The Hall of the Vastly Overrated

Bruce Forsyth - sorry, Brucie - I think you are past your use-by date. Retire to the golf course, please.

I just want to say I find Jeremy Paxman sexy too.

Overrated - that is all the men on Top Gear and the programme.

Here here, with Jeremy Clarkson - what exactly does he do, except incite motorists to to mad brain things? which I am sure the youngsters of today follow - just don't get me started!

Love Paxo clever guy bit sexy too but Jeremy Clarkson what is the purpose of that rude man- FETCH ME THE GUN!

Lowrie,Picasso, give me a Constable or Turner any day. Jazz music and Jeremy Paxman.

Damien Hirst

Did he, jingl? Or are you thinking of Jeffrey Archer? Maybe they're both philanderers....woudn't surprise me!

Fiona Bruce looks good, sounds good, knows a good deal about most things...and drives me at break-neck speed round the proverbial bend...

Tracey E of "unmade bed" fame!

Not you Susie! Parkinson himself! He had an affair, didn't he?

Andy Warhol - is it just me who finds his appeal unfathomable?

PS Not sure why I should be feeling guilty about Mary Parkinson

That's guilt speaking - about the lovely Mary Susie.

I don't think so Anagram

I love Jaques Tati and looked forward to see M Hulot's holiday or Mon Oncle each christmas. I recently got the holiday DVD so I can watch it when I want. I always associate it with Wimbledon and the sounds of tennis racquets hitting balls on a summer afternoon.

This is turning into a list of people and things we just don't like, not necessarily what we consider to be overrated!

All the "soaps" (sorry Jings)

Les Miserables -everybody raves about it, but I don't think it has any tunes worth whistling. Also most American so-called "romantic" comedies, anything in 3D, Agatha Christie, Alfred Hitchcock, Jacques Tati, most comedians.

Sorry, missed the last post - yes, perhaps another thread!

I now stand up and confess I love Nicholas Parsons. There I've said it out loud, I will go and hide now.

Yes, Mick Jagger - I have loved him since I was 15 years old!

of course but perhaps we should have another thread for praise of our favourites and leave this one as a place to unload our dislike and I will add in

Michael Parkinson (hugely overrated and doesn't let his interviewees get a word in always banging on about Barnsley and Cricket and as for the lovely Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyone out there we do like?!

Oh mishap I love him, I used to enjoy getting thoroughly miserable along with him in my youth. My vote for Vastly Overrated goes to Stephen Sondheim, I can't understand why a lot of my friends will go million miles to see one of his shows.

I agree with Leonard Cohen and Paul McCartney and would like to add

Nicole Kidman (bland)

Graham Norton (waspish)

Jonathan Ross (ego maniac)

Fiona Bruce (nice but go back to newsreading and stop pouting at the camera)

there are more, many many more!!!!

Hmmm.....I do think that Paul McCartney has real talent. His song-writing skills and ability to create atmosphere in his songs and arrangements are quite extraordinary. But he is indeed getting on now and I guess his performance skills (in every direction!?) will be suffering. But, for my money, they can keep on wheeling him out!

Leonard Cohen is the VOR of my choice - how I hate and detest that man with his pseudo-poetry and absence of musical skills!
