I do find his voice incredibly sexy!!!! I'm from the west of Scotland and normally cringe when I hear local accents on TV but I could listen to him for hours.

He's got a gorgeous accent, and I find him very likeable and engaging.

Apart from all the mickey taking I've been doing I think his programmes are very interesting and informative and bring the past to life. As a rambler I come across all sorts of stuff in the landscape - such as long barrows and stone circles and now I have some inkling as to their purpose thanks to Mr Oliver.

I agree, he has made history and places very interesting and infomative but sometimes I suspect he trys too hard to outdo the history and the landscape and become the story.
Coast has become defined by a guy with flowing hair and another with a brolly in a rucksack.

Maybe for some members of the public they need hooks (eg Mr Oliver) as a kind of gimmick to get them interested in history and the landscape. I think it enriches peoples lives and takes them out of themselves: out of the daily hum drum etc to think of the past.
