tv presenters

Yes, he interrupts, and is also often rude to callers who are clearly nervous and unsure how to behave on TV, so have their TV on or noises in the background.

I know he has limited time and sometimes callers go on a bit (saying hello to everyone and so on), but he is often quite disrespectful to people who will probably be being heard by friends and family. To them it is a moment of 'fame', and I think it's unkind of him to behave like that.

I like Kaye Adams as a tv and radio presenter but her talents are wasted on Loose Women.

I like Matt Tebutt on Saturday Kitchen Live. He can talk, cook and interview guests all at the same time. He appears very relaxed on live tv and always brings humour to the show. I think he’s a great all rounder.

Cant stand Jeremy Vine ,he's a rude man and not as informed as he should be on subjects that are up for discussion.Lorraine Kelly comes across as very false to me ,all fake smiles and jollity .I like Alexander Armstrong seems sincere and not egotistical and I love Graham Norton he seems to get the best out of his guests without being intrusive .

I really like Andrea McLean on Loose Women - although I haven't watched the programme for months.

I like Chris Mason political correspondent who has a good sense of fun.

Lise Doucet who fearlessly reports from troubled areas of the world.

Chris Packham for his knowledge and love of wildlife.

Tim someone from Bargain Hunt for his wacky hair, enthusiasm and I do like slim men, including MrNanKate. ?

Turning to chat show hosts, another big thumbs up for Graham Norton from me, I really like him.

Many moons ago, when he was a relatively young man I confess to liking Jonathan Ross I thought he was sharp and witty and then as time went on and he got his own chat show, he increasingly got on my nerves with his salacious comments to his female guests and the fact that he would continually interrupt whoever he was interviewing and talk about himself, his own domestic set up, his children, his animals. I stopped watching him in the end, because I really wanted him to shut up and listen to whoever he was talking to.

I was never a fan of Michael Parkinson either, there was something about the the way he interviewed some women, not all, that I didn't like, I know he's supposed to be the definitive chat show host, but not for me, that would be Graham, but these days I'm not drawn to listening to that genre of programme.

I too like Graham Norton - he is a brilliant host. Does anyone remember him as a catholic priest in Father Ted?
Really don't like Dara O'Briain - I find him really annoying.
Love Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osmon. We have a double dose of Richard when we watch "Pointless" and then turn over and watch "Richard's House of Games".
But the one who makes me turn over the tv the quickest is Janet Street Porter - aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!

I also like the Pointless hosts then Richard Osman's House of Games on bbc2

Lise Doucet who fearlessly reports from troubled areas of the world.

I have a lot of respect for Lise Doucet. I was in the audience of a discussion she led about Syria. It ended with a young exiled Syrian violinist playing the theme from Schindler's List and Lise became very emotional. As did we all.

I really like Simon Reeve, if he is classed as a presenter.

Oh yes Simon Reeve he's another, I like his programmes, they're always interesting and he is a sympathetic presenter.

We've been watching Cornwall with Simon Reeve. As he's unable to go abroad, he's done this. It's very interesting.

I am unsure about what counts as a presenter in the context of this thread, but I like the chap who does the Coast programmes. Neil Someone (Scottish with long hair). I can't bear to watch Tony Robinson in anything other than Blackadder, and I add my vote to the Graham Norton camp (no pun intended!).

Emily Maitliss is excellent, too. I agree with Terribull about Jonathan Ross. What happened to his brother Paul, incidentally? He hasn't been seen for some time, and he used to be onscreen quite often.

Bradley Walsh/Ruth and Eamonn i enjoy.
Loose women get on my nerves.

Do weathermen count? Sean Batty on STV did all the reports from his house and garden during lockdown, and shared star billing with his dog Harris. He also set up a lot of activities for children and got them to send in videos of them measuring rainfall, identifying clouds etc.

ps Doodledog - Neil Oliver

DanniRae the manic Father Noel Furlong in Father Ted! Here’s a compilation...

Doodledog I seem to recall that Paul Ross was involved in some sort of scandal a few years ago which is why he's not on TV now.

Does Fiona Bruce count? I know she reads the news, but also presents Question Time and Antiques Road Show. She may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think she’s very professional, knowledgeable and polite. Yes, she does have to interrupt (especially on Question Time, to bring the panel back to the topic being discussed), but I think she does it well. I cannot abide Vanessa Feltz - she is false and extremely arrogant. Not too keen on Lorraine either - she’s very pleasant, but too much so. Gushing.

I met Lorriane once. She was really nice :-)

Kate1949 Thanks - I don't remember that, but I shall google to satisfy my curiosity .

Alegrias2 That's the one, thanks!

I also like Fiona Bruce. She's maybe a bit Head Girl, but she is professional and calm, which is good when things link like getting out of hand,

Yes, I like Fiona Bruce too. But I can't stand Katie Derham with her so sweet smile. I had to fast forward her when she was on "Strictly".
Isn't it awful how we (me) can so easily take a dislike to someone? I'm ashamed to say that I still dislike Jane Asher (not a presenter I know) because she was Paul MacCartney's girlfriend way back in the 60's and I wanted to be his girlfriend!

I agree about Katie Derham and strickly!

Just watched Loose Men by mistake, but how=much I enjoyed it. Instead of a gaggle of hysterical women, like listening to lot of hens with a fox loose in the hen house, a pleasant group of guys, no shrieking, no poor me how difficult everything is, just discussing news and personal items rationally in good humour. I swear when one Loose woman opens her mouth I can see her feet, they all are a yes person to everyone that comes on, it’s sickening. So for me ditch Loose Women, bring on Loose Men any day.

I like the weatherman Owain too ( BBC1 ) He's a fantastic drummer. Such a pleasant person and presenter.

Dara OBriein is very clever when it comes to the sky at night. I once saw him filming in Australia at their Southern sky and what he knew was outstanding.

DanniRae I feel the same about Patti Boyd because she was George's girlfriend. It should have been me!
