Tonight’s University Challenge - shock horror, Jeremy Paxman is sporting floppy locks à la Robert Peston.

Whoever told him that was a good look?

Lucca shall we share him- I can cut hair.

I've just seen a photo and my first thought was It' s joke.
It looks so much like a wig.

I like a man with brains!

I like a man with enough brains to know when he looks daft!
Mind you, that rules out a fair few.

I like a man with brains too, and a good haircut and a handsome face ( rules out Paxo)

Fringes for men are fashionable at the moment - eg HRVY on Strictly - but mainly young men.

Which reminds me, DH needs a haircut. He hasn't got as much as Paxo.
He's offered to trim mine - should I be worried?
It couldn't look much worse, I know I should have chosen a better bowl.

Lucca it rules out a lot of men!

I think he looks very good in a mad professor way.

Puzzler61 Tue 27-Oct-20 17:01:49

What, like Doc Brown garnet ? (Back to the Future)? ?

My boss was the mad professor type and nothing like Paxo
who is much more neat and tidy.
Wild hair, beard, socks and sandals, always untidy.
A lovely man.

Whilst not being a Jeremy fan, I can't understand the unkind comments about his hair. He is old and has a head full of now white locks. He does not look wild and unkempt as if he doesn't dare how he looks, he's smart and well turned out as if he has bothered. I hope he continues to wear his hair how he wants. I object to panellists on other quizzes who look as if they haven't washed and just fallen out of bed in whatever clothes come to hand and act as if the whole thing is a bit of a bind, I switch over as they are depressing to look at.

And bye the way, you can't do much about not being conventionally handsome unless you go down the cosmetic surgery route. Be who you are and proud of it.
