Is Nicholas Witchall a real arse licker or what?

[ssd]

its the reverential tone of voice he uses when discussing the royals

urgh!!

[BikeRunSki]

Surely that's part of his job as royal corespondent?

[SauvignonBlanche]

He's awful, isn't he?

[PansBigChainring]

One of the creepiest people on television in the modern era.

[roundtoit]

cannot stand the sychophantic twit

[TheDuchessOfSalford]

Wasn't the Queen overheard describing him as a 'despicable little man' or similar a few years ago, possibly around the Charles/Di divorce?

I have to agree with her. He's so obsequious.

[PansBigChainring]

When the news studio was invaded by purple-spraying feminist types a few years ago he tried to pretend nothing was happening and kicked one of them under the table whilst continuing to read the news.
This doesn't make him a twat in itself. Just a man swiftly able ot work in 'denial' which isn't a good trait. Sure it's on u-tube somewhere.

[AphraBane]

I seem to remember that his nickname at the Beeb is/was 'poisoned carrot'.

[weatherall]

Afaicr it was Charles who said that.

[Hassled]

- 45 seconds in.

[TheDuchessOfSalford]

That's what I was thinking of! I do have some sympathy with him though, reporters really do ask the most inane, ridiculous questions.

[ExcuseTypos]

Oh he always annoys me.

I do think he looks ill though. Or is he just old?

[susiedaisy]

I also dislike him. Don't know why but I just do.

[Animation]

Why is he royal correspondent then if Charles and the Queen don't like him??

[susiedaisy]

I know that's what I thought

[specialsubject]

I get the impression he really, really hates the job. Even a free trip to OZ is only making it slightly less nauseating for him.

didn't he do serious news at some stage?

[KnittingRocks]

I think he must have done something very very bad in his previous role to be given the job of following the royals round the world watching them twat about and pretending to be remotely interested in the whole sorry shower of them.

I suppose they deserve each other !

[Sparklingbrook]

He seems really smarmy and I bet the Royals all hate him. Anybody would be better than him.

Wasn't he a newsreader?

[KnittingRocks]

Yes, he used to read the breakfast news.

[snoggle]

Ah yes, the air of hushed reverence, sounds totally ridiculous when commenting on such vacuous content

[FunkyBoldRibena]

Didn't he used to be a serious broadcaster?
Odious little man.

[bamboostalks]

He's got the job until he retires that's for sure. I think he loathes it and them.

[NationMcKinley]

Both my parents worked for the BBC years ago and his nickname as Aphra said was definitely 'the poisoned carrot'. He has always had a reputation for being a total arse

[Merguez]

Creepy weirdo. And I can't bear the smarmy sycophantic way he reports on that royal baby. As if it is different from any other 9 month old baby.

Who cares if it's about to walk?
