In a poll of general F1 viewers, I recall Jeremy Clarkson and Tiff Needell coming out on top, mainly because the public knows them and doesn't know Ben. Certainly any poll of enthusiasts seems to put Ben Edwards on top.
Irvine as a commentator would be funny at first - James Hunt, who was very similar, would frequently enliven a dull race with his opinionated rantings, sometimes based on nothign but fiction and prejudice, but soemtimes honest and entertaining. His rant against Apartheid during one South African Grand Prix is the stuff of legends.
