Ferne cotton - I'm sorry but she's awful.

Anyone else you can't stand ?

BakedTattie · 06/08/2023 14:13

naga munchety and her presenting partner charlie. They constantly interrupt people they’re interviewing, are aggressive, dismissive and petty.

whynotwhatknot · 06/08/2023 17:50

Not a fan of tess daly either

she was actually better as bruces sidekick shes so false now it grates on me

Vitriolinsanity · 06/08/2023 18:14

Tess Daly has had years and years to practice and is still either obviously reading the autocue or squealing "they're on their feeeeeeeet"

Who the hell is Richie Anderson shagging that he's everywhere and soooooo shit?

TootenCarMoon · 06/08/2023 18:27

Richie Anderson. He’s sooo desperate to be a ‘sleb it’s embarrassing.

Adil Ray. Stop laughing at your own jokes, they aren’t funny. How Kate Garraway hasn’t poured cold tea over him is a miracle. The woman is a bloody hero.

ErniesGhostlyGoldTops · 06/08/2023 18:30

Can't stand Kate Humble and Tony Robinson makes me want to scream as he knows nothing about anything and just screams at the camera. Thankfully the time he seemed to be on everything seems to have gone.

Dara O'Briain too. Al he says is Wow! Nauseating.

Oh my god, Shaun Keaveney.

Professional northerner, professional grumpy man. I loathed his 6 music breakfast show. He clearly hated doing it. If it's so fucking awful do something else you graceless whinging twat.

He’s ace and VERY much missed.

RicksTheHunk · 06/08/2023 18:41

Have to agree with rev Kate Botley, she does wind me up. Dunno why.

I also don't like Sangita Myska's presenting style because she leaves so many pauses. Some times they are so long I think the radio has malfunctioned.

I really enjoyed the Empire podcast she did though.

Anita Anand did the Empire podcast…

Agree with -
Holly Willoughby - cannot watch her
Richie Anderson - overly promoted and has no discernible talent
Naga Munchetty - arrogant- never forgotten her cringeworthy appearance on Sat Kitchen -
Scott Mills- totally boring
Zoe Ball - tries too hard
Sara Cox - used to like but now sounds like she cba
Richard Madelely aka Alan Partridge
Alex Scott
Rochelle Hulme - wooden
Tim Lovejoy

Miquita Oliver

Like -
Liza Tarbuck
Claudia Winkleman
Sue Barker - gutted she’s left Wimbledon
Rick Stein - intelligent
Matt Tebbutt

Anyone who was a comedian who now gets fancy travel jobs - Rob Becket etc

Ant and Dec - just inane

Any footballer who presents a commentary show

Paddy McGuiness

PrinceHaz · 06/08/2023 21:58

Has anyone noticed that every single traffic presenter says ‘jinction’ for junction? Really annoys me.

Willmafrockfit · 06/08/2023 22:07

i was annoyed that Clare Balding was presenting the tennis.

BasiliskStare · 06/08/2023 22:18

Greg Wallace 😂 Not sure if I said that

Marmalade71 · 06/08/2023 22:42

Hate:
Gregg Wallace - no explanation needed
Chris Evans - neanderthal in the 90s, has not improved
James O'brien - vile bully to anyone of his callers who he disagrees with. Hate most Vox pops for this reason but he is the worst
Micah Richards - not incisive, not funny, seems to be everywhere football related and is seriously annoying.

Love:
Mark Chapman - God of sports broadcasting, 1000x better than Lineker
Jane and Fi on Times Radio - BBC should be ashamed they lost them.
Iain Dale - still not a fan of the vox stuff but he's much warmer than most broadcasters who interact with the public. Great pod with Jacqui Smith too
Rylan - never fails to improve my mood

BasiliskStare · 07/08/2023 01:07

@Marmalade71 . 😀

May I just add one more time - Gregg Wallace . Even I could shout "30 seconds " and dig into a plate of food and I am not a TV presenter.

The man is unappealing and untalented in my opinion. But others may differ.

Unfortunately, Gregg ruins everything he's on.

I would have liked to watch more of the factory series, they were really interesting but shouty Wallace had me switching over. I probably could have muted the sound and just have subtitles on but in my head, I know I would still hear him shouting all the time.

BasiliskStare · 07/08/2023 12:35

@Coastalcreeksider 😊💐 A woman after my own heart . He must be popular with some or he's got something on someone ( that is a joke but ....)

I think he spoils things and watch eg Master Chef despite him not because of him. At least he treats the women contestants better now because I did once complain to the BBC about that. ( My opinion only )

Oh good for you Basilisk 😀 maybe more of us should complain about the shoutyness and they could maybe get him to lower the decibel level.

Yes to Kate Bottley. Hides behind the dog collar to say what she thinks is cheeky or shocking as 'entertainment'. Total one trick pony.

Also, nothing against Oti Mabuse and she's a fab dancer but this does not equate to having a talent to carry your own morning show.

God yes. Oti and her sister

BBC tend to do that - find someone they think is popular then ram them down our throats

Oti
AJ Odudu
Richie "jinction" Anderson

Lorraine Kelly
She's admitted her TV persona is fake...

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 07/08/2023 15:42

Sara.cox and her awful childish show. Fank oo vay much. Ma wife. And that wiwowowow and foghorn noise.

The newsreader Justine green. Or should that be justeeeeeen greeeeeen. She sounds as if someone is choking her. And Justine, love, it's pOlice. That's an O in there.

And I have to switch off Dr Moist mouth Sarah Jarvis

Oh god yes Sarah Jarvis and her mouth noise 🤢

BasiliskStare · 07/08/2023 15:51

@Amispringy - I can see that AJ is a beautiful enthusiastic you woman - but Oh her voice - it is not the accent it that she shouts.

& I agree the BBC tends to find someone & just hang on to them . Personally if I never saw AJ on the TV again I would not mind but I suppose I am not her target audience ( ie a bit old not yet needing deaf aids I could turn off )
