What is it with this guy. He makes me reel inside. His presenting style is so awkward and so self aware. I watched it this morning and I lost count of the times I spotted him looking at the monitors of himself. Then whilst talking to Dawn Porter he did the most contrived thing and position his arm to the camera so we could all see his very big expensive watch (a stupid Brietling or something similar). He is certainly very aware of himself on screen and I am baffled as to why he is hired for such prime positioned slots.
He was equally as awkward to the camera when he co-presented Fith Gear.

Who say's he is popular? He is nearly always teamed up with someone else on his shows. Or there are narsacissic people out there who like self aware, awkward, contrived, posey and vain TV presenters.
You are joking. I want him off the TV, please!
I'm sure he has a decent side - he has a wife and kids - it could just be the way he is - but I do agree that he still comes over as loving himself too much.
The contrived way he showed off his expensive watch today was cringeworthy - he then appeared to look at the monitor to see himself. He always appears to not be listening to the guests but rather thinking of what to say next.
Yep ,,,worst quality in a presenter is not to listen to the guests, and he does it all the time. It makes me feel like there is no connection between guest and presenter. I feel really awkward watching him.
I also hate the cheers thing they do when they have a drink with the woman who discusses the wines. Its really really sickly and creepy
Always worth posting this old classic on the chance somebody hasn't seen it.
The perfect deconstruction of Lovejoy by Taylor Parkes
Interesting clip of him flashing his stupid Brietling watch off - Look at the body language and listen to what he is saying - the guy is insecure.
What do they say about a man and the size of his watch?
I agree that he doesn't seem to listen to the guests, it seems like he's not interested in what they have to say. He drones on in his monotonous voice, um-ing and ah-ing. And that braying laugh...arrrgghh!
I haven't seen many of the SB shows, but I sometimes used to watch SFTW and found him frustrating to watch. His delivery isn't smooth and he seems nervy. He doesn't put viewers at ease, he's a terrible presenter and interviewer and doesn't even feign interest at times. He used to be the first one to the food on the cookery section, rather than let the guests go first, then he'd do the links with a mouth full of food. He often used to talk over the gadget girl or didn't listen to what she said and he's been a bit rude to the wine girl. He thinks he's a ladies man, especially with the younger female guests, but the best moment was when one of The Saturdays humiliated him. He thought he was in with a chance and to see his overblown ego deflate was a classic. He's an obnoxious tosser and he loves himself. He makes me sick.
You can always start a Dim Lovejoy appreciation thread
How do you know it's a Brietling watch? Are they instantly recognisable? Are they particularly special?
That review is flawless, thank you!
I like watching cookery shows but I can't stand Lovejoy so I have given up on Sunday Brunch. A shame because I didn't mind Simon Rimmer on Good Food Live.
Ha! That is great! The comments are brilliant too.
He really is an utter t***. So arrogant and so incredibly thick.
He's absolutely fine at what he does.
They are easily recognisable, yes. I don't know about 'special' but they are very, very expensive - £15k plus, some of them. :eek:
Well it's either a Tag Heuer Carrera or a Breitling something or other - can't quite make out - but a plonk like this ain't going to be wearing no Argos watch is he by the way he wants the whole world to see it.
What a shame that he isn't half aware of the guests as he is of his own persona, and how odd that his self awareness goes right out of the window when he elbows guests out of the way in order to shovel large quantities of food into his mouth -knowing that he has to do a piece to camera.
I like cooking shows and I have always liked Simon Rimmer but I find he is fast becoming TL's enabler and Sunday Brunch is fast becoming The Tim Lovejoy show.
Tag Heuer CAR2110.BA0720 Carrera Calibre 1887 Chronograph Automatic Gents Watch - worth about 3k. If you pause the video at the right moment you will see it's distinctive features.
