That is a nice post Loulabelle.

I don't know who you mean who wants names on air ...I haven't noticed that at all. I certainly don't as I am a bit shy and my OH knows my DS name..however, it is not me anyway, so no one would know who I am! But I honestly must be missing sonething as you have referred to this a few times today. I'll not say anything else about it...it is your perogative to not like this forum being mentioned on air of course..I was just a bit surprised at a post or two of yours by the words you used.

However, you are obviously a nice person as you made this post.

Just think of as Lonepiner says. It is just harmless fun, and it is cool that our forum is being mentioned on ITT I think. From what another poster said on here, Claudia seems to get a lot of stick elsewhere, and with the exception of a few of us alot of us here love her..so maybe that is why she checks it out.

My threads are pretty flexible most of the time and if you guys want to talk about Ian with his shirt off or discuss what you would like in a 'tongue in cheek' way, for Claudia to say, that is fine by me!

I think it is just lovely she does take time out to see our POV's and good on her for that..hence this thread.

*hugs Loulabelle*

To get back OT....Thanks Claudia for reading this forum and listening to us fans.

Bohochick you got a mention! Good on ya!

I love Anton too - he's my absolute favourite! His signed photo is looking down at me as I type!

I was so worried about being mentioned after my last post..and he looked so bemused!



Oh well..it's all good fun!

It is all good fun - and you gotta laugh at Anton being speechless for once in his life - you just KNOW he is going to go home and look himself up online

Oooh..I do hope so!!!

Hello Anton!

And hello Claudia - hope you could breathe in that dress today. Ouch. You've been wearing some classy threads this week: keep it up.

Whyowhyowhyowhy is B Cole so oddly alluring? Is he like that in real life, too? He's got a slightly weird face, squeaky voice and cold manner, but... phew, y'know.

Anyway, loving your work. And you have marvellous hair.

Hi Claudia (and Anton if you're browsing!)
Loving your work Claudia - good to see you're keeping the 'dark horse' referrence from FA - are you going to play the music for Mr Gough too?

Not offended me in the slightest, but ta for the apology anyway Quite frankly I'd die on embarrasment if my forum name did get mentioned on air

Would you like to come along on our mission to steal Claudia's shoes BTW

I was obviously having an off day yesterday. Glad that you don't all hate me!

Can't say I've really been paying attention to Claudia's shoes. But anything that's undercover sounds like it might be worth a go.

Looking through the forum today it seems we have lost of lovely new members...which I reckon may be because of Claudia (I mean...I know she doesn't say who we are..but it can't be too hard to find us! )

Lots of new people to talk to and so thanks Claudia and welcome to the forum all newbies here...look forward to having a few debates and laughs with you all!

I agree that Claudia should get more credit as a presenter. This type of show really suits her presentation and interviewing skills. I was lucky enough to meet Claudia on It takes Two last year when I appeared on the show and she is just as she comes across on TV. Lovely, witty and charming. She made us all feel at ease and I think she was also fighting my corner for Julian. I found her to be genuinely lovely and ever so tiny/petite.

Claudia is a fab presenter. Her randomness on ITT makes it all the more enjoyable. I hope her soundbites make a reappearance this year!

I consider Claudia a breath of fresh air in a milieu which is almost always peopled by virtually interchangable female 'personalities' who are so far up themselves they don't waste a single second of smirking-at-the-camera time in listening to the real personality they are allegedly interviewing.
Claudia's 'look' is unique, as is her approach to her presenting .. she keeps it 'real' - and that's why I'd never willingly miss ITT.

Just to add my threeha'pence! I love Claudia almost as much as I love Anton!

ITT is such a great programme, I get very upset when not only SCD finishes its run, but ITT goes too. I think we should have a petition to the Beeb to keep Claudia in this slot all the time. I don't know what she could talk about, but I'm sure between us we can think of some very entertaining subjects!! Any suggestions???

This is a lovely message to post and the reason I have started to reply - even though I've been reading for a few weeks I haven't wanted to interrupt.
I actually started reading because I am a fan of Claudia's as I think she has a genuine enthusiasm for the shows she presents. Oh, and she's gorgeous to boot

Hi Clauia, Loving Your work !

Yup, I joined because of Claudia! She kept mentioning some mysterious 'forums' and I, stupidly, assumed that they were somewhere on the BBC site. I was getting rather worked up and kept asking Claudia - via the television - exactly what forums she was on about

I heart Claudia. She makes me laugh Her enthusiasm is somewhat contagious!
I actually refer to ITT as 'Claudia'. Just because I'm cool (and, you know, strange) like that

i like the way that Claudia puts her little notecards over her head when she gets embarassed - its such a natural reaction - and v funny, its like she cant help it!

I know, it's like tonight she was trying to stop the rain of Patsy's comedy comments from falling on her head. It makes me laugh whenever she does it because that's when you know something's really affected her.

Which forums that then? One I'm a member of?? Sorry - Claudia-bashing on here from me too!!!

I did the same thing Got here in the end, thanks to some fabulous admin on Darren and Lilia's site

Claudia, you're fantastic, especially with Len's Master classes! And the end bit, with your little quote before the clips!

Hi Claudia *waves* can't miss ITT But where are the phone-ins???

Would love to know what Claudia's comment was to Len after he mentioned his "bony knob" on today's ITT...

Gosh thankyou babes!

And it is lovely to see you here I must say.

Welcome to the forums.

Agreed, can't think of anyone who'd do ITT better

Shes brill shes just like one of us and millions of others not stuck up or anything mind her parents must have set a good journalistic example
