What are your thoughts on TV Presenter habits?

It winds loads of people up Many people complain about one presenter who can touch her hair a lot and sometimes talk over guests that are interviewed which is very annoying for the guests. Does this even happen even if it's say a childhood hero or something. People hate it when that happens. Another presenter rubs her cheek which seems quite weird as a habit of a presenter. She actually works in radio but the interviews are put out as videos on the stations app on YouTube channel. I wonder if presenters with habits go back and watch the interview videos on YouTube to notice they've been doing it or do they actually know themselves if it's been done.

How can we comment if we don’t know who you are even talking about?

They won't be named. Just share your thought anyway

Who are the people complaining about the habits? Why are they watching if she annoys them? How can we know if she acts differently with some guests if we don’t know who she is?

Ohh how very mysterious! 🤣👀

Richard Madeley really pisses me off because he turns everything into something about him/his family, and treats us all to long-winded boring anecdotes, when all I want to do is hear from the guest he's supposed to be interviewing.

Never crosses my mind, I listen, or not, to what they are saying if I am interested and that's it. I don't study their every move and sometimes it's necessary to talk over guests, particularly politicians or you just get what they want to tell you not what the interviewer actually asked!

Vote with your feet if you don't like them don't watch or listen to them.

You might be amazed to know this but I guarantee that no TV presenter gives a shiny shit what some random person on MN thinks of them so there’s no reason not to name them 🙄

I think this is a YOU problem @MyPithyCat 😂No-one else is seeing it.
