Something for the weekend (merged)

I've had to turn this off - its painful to watch!

Tim Lovejoy looks bored senseless, and is completely ignoring the Eastenders bimbo who's been drafted in to present the show.

I love it when women get jobs based on talent rather than looks or celebrity status. Hmmm.

I've been watching this for an hour, and Tim hasn't spoken or looked at her once! Tim is doing the interviews as if he's presenting solo.

Kellie is pasting on the cheesy fake enthusiasm, but it all looks forced.

    I actually just logged on here because I was wondering whether anybody else was thinking the same as I was. Good God, the woman that's been drafted in is dreadful.

    They usually read some e-mails out at the end of the programme. Would be great if they read out:
    Tim - why do you always look bored stiff and ignore your talentless co-presenter?

    Tim Lovejoy's definitely giving the impression that he's pissed off to even be there.

    I imagine him to be quite an arrogant character to be honest, seems a bit full of himself in my opinion.

    He's often quite rude or disinterested with all of his co presenters particularly the girl who does the technology or 'gadgets' section

    He should think himself bloody lucky, if he doesnt want to work on the programme he could always get himself a job at a 24 hour petrol station, I think his attitude would fit in nicely there...:rolleyes:

    Spent 20 minutes trying to remember who she was. She is rubbish just sits there batting her eyes and pouting her shiny lips. Nor really her fault, why give people jobs they are not qualified to do?

    Funny, I just logged on to see if anyone was commenting on how bad this show has become.

    I cringed when the felmale presenter - apologies I don't know her name - attempted to comment on the new Madness album. She obviously thougtht that chucking the work eclectic in there would make her sound informed. It didn't. I'm surprised she didn't try using seminal for good measure.

    Then his mugging to the camera daughters. Sorry but if they can't do it properly......

    Mabel stole the show!

    No change there from any other week - BBC need to get rid and get new team in - a team that will actually enjoy and be interested in presenting the programme and interviewing the guests = sick of them destroying what could be a good show :mad:

    I'm not surprised Lovejoy looks fed up - the format of the show is exactly the same each week, even down to the segways in and out of links.

    The show is good but they need to shake up the format a bit as it's getting a bit tired, move things around a bit. Other than that, it's almost a guaranteed watch here as there's little else on!

    It's always been crap. Tim Lovejoy is rude and thinks he's hilarious. He makes me cringe because most of his jokes fall flat, or a camerman will laugh to make him feel better. He always seems quite rude to the gadget woman aswell.

    Kellie Shirley has proven to be as bad at presenting as she is at acting.

    A bizarre programme all round, it has to be said.

    Lovejoy has been like that since the show started - someone forgot to tell him he wasn't on Soccer am anymore and that there would be folk who couldn't give a toss about football watching him - he is rude and talentless - and Amanda in just hopeless - I like Simon :)

    Has anyone ever listened to him on the football phone in on Radio 5Live?
    He is exactly the same with the female co-presenter on that show too - Izzy.
    All the other hosts of the show interact with her really well, but Lovejoy all but ignores her - he seems really arrogant to me.

    ye agree about celeb juice above.

    I like it that it is structured coz most of the stuff they show now is awful so on a thursday i look at what they are cooking

    Starter-10:03
    Main-10:30
    Dessert-10:50
    Lazy brunch-11:20
    Cocktails 11:01


    I use to lik ethem showing the real hustle, the guests are pointless and dont bring anything. There is no point having singers if they are not going to perfom.They need to consider who there age range is. I do not care about animals ro stupid things like that. Different features are needed maybe a comedy in the middle

    maybe lovejoy feels self conscious hence why he comes across as an obnoxious ****. I mean all the man seems to know or want to talk about is football!

    If i'm going to watch it I watch it on iPlayer. I usually watch the starter, main, brunch, cocktails and gadgets. I will watch the interviews if they interest me. I skip the rest.


    I'm usually of the opinion that if a person has spent their carreer being an presenter/interviewer then they should take precedence when a gig like this popped up. How cone they always get in a pop star or actress with no presenting skill whatsoever?

    Saying that, Emma Bunton was suprisingly ok.

    Lovejoy is the self-professed No.1 football fan in the world, innit??! :yawn:

    He just comes across as a complete plonker.

    I like Simon, but if I hear another mention of Tim's bluddy non existent dinner parties I will scream

    This week was to have been my last. But i quite like Richard Bacon and Jenny Flaconer so will probably watch next week.
