Default Famous TV personalities you DON'T miss.

The woman missing Jeremy "Im more intelligent than you peasant" Paxman got me thinking. Which TV personalities from British Television DON'T you miss? I'll extend this to any British personality that is frequently on telly, so it could be a pop star who turns up every week on TOTP.

Here's my list for a start.

1. Richard and Judy
2. Cliff Richard
3. Jeremy Paxman
4. Anthea Turner
5. Dot Cotton
6. ANY morning TV presenters.
7. Kilroy

Default Re: Famous TV personalities you DON'T miss.

Minor celeb maybe, but CNN reporter Richard Quest (not really him, as such, but his awful, overly-ennuciated, yelling).

CNN in the US is mostly mercifully Quest-free, but he haunts me everywhere when I travel (over the last few years, his voice has grated my nerves in Spain, Japan, Bangkok, and Hong Kong -- is there anywhere on the planet one can avoid him).
