Gardian Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 A bit of fun.Just seen one of my selection in a TV trailer and that prompted me. My candidates:GEORGE CLOONEYIs he an actor, a singer, or just someone who appears in Nespresso ads? Bad surname too.GERMAINE. GREERNot much to say really, other than I really don't understand how she ever became a 'celeb' or what on earth she has to offer. Definite switch-off for me.BILL NIGHYAgain, is he really an actor? Does dead-pan to the extreme.. Waste of time, no talent and doesn't even have Clooney's looks (according to Mrs G).There's plenty more out there!

YCCMB Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 1.Ann Widdecombe. I can't even see that an explanation should be necessary2.The entire cast of "Dad's Army" - on the offchance that maybe then, finally, a week can go by without another re-run. How many more times?3.Piers Morgan. See 1. above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nectarine Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Davina McCall - screechy presenter, now on beauty and hair ads. Those slow-motion swishing-your-hair-about sections made me want to throw a chair through the TV. Bill Nighy - echo earlier comment. That deadpan face worked well in one film ... and now it's just lazy. Act, man, for goodness sake!Vernon Kay - there is something of the sleazy lounge lizard about him. Can't put my finger on it, just creepy.And a billion of those Essex girls and boys with inflated lips, boobies, false hair, fake tans ....Is room 101 big enough for all of my choices?

idun Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I like Bill Nighy. I rewatched Page8 the other night and am looking forward to Turks and Caicos.NH, Room 101 as by the Blair man I quite like........it's in his book 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm a Bill Nighy fan too and I'm looking forward to seeing him with my other hero Christopher Walken in Turks and Caicos, but not until I've seen the last episode of Line of Duty tonight.Please can we add all the bimbo hangers-on of the footballers to the inhabitants of Room 101 ?

idun Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Cardassians in Star Trek and if memory serves in some good episodes. I usually like Star Trek, but Into Darkness, should have simply been left in darkness, in a cupboard somewhere[Www].......... or Room 101 bien sur!

Frecossais Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Candidates for Room 101: Jeremy Clarkson - a buffoon The scriptwriters of Emmerdale - their storylines are see-through and cr*p Kate Winslet - a good actress, but doesn't know what she wants and is a poser I like Bill Nighy too.

Gardian Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'd like to add JAMES NAUGHTIEto my list. Cited for monologue questions on the Today programme and incessent interruptions.Rule of thumb- interviewer / interviewee airtime 20%/ 80%: just listen to him though!

YCCMB Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Which reminds me (and I'd be surprised if many people know who he is, but nevertheless) Gary Crowley. A long-serving second-rung DJ who cannot speak more than two consecutive words without saying "sorta, kinda" or "you know". I switch off or change channels whenever I hear his name. I always thought that in broadcasting, a certain ability to be lucid and articulate was a prerequisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Me too, I have also limited my exposure to the cretin to a couple of transient seconds whilst changing channel.I cannot bear to listen to any French radio station that has presenters or DJ's due to the constant euuhhing, makes them them sound like complete morons and all the more frustrating as I am sure it is just effected speech.Can I add Danny Baker to the queue?

halfblind Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Boris Johnson - put him together with Clarkson they can bore each other to death.Anyone involved with the design of supermarket/Bricomarche packaging requiring the use of a stanley knife to get at the product you bought !
