So-called “celebrities” on TV

I feel I have failed at life

When a person is tired of London, they are tired of life!

Time for a trip there (but not in the school holidays!).

One advantage of moving in with DD for seven months the year before last was that I was able to ‘do’ London at a leisurely pace. Great not having to cram too many things into one exhausting day or fork out on accommodation.

Now I’m one step ahead of whichever celeb draws Hampshire out of the hat.

I meant to put Cornwall 😲
In fact, I'm sure I typed Cornwall - that's supposed to be a Cornish flag although it looks pink and black to me.

John Nettles does Devon & Cornwall well. But then he was born and raised here and has those long vowel sounds.

^why can’t ordinary kids without famous fathers get a chance
Surely there are many up and coming people (actors, stage school etc) WITH talent who really need a break^

Yes a thousand times!

Bradley Walsh's son was even in The Larkins with his Dad although there won't be another series.

Bradley Walsh was asked about this on some show or another last week he said that there wouldn’t be a series this year as he didn’t have enough free time, he was hopeful for 2024.

Yes, he does.

Thanks, GrannyGravy, I thought it had just not been commissioned again.

I havent done Cornwall

It’s overrated. :runs away from irate Gransnetters:

I’ve been to Cornwall at least twice, maybe more often, and I just don’t feel the love. Somerset is more my style, Exmoor and the Quantocks. It’s a good thing we don’t all like the same places - they’d been even more crowded than usual!

As for celebrities, I’m not sure what the definition of one is, plus I seem to have given up watching tv of late and don’t know the latest names. Are actors and musicians also celebrities? What about weather forecasters? People who appear in adverts?

😲😲😲

It is overcrowded and has too many second homers!
Runs away from irate Gransnetters!

I do feel the love still, though 😄

Is Cornwall a celebrity? If so, it’s the first and last celeb I like.

Your question made me smile maw and frankly has fuelled my existing anti light entertainment prejudice. Awful stuff, light entertainment.

Volver, but many of them are not celebrities, Celebrities are people who the bulk of the population will have heard off, and so many of the 'celebrities' on these programmes, you would be hard pressed to find more than a handful of people who actually know who they are.

I hadnt really thought about it op.
But there again, I rarely watch those types of programmes anyway.
I think if say you are contracted by ITV, you are an ITV person so to speak and they can use the celeb across any of their programmes? Could be wrong.

I thought "Really?" when I saw Fern Britton was doing Cornwall. but, in spite of living in Cornwall for 25 years, she came up with all sorts of interesting facts that I didn't know. In the end I was sorry she only did three programmes.

I'm enjoying Alan and Amanda in Sicily. I'm not keen on either of them but who could resist Sicily?

Awful stuff, light entertainment

😄 I do like WILTY sometimes.
Especially when Chris McCausland is on.
And I like Lee Mack, David Mitchell's OK too.
