Over-exposed

Clair Balding in a programme tonight about ~Emily Davidson the Suffragette who threw herself under the King's Horse - see what I mean? It doesn't matter if you like them or not it's just she, at the moment, is on everything - or it seems she is. After all this constant Clare Balding programmes, she will then be dropped like a stone just like Carol Vorderman and others who end up doing silly adverts in desperation. This goes for male celebs such as Alan Titmouse and Stephen Fry as I say in my opening thread.

Liam comes to our annual racing meet up. He is the dearest lad you could meet and I get really upset when he falls off a horse. His teeth are still in pristine condition .

Caroline Quentin irritates me also.Didn't like her India or Cornwall programmes .I switchoff/over when I hear her voice.Now she's doing National Parks -no thank you.

The BBC still use her for her radio walks; you want to get out there and walk too! She's so enthusiastic and interviews so gently but well

Anno that's my feeling too.

I saw that interview, she said he could now afford to get his teeth fixed,he did have blinkin awful teeth and she caused an 'outrage' he was innundated with free offers. Funny.She must have the same contract for C4 she had for bbc, just the big meets. I love her shiny enthusiasm, its infectious.

That's interesting because one of the reasons Ch4 took her on was to get more people interested in racing [although she isn't on it very often]. My favourite jockey, Liam Treadwell has got Clare to thank for his new teeth.

I think Clare Balding is a fantastic presenter. She was the best on lympics and paralympics.I like the fact she does her homework and is soo knowledgable about all horse sports.I started watching racing because she made it so interesting.I don't rate her as a great interviewer but presenter yes.

I'm sensing a grudging attitude to anyone, especially any woman who has 'made it'. I admire Clare Balding who seems to be able to comment on any sport because she does her research thoroughly. Her anchoring of the Paralympics broadcasts was a prime example of her professionalism.

Clare had a torrid time when the BBC didn't renew her contract and she had to become freelance, but then that's when she branched out into lots of other things.

I like Clare Balding, she comes across as very down to earth. My mother would love this topic as she doesn't like ANYONE on TV.

I watch anything and everything about Cornwall because I used to live there and I love the place, but I watched the first programme she made about Cornwall and never watched it again. As for Clare, I've always felt that she's someone I could sit in a pub with and have a jolly good natter [which is probably the secret of being a god television presenter]. As I've said before, I had a lovely letter from her years ago when she first started presenting the racing on the BBC and she thanked me for thanking her for presenting what had been a very difficult programme that day; what came across was how grateful she was for the input as to how well she was doing her job, as if, right from the start all she wanted to do was perfect her craft.

I can put up with an awful lot of Clare Balding, she's someone I feel I would really like if I met her (and I loved her book) I used to like Caroline Quentin, but then she did her dreadful series about Cornwall with all the awful people in boutique hotels and second home owners playing at being Cornish (Bitter? Moi?)

And there is, of course, Cheryl Cole...Have to agree about Clare Balding. I've been a fan of hers ever since we used to chat to her at Uttoxeter Races and, being a racing fan I've followed her career for years. But I am getting tired of seeing her popping up all over the place. Having said that, unlike the obvious cases of people doing chat shows [anyone remember the short lived Nigella Lawson one?] whatever Clare turns her hand to she is brilliant at it [just hope she doesn't do a chat show].

Oh yes, anno, I remember that! She had the most appalling accent - worse than Daphne's!

Kim Kardashian. Who is she? Actually I don't care, can someone just make her go away please!

I last saw Millicent Martin as Daphne's mother in a late episode of Frasier.

Mylene Klass is another who pops up in all sorts of things.
I remember back in the 60s that every time we switched the TV on, there was Millicent Martin, went on for ages, then suddenly, she wasn`t seen anymore.

I like Claire Balding, and the radio 4 programme being advertised was Ramblings, which she has done for some time now, I love it and it suits her character, I can recommend it, I record the series on my TV. I'd rather have her than Julia Bradbury , who is another one who keeps popping up. She was on The Apprentice last night, and came across really badly on 'Come Dine With Me' a while back.

Nicki Chapman. Bad enough on Escape to the Country and Wanted Down Under, but at the Chelsea Flower she just has to be fast-forwarded.

And that is my point Tegan with overexposure. Forgetting about Carols Vorderman and Smillie as we saw them in everything we got fed up so lets overexpose the next flavour of the month. Just listening to Radio 4 - and an ad for a programme with blooming Clair Balding - again.

I'd forgotten about Carol Smilie.

At one time it used to be Carol Vorderman & Carol Smillie on everything

Have a soft spot for John Suchet, Gally Lovely man.

Oh yes! Caroline Quentin is too gushy by half - she drives me mad. I quite like Fiona Bruce but can't seem to take my eyes off her eyebrows for some reason . Do you remember Angela Rippon on Ernie and Wise - that was the start of newsreaders 'breaking-out'. I think Kenneth Kendall left the news desk and went on to greater(?) things too as did John Suchet - they're all at it!
