Most disliked TV personalities,.What are the TV personalities you would most like to retire gracefully?
My own choices are:-
Terry Wogan. Cannot stand his condescending voice or his inane humour.
Angela Rippon. Cannot stand her voice or her silly full face grin, and her inncessant drivel when trying to show she knows what she is talking about.
There has to be many others, but these two make me squirm!

I think Fiona Phillips should retire, glad she's leaving GMTV at Christmas but please do not think of doing anything else.
Also the Dimbleby's should retired can't stand either of them.

I'd like to add another-
Paul O' Grady. What a diddyman/woman!
I've never enjoyed him/her with his obviously scripted humorous comments and I've always thought his dugs were more interesting, although only just.
Can any other plonker other than himself get a job on TV, and then get paid for being a pain in the erse?
Maybe I should apply, if that's the case.
PS. Fiona is a Babe! Silly, scatterbrained maybe, but nonetheless still a bit of a babe.
To me anyway.

I don't really watch Paul O Grady, not too keen on him, as a presenter.
I thought he was quite funny, as Lily Savage though.

Fiona may be a bit of a babe, although deffo not my cup o' tea. She makes me cringe with her mock sincerity and her air head comments. Now Kate Garroway should take over as lead presenter. Unfortunately Fiona's husband is only editor in chief of GMTV so perhaps Kate will be bypassed as its a well known fact Fiona hates her.

Ricky Gervais, gets all this credit, for writing a brilliant comedy.
The Office, it was mean't to be a really original idea.
Craparoo folks.
Does anyone remember a comedy, called "Operation Good Guys"?
It was filmed exactly the same way, and set in a police station.
The officer in charge, was exactly the same kind of bloke, as David Brent.
This was a few years before "The Office" was made.
Look for "Operation Good Guys" on you tube, or google it.
If you never seen it, you'll get an idea, of what I'm saying.
If you remember it, you can also, like me, call Ricky Gervais a fake.

Well I am sorry if I upset the Dusty fans. I didn't mean to diss her, she was brill I just didn't appreciate her music while alive. I do now and have some. As a bairn though I prefered Petula to Dusty and so I didn't like any other female singer you see.
However having grown up and been to a fair few Petula concerts it would seem that Petula's own favourite singer was indeed Dusty so I stand corrected.
Petula recently received an incomplete recording of Dusty from 1974 and got permision to do a "Duet" with her. The result is a song called "Corner of the sky".

Dusty was indeed a great singer during the 60's and was something of an up and coming cult figure, later on however though rumours started flying around that she was often seen around with other members of her own sex and never around with other men. Very similar to Cliff Richard in reverse.
Okay these days, but not then, so her following dwindled.
'Pet' in my mind was a bit too sugary, although she was accepted as a good singer generally.
Musical talents as with politicians, do not stand the test of time, much like football goalkeeper's who are only remembered for their last 'save'.
|
Lord Blackadder

Dusty Springfield was a HUGE icon in gay circles. But who cares ... she was a great singer with a belter of a voice. My late father had her entire discography on vinyl! And it's all unmarked. I'm sitting on a fortune here!!! 
My mother was the "Pet" fan. Although I did hear her call the old bird (as she is now) "Peculiar" at least once.
Frankly, I always get mixed up between Petula and Julie Andrews!!! 
|
rickyross3359
|
No the only comparison between Petula Clark and Julie Andrews was that they both entertained the troops during WW2 as bairns. Petula may have given the impression during the 50's that she was sugery as she had a hill to climb to prove that she was more than just a child star. Loads of her stuff disprove the sugery bit. In America and in France she didn't have the baggage of her childhood past and she did go on to sell over 70 million records.

According to Wikipedia, Xcotters ... it was Kaye Adams.
I had to look it up since I don't know anything about this daytime show ... though I have heard of it before.
Here's what Wikipedia says ...
The panel comprises four women from various professions in the entertainment and journalism industries, including actresses, singers, authors, presenters and reporters. Although all four women are classed as presenters in the credits, one acts as the main anchor, linking to breaks and competitions and addressing the television audience.
Kaye Adams and Nadia Sawalha were the original anchors, and Adams held on to role for the first ten series until the end of 2006, when she left to go on maternity leave. Adams was expected to return for a new series, but in August 2007 she confirmed in her newspaper column that after 7 years, she decided that she wanted to move on to other projects and would not be returning.
Occasionally regular panelists such as Carol McGiffin and Denise Welch assume the position of anchor and there have been guest hosts, such as Carole Malone and Ruth Langsford. However, since 2007, the job has been mainly shared by Jackie Brambles and Andrea McLean who alternate throughout the week. The panelists also alternate throughout the week, with three of them appearing on each show.
Hope that helps!!!
