Which "National Treasure" do you not like so much?

[SereneGoose]

Sandi Toksvig...I mean she's ok..but personally she itches my tits.

Yes, Stephen Fry. He's the stupid person's idea of a clever person: presumably because he's well-spoken. The number of times he's just plain wrong.

He is fine as Melchett though.

😯

I agree. She annoys me as well although dh finds her entertaining.

Many mentioned on here I agree with but want to add St. Kylie Minogue of the Gold Hotpants. Not buying her cutsie humble image.

Same here. Just annoying.

Okay...not going to be popular but binged Clarksons Farm last night...,Kaleb Cooper. I think he is rude, ungrateful, obnoxious. Haven't met anyone yet who doesn't think he is the best thing on the show.

Hard agree. She is certainly very unpopular in the Aldershot area in particular after her campaign for the Gurkhas

Kate Winslet.
Maureen Lipman.
Peter Kay.
Billy Connolly.
Emma Thompson.
Kenneth Branagh, no you are not Laurence Olivier.
I never liked Sean Connery.

I don’t dislike David Attenborough, but I find his programmes incredibly boring.

The thread is about NTs, and a lot of musicians are indeed NTs.

Which musicians of big age are hitting the notes? Not Paul Mc, not Cliff, not Rod. I saw an American lady singer over here a few years back and she was dreadful. Could barely walk, could barely sing, but the cost of the night was too much for what it was.

To keep going on tour, charging hair-raising prices and barely moving whilst squeaking out the wrong notes is a No-no. So many were brilliant in their day, but at 80+ they are not the same at all. They couldn’t possibly be. Certain ones are just a shadow of what they were. Hair dye and silly costumes can’t cover everything up!

If it is ageist to say what you see and hear, then ok. I’m mid 60s and I’m certainly not what I was 20, 30, 40 years ago.

Yet another professional Scouser.

He was coined a “Champagne Socialist” by a newspaper many years ago, for wearing a full length real fur coat🤮 and having a white Rolls-Royce whilst droning on about poverty and peace. Didn’t do anything much for either. Treated his poor first wife horribly, and was generally unpleasant. Yuk.

Absolute waste of oxygen, but no one thinks she's a national treasure!

I agree. I have the total cringe every year when I see her at the Cenotaph. Dressing up box is right. And her hair is fucking dreadful

I’ve gone off Tom Hanks since he absolutely PROMISED me that Trump wouldn’t get in the first time.

Miriam Margoyles. Tedious as fuck and crude with it.
Elton John. Never forgiven him for telling a journalist he hopes she ‘gets cancer of the cunt’
Sandi Toksvig. No particular animosity to her, just don’t enjoy watching her on screen.

Jonathan Ross
Stephen Fry

I though parkinson was creepy even as a child

Lulu
Nigella Lawson - no i wont be watching Bake off

Also not keen on Joanna Lumley, apart from when she is Acting. but when she is narrating, i dont like her

absolutely
Giles Brandrith
always being wheeled out

her radio 2 show
last time i happened upon it she closed the show with her own song! I know him so well, i think it was called.
what a big head!
also gone off Sally Traffic, too much laughter

Adding to my list, now I’ve read the thread:

Grayson Perry - creepy fetishist
David Tennant - for his trans / women views

Stephen Graham and Mark Gatiss definitely don’t belong on the list. I like Jonathan Ross, I can quite see how others find him objectionable though.

She refused to speak to them. Said they were beneath her

i can't believe she actually said that

I agree about Elaine Paige, especially playing her own music on her show.
Last time I said this I was told that it was her show so why wouldn't she?
I've never heard Michael Ball play his own songs once in all the years I've listened to him.

David Attenborough - I just find his programmes so boring.

Ant and Dec - still wondering what their talent is.

I found Bruce Forsyth a show off.

Definitely agree that singers shouldn't keep going once they're past their best. It's just embarrassing.

He’s not liked so much anymore, you’re right. At one stage he was held up as some sort of great thinker and voice of reason
