I can't comment on Tim Lovejoy as a sports presenter because I don't watch sport. But he is absolutely terrible on Sunday Brunch. The programme isn't great to start with but would be 100% better without Tim squinting at the auto cue, reading woodenly off cue cards and asking questions so inane they make The One Show look like Newsnight.
Simon Rimmer on the other hand is rather good and very natural.
How do these people get these gigs?

No. I saw todays effort, first time in ages and he is so bad, he's just dreadful.
Astronaut blokey was awesome and to see Dim sitting next to and attempting to be intelligent was beyond cringy.
Astronaut blokey. Was Cmdr Chris Hadfield. He was mesmerising a really magnificent man! I haven't been so impressed by someone appearing on TVvfor many a long year.
Simon, by contrast, is always good fun to watch.
I agree he was amazing to listen to. We never watch this programme and it was by pure accident that we watched today, but Cmdr Hadfield was the only reason we continued to watch, fascinating man .
Not only did he mention them one of them was in the studio
How he has made a living as a TV presenter is one of the great mysteries.
He just comes across as smug, lazy and up himself.
He is all of the above yet as randysback pointed out hes still better than the tess dalysof this world. We normally have this on inthe background but were out today, sorryto miss the astronaut
Its not really what you'd call a ringing endorsement though is it ;-)
That just isn't true is it? Soccer AM was a success as the BBC2 predecessor of The Sunday brunch
Soccer AM wasn't on BBC2!! If you're picking up your grammar skills from Sunday Brunch then enough said.
The girl who presents the drink section is forever having to repeat things because he pays no atttention the first time.
I'm sure it can't be easy to present a live tv show where you need to manage guests and keep to a set time while having a producer talk into your ear-piece, but Simon seems to handle it so much better than Tim.
He was amazing, no wonder the other guests were also enthralled by him.
They're often not only there but make their way to front of camera too.
The BIB drives me mad.
I appreciate that sometimes presenters ask seemingly inane questions just for parts of the audience who will need to know the answer, but at least Tim could do the guests the courtesy of giving them his attention while they're speaking to him.
I think he so often seems like a fish out of water because he can only perform under strict direction whereas Simon and Rebecca can listen and contribute interestingly off the tops of their heads.
The best thing about Tim on a Sunday morning is that he makes even the most hungover and sleepy amongst us feel super intelligent
and he supplies plenty of laughs, even if you're only cringing at him.
Do you mean Something for the Weekend they presented on BBC2 - If it was such a success why was it dropped and they had to go to Channel 4?
1 of his kids was on camera this week.
I agree. "Something for the Weekend" was just about watchable, however Sunday Brunch has propelled him to new levels of smuggery. His hairline is receding at an alarming rate, must be all the head patting he indulges in.
He represents no value at all as a television presenter. He contributes nothing beyond reading out the lines on the auto cue, which any fool can do.
And, as required in any thread that mentions Tim Lovejoy, he's not much of an author either.
Tim represents the utterly bland, the completely unchallenging. He's a chicken on white bread sandwich, a plain sponge cake, The beige painted wall. The fact is they could go for someone with a bit more personality, something about them, but they don't want to. They want someone who is as non-descript as possible, someone who isn't going to ask too much of the hungover Sunday morning crowd. And that's Tim.
Also agree with the Tess Daly non-fans.
This is such a perfect description of the manchild.
Give Sunny side up a try with Mulhern. At least they have a laugh on there.
They both ooze smugness and arrogance - the both of them.
