P James Hunt was excellent , totally politically incorrect and knew what he was talking about as was Murray 90% of the time !! Portillo is good at what he does, the rest need dynamite slotting into a exclusive position !! As to what they get paid WHY ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 James Hunt was excellent Pardon me. The one exception. Anyone who could'nt give a f*ck and used an Austin A35 van as daily transport rates highly in my book. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Female - Rosie's Mum (AKA Lorraine Kelly) Male - Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross, I would have jailed the two of them for that tasteless prank call stunt to Andrew Sachs Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Keith Lemon (ok, i know he's playing an exaggerated character). I cannot stand anything he does. Even a trailer for whatever rubbish he's on has me leaving the room. And as for Piers "Morgan" Moron... And a special shout out for Steve Wright when he does his Sunday nausea show which I am occasionally subjected to. Being more positive, I like Danny Bowes on planet rock (actually most planet rock presenters are pretty good), and I might be in a relatively small group in thinking that the new Bake Off group are better than when it was on BBC. Sandi Toksvig is a refreshing change on QI, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Like - Dr.Alice Roberts, Sir David Attenborough, James Burke, Raymond Baxter, Alan Wicker. Loath - Paul O'Grady, Laura Kuensberg, Russell Brand (not a presenter really but so bloody annoying, not really a what I'd call a comedian either). There are countless others but life is far too short...! Edited January 30, 2018 by Rugd1022 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted January 30, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2018 The only TV show I watch nowadays is the Grand Tour so I really can't comment on contemporary TV presenters. I do however despise Russell Brand and Jonothan Ross. I was just saying to my wife this weekend that the only reason we should continue paying for a TV licence is to that on balance the inevitable harassment from the licence gestapo would be more objectionable than just paying the TV tax.

tigerburnie Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not enough hours in the day to list the dislikes, but I used to do a lot of Antique fairs when I lived in England and that David Dickinson was a top bloke, all the smarm vanished away from the cameras, I was quite surprised first time I met him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'm a miserable old git, and so I don't like any of them. They all seem to be well up themselves, and are massively overpaid. Mind you I don't watch most of the shows that the worst ones are on. 10 seconds is about all they get before I switch over. Most panel shows are bearable, and Sandi Toksvig I can cope with on QI and Dara O'Briain on Mock The Week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Being more positive, I like Danny Bowes on planet rock (actually most planet rock presenters are pretty good) Alice Cooper takes it for me, I do love his fun and freaky facts. Also like the way he'll be reeling off a story, casual as anything, then you realise the other person in the story is even more famous than him. So unpretentious, just a bloke chatting and playing a few tunes. The Hairy Biker's show is suprisngly good radio, too. Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zomboid Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'm rarely listening when Alice Cooper is on, so I don't have much of an opinion. The hairy rock show is a bit cheesy, but good fun with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinty3f Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Barry Scott (who?). Maybe strictly not a presenter but when he bursts on screen advertising Cillit Whotsit and announces himself as if we should all know him, I cringe. Almost as objectionable as Jimmy Carr presenting ersatz panel shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Davina McCall. Mouth on a stick. USA Lori Allen. Robin Gibbs. Monte Durham. Flori Waters and all and any of the rich bitch mothers with their 'the World's all about me' daughters that appear on 'Say Yes To The Dress, Atlanta. All part and parcel of the great American pastime of get wed today for thousands, get divorced tomorrow for millions. Allan Oh, and I'll never forgive that totally naff Noel Edmonds for pushing that inane and despicable Mr Blobby in my face every Saturday night then going on to make three million quid out of it with after sales marketing while thousands watching it were about to be repossessed because they couldn't afford to keep up their mortgage.

Jim Martin Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) He annoyed me on some quiz when he asked what sport "Oola Oolsen was a 3 time world champ". One of the options was speedway & I am a big fan of that so it couldn't be that one..could it? It was Ole Olsen! I know than name very well. It is pronounced Olly Olsen though. Never forgave him for that one.... It's possible that he was actually right. There's a long tradition of English (and probably British, but I don't know for certain) people mispronouncing Scandinavian names. Jan Molby's name is generally pronounced "Moll-bee" in the UK, but should be "Murl-boo". The local news reporters here pronounced former Everton goalkeeper Thomas Myhre's name as "My-rer" for several years before having a stab at the (apparently more authentic) "Moor-er", only to give up in the face of listener complaints and go back to the old way. I don't know about Ole Olsen, but unless you know 100% that it's pronounced a certain way, you might just have encountered someone showing off his knowledge of correct Danish pronounciation. Alternatively, you might have encountered someone showing off his knowledge of another Scandinavian language and assuming that they're all the same.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Pardon me. The one exception. Anyone who could'nt give a f*ck and used an Austin A35 van as daily transport rates highly in my book. That also describes my brother, Ray...... We took his elderly 803cc A30 saloon with a stove-in door to the local breakers to get a non-stove in one only to find that the source would be a much newer 1098cc A35 van with the opposite door stove in. It had just come in and even had some tax left on it. A bit of horse trading and some light spanner work saw us leaving in the van, fitted with the good door off the A30 for remarkably little money. He got several years of good service from the old thing and used to take a workmate, Gordon, sadly no longer with us, to the garage where they both worked. One morning Ray asked Gordon if he could hear a rattle. Cue much merriment "the whole thing is full of rattles" said his passenger. "Yes, but that's a new one" replied Ray.
