Grand Prix, a British television programme based on the Formula One World Championship, had three main presenters during its history: Murray Walker from 1978 to 1996, Jake Humphrey from 2009 to 2012 and Suzi Perry from 2013 to 2015.

On occasions the BBC employed a "ghost commentator" which was someone who would be in touch with the production team in London and gained access to timing monitors so that cameras could record what was occurring off the track.

The first broadcast of the programme came at the 1978 Monaco Grand Prix and the show featured one of the most iconic theme tunes in sport, with Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain".

This channel switch resulted in 273 viewers complaining that they had set their PVRs to record the race but had missed out on its climax, when most of the exciting incidents occurred.

The subsequent disruption to the schedule was flagged up to the audience throughout via the commentary and was also made clear again just prior to switching the coverage to BBC Two.

Martin Brundle and Ted Kravitz left BBC for Sky at the end of 2011 and were replaced by Ben Edwards as lead commentator and former Jordan Grand Prix designer Gary Anderson joining as reporter and technical analyst.

Jake Humphrey continued to host, Eddie Jordan analysed on live races and David Coulthard stayed as colour commentator.
