Intercity125 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If his rudeness started with his paycut there might be something in that but he's been rude , aggressive and full of his own self importance for years. You might have a point there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Anybody remember that absolute frantic inanity called 'In Da Bungalow' hosted by Dick and Dom who were even more despicable than Ant and Dec which was a children's show on BBC which was just fine for kids until the idiots to be had the nerve to throw Dick and Dom in your face by airing it later at 6pm in case adults would like see to those two mega annoying idiots ruin your day ? Imagine, hubby just home from a hard days work to be greeted by his wife " Hello darling, you're just in time to see Dick and Dom in 'In Da Bungalow' !! Allan.

60159 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I admire Laura Kuenssberg - very able, very professional and does not deserve the terrible bad mouthing she gets. Don't share the dislike of poor Tomasz Schafernaker - human with a good twinkle in his eye. A cult hero! Also enjoy Jon Sopel with his very obvious contempt for Trump Dislike very few, but Chris Evans usually has me switching off along with Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell Julia Bradbury doesn't do it for me (but then I'm certain I don't do it for her!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatofludham Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) My personal Top 10 TV presenters 7. Stewart White Blimey is Chalky White still telling Norfolk and Suffolk about the latest cat up a tree emergency from Norwich Library? Used to be a continuity announcer with Central in Birmingham before teaming up with Suzy Totty-Wotty in Norwich. Talking superannuated local TV presenters I was amazed to see Bob Warman still presents ITV Central News from their Broad Street broom cupboard, I thought he would be dead by now given he began life with ATV. Mind you he definitely was showing his age in HD. Edited January 31, 2018 by wombatofludham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon s Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Almost all football pundits, who, apart from loving the sound of their own voices, think that football results are somehow really important and therefore have to be shouted at the poor deluded viewers of the so called sport (it's not, it's just a business). Best description of this by Bill Bailey: Tinselworm https://watch4hd.com/movie/bill-bailey-tinselworm/ about 6 mins in, but it's worth watching the whole thing!

Imagine, hubby just home from a hard days work to be greeted by his wife " Hello darling, you're just in time to see Dick and Dom in 'In Da Bungalow' !! Allan. I thought it was hilarious. Inane and childish, but I like a bit of that. Strangely I can't stand the top gear/ grand tour bunch (May on his own is a different matter, I don't mind him), and they are also inane and childish. Richard Ayoade is really good, though he's more of an actor so I don't know how much is actually him... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert17649 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) C.Balding who is in my view overexposed over opinionated and overly prone to"knowledgeable" comment about things she clearly knows very little about (Allegedly). Too much of her chatting whilst stuff is clearly going on at the event behind her. Edited January 31, 2018 by robert17649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Interesting, I used BING, and this was the first to come up without any warnings, I watched it last night with no problem. Just tried again to be sure. Clicking on the link does take you to the Bill Bailey page, but then clicking on play, takes you to a whole set of parallel pages which have nothing to do with the site. The first time it brought up all kinds of virus warnings similar to ransom ware, so I closed it down. Tried again a few minutes ago and again, each time I pressed play it brought up a different set of pages. Closing that parallel page down, does take you to the Bill Bailey video. As I said, just tread carefully, because you have no idea what's running in the background from these parallel pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Lamb Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have come across a few of them in the real world and in general find them rather boring. However Bill Hamilton the former BBC reporter recently gave a talk at our local U3A and he had every one in stitches at his jokes and enthralled by his behind the scenes stories. I came away with a very different perspective on a couple of well known historical events. His jokes were as good as any comic could produce. I posted one on here and it got about a dozen likes. Nick Crane was a member of a cycling club I belonged to at one time and off air he could tell a good tale, as well as being a decent chap. However on Coast I find him a bit cringe worthy at times.

RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted January 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2018 Plenty of good people mentioned so far on this thread but another I like is Guy Martin. For me he lets the subject of his programs dominate a bit like David Attenborough (compared to some other presenters whose egos seem to overpower and be central to the program) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Ah, Bill Hamilton, a former neighbour and friend - nice guy. He was maybe 6 years older than me but as a great football enthusiast, kindly took me as a youngster to alternately Dundee and Dundee United games on a Saturday afternoon (the grounds were within easy walking distance and fixtures were such that two teams were rarely at home on the same day), that is until my maternal grandfather found out and took me to Dundee reserves games on some alternate Saturdays. Bill became the youngest ever football referee in Scotland at the time aged 14. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard I think it's always worth keeping in mind that famous people have a public face and a private face and that whether or not they're deeply irritating on TV, radio or film shouldn't be taken as signifying the same about their private persona. Politicians are the same, many of them seem completely different people in private and whether or not I like their politics most of them seem to be intelligent and well intentioned people.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted January 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hate- keith Lemon, Piers Moron, Chris Evans, Noel Fielding. Like- quite a few too many to list!

RMweb Premium MJI Posted January 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2018 Forgot to mention James May - I really enjoy his hands on approach to the subjects he's enthusiastic and knowlegeable about, either in or out of Top Gear. He owns a P6 so he must be alright! On the fence and tipping over into urine boiling annoyance- Charlie Stait and Naga Munchetti on the Beeb - sometimes I find them both so patronising and condescending, to the point of utter loathing. I mentioned him. Other two are good, but James is just a good TV presenter. That said the Brunel programme by Jeremy was excellent, as were his war documentries. Sorry Richard you are just that little bit loud. But I did subscribe to Amazon for these 3. Is it my imagination or has no-one mentioned this creature yet? Don't know anything about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MJI Posted January 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2018 Not a presenter as such but I cannot stand the media's go to guy for a 'Railway Expert' that is Christian Wolmar.... He has been like it since Rail Enthusiast changed name and market placement and got him in. Went from favourite magazine to boring over about a year.

RMweb Premium MJI Posted January 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2018 My personal Top 10 TV presenters I cannot stand: 1. Tomasz Schafernaker 2. Jeremy Vine 3. Piers Morgan 4. James Corden 5. Jeremy Kyle 6. Ant and Dec 7. Kirstie Allsopp 8. Holloby Willoughby 9. Tomasz Schafernaker 10. Kay Burley And in the interests of fairness here are my Top 10 presenters I respect: 1. David Attenborough 2. Julia Bradbury 3. John Craven 4. Dara O'Brain 5. James May 6. Robert Winston 7. Stewart White 8. Peter Snow 9. Dan Snow 10. Dick Strawbridge Some I know little of, but the amount of likes David Attenborough gets is good. Almost all football pundits, who, apart from loving the sound of their own voices, think that football results are somehow really important and therefore have to be shouted at the poor deluded viewers of the so called sport (it's not, it's just a business).
