Re: Famous TV personalities you DON'T miss.
Some interesting choices here! Des O Connor (he is just way too smug, is not funny) Anthea Turner, Les Dennis, Russell Grant, Chris Evans, The Beckams.
I actually like Jeromy Clarkson (its refreshing to find somone who tells it as it is). I am also a big fan of Chris Tarrant (now retired from Capital FM). I would like to see Jamie Oliver on a cooking show with Martha, it would be real interesting to see how they interacted as there "styles" are somewhat different!!

Re: Famous TV personalities you DON'T miss.
1) Carol Vorderman.
I have never, ever seen more than about 20 seconds of 'Countdown'.
2) Cherie Blair.
3) That male presenter on 'Crimewatch UK' with the heavily lacquered hair - I can't remember his name. It's a good programme though, riveting viewing.
4) The first time my husband spotted David Dickinson from 'Bargain Hunt' on BBC America (who to me seems to be a cross between Dale Winton and Ian McShane from 'Lovejoy') he said "that man looks like a pervert".
Going slightly off-topic, I'm shocked about the allegations about Jimmy Saville....yikes, just think of all those kids he must have encountered on "Jim'll Fix It" :scared: Apparently that other paedophile Gary Glitter (Paul Gadd) is still living out in Cambodia after being deported from Cuba.....

2. Cliff Richard
3. Jeremy Paxman
4. Anthea Turner
5. Dot Cotton

He only ever became famous because Britain seemed to go through a phase where camp as hell was cool. Didn’t he change that God awful abomination Supermarket Sweep to Dales Supermarket Sweep or something?
Yes that twat Paul Daniels can get on our luxury one way rocket to the moon as well. Anyone remember when the Tory ****** said something like "I'm leaving the country if Labour get into power"? And a TV show, (I'm thinking it was Chris Evans) sent round a bunch of removal vans the day Labour won the election

Re: Famous TV personalities you DON'T miss.
I have to add something to this topic, especially as nobody as mentioned the couple of talentless media whores who like to be known as Ant & Dec. These two having been living off the fact that they were in Biker Grove about 10 years ago ever since. They've also managed to do something incredible by making Noel's House Party actually look quite good in comparison to their god-awful Saturday night show.
