lengths as they go away past the three quarter mile mark. And it is almost two lengths now...
Presenter 4: Durham still appear to have a relatively commanding lead and look on track to be able to keep that to the finish.

Race 49 N.S.R. Oslo, NOR v Sport Imperial B.C. (Wyfold)
Presenter 1: It’s the Wyfold Challenge Cup. And we have Sport Imperial Boat Club against N.S.R. Olso of Norway. And as they go through the quarter mile signal and it is Sport Imperial Boat Club who led by half a length. Norwegians having a bit of a problem with the steering they be right over in the middle...
Presenter 2: Sport Imperial are leading, by two lengths, over the Norwegians...
Presenter 3: Sport Club Imperial out in the lead. Look about a length clear water over NSR Oslo...
Presenter 4: Norske Studenter Roklub eh just as they came towards the beginning of the regatta enclosure, headed towards the center of the course. It’s Sport Imperial maintaining this lead over Norske Studenter Roklub...

Race 23 Friday July 2nd 342 Imperial College London & Sport Imperial v 348 Waiariki R.C., NZL (P. Grace)
Presenter 1: This is a heat of the Princess Grace Challenge Cup, the women’s quadruple sculls event, eh between Waiariki rowing club from New Zealand, eh, the New Zealand quad, em and Imperial College London and Sport Imperial Boat club, and eh at the barrier it looks very much as though Waiariki have eh over a length lead...
Presenter 2: As the Imperial crew are now starting to put in a push and rate up a little bit. They are both working into quite a strong head wind which is picking up...
Presenter 3: Not a care in the world for the kiwi crew who now have, oh probably three lengths over the boat behind them. The Sport Imperial Crew here...
Presenter 4: Waiariki have got this well in control...

Race 11 Sunday July 4th 182 Leander Club & Durham University v 180 Leander Club ‘A’ (Visitors)
Presenter 1: There’s a long way to go but this is a fantastic performance by the Leander and Durham University composite so far. They’re overrating the Leander crew significantly; I make it three or four pips higher...
Presenter 2: It’s the lightweight crew, the Leander, Durham University, Imperial College composite on the towpath station, striking 34 and a half. The heavyweight crew just put in a bit of a burst there up to 35 as they came past the three quarter mile mark. The heavyweight crew from Leander club on the town side, that’s closed them up a little bit – and there’s not very much clear water here...
Presenter 3: Against all the odds, it’s the lightweights on the Barkshire station that have had the advantage throughout this race. Boats now approaching the bottom end of the enclosures, now have the heavyweights on the Buckshire side really got what it takes to come back? Despite the fact they are giving away four stone a man, the Durham/Leander composite now beginning to eh, eek out yet further advantage on the pure Leander crew, …still have a length and a half or so if they’re gonna come back, but they’ve gone past the hole in the wall and it’s all all too late for the heavyweights, but once again it’s gonna be the eh Leander/Durham composite who eh, take the trophy back to Leander for the first time in three years...
