I'm attending a wedding at the weekend. I'm pretty excited as it will be the first opportunity to wear my selly telly special 'collectors' watch. My Cannon & Ball diver's watch (rated to 18 inches) has a sliver of seabed rock embedded in a special viewing port at the back. It's a fabulous hand...

When ego comes first.

Peter Simon selling Bra's. IW is back!

I also saw Shona and some female presenter I don't recognise presenting from the sofa fighting for voice time. Just Imagine if IW brought MM and PS back then sat them on the sofa together for a few hours?!?!

I saw Foghorn Sally Jacks the other day. I actually had to turn the volume down.

Just my opinion but, as a 'genre', selly telly has suffered since the demise of IW. The US based/rolling VT presentations just aren't as entertaining and there's no personalities to talk about.

I'm thinking of stepping in and filling the void left by IW with my own shopping Channel. Provisionally named 'The Luxury Gift Channel', I'd like your suggestions for which currently 'resting' telly selly veterans I could consider employing and what sort of products I can offer? FYI the...

Having noticed that IW had disappeared from the listings I hopped on here to find out why. I wonder where Pete 'laugh a month' Simon and Mike 'cor-blimey guvner' Mason will reappear? Sally Jacks will be okay, she can always find work as an announcer at any main train station or major sporting...

I don't watch much selly telly nowadays (it was only ever for the amusement factor anyway) but I happened to see Peter Simon on with a bloke doing some cooking demo; I can't even tell you what the product was, some pressure cooker type thing I think. Anyway, the cringe factor of PS has increased...

Is Foghorn Jacks still with the channel? Thankfully on the few occasions I've dropped by there were other IW 'personalities' in the presenting chair. She seemed to be on all the time at one point.

I rarely tune into IW these days but caught a glimpse of the old lady on the treadmill contraption. She's done some ****** miles since her first appearance!

****** hell that presenter with the Joe 90 glasses and grey hair (don't know his name) is seriously annoying. He was on a kitchen gadget show this lunchtime. I'm surprised they managed to fit his ego into the studio. for him, it's all about meee meee meee. He makes barra boi look reserved.

I haven't seen IW for a while but I watched a segment from the 'Muddy Fox' e bike presentation yesterday. Shawn 'George Formby' Crawley was on with beardy bike man. The pair were clearly the same height as each other but when speaking about how the bike frame sizes fit different people of...

They'll be there on Christmas/Boxing day, desperately trying to offload stuff to a largely imaginary audience (I guess many - but not everyone - will have better things to do than tune into IW). I also guess the focus will be on fitness stuff as they'll be pushing the New Years...

Is there anything tackier than IW presenter's costumes? Whatever the 'event' they turn up in the most appallingly cheap 'fun' outfits. A case in point being the other day when Shona was on dressed as a Christmas present. Are they a metaphor for the channel?

I saw a sliver of TJC yesterday. the presenter (I don't know their names) was selling 'Tanzanite' ring. His spiel was (not quoting) "Okay folks this fabulous ring isn't 24 karat gold, it's not 18 karat, it's the hardest wearing gold of all - 9 karat!"

I've turned IW on a few of times over the past week or so and no Foghorn Sally!?! She was there, screeching at me every time I tuned in. In fact, I was beginning to think they'd sacked everyone else. Her stock equivalent of never off the screen seems to be the vibrapower gizmo. They're selling...

Turned IW yesterday. Foghorn Jacks AGAIN?! It's like playing Russian roulette with single barrelled shotgun! I did catch a glimpse of PS (Foghorn must have been on a 'comfort break' for a few minutes) the other day. He was flogging some fitness kit - can't remember what as I turned over...

I must admit that I don't watch much selly telly these days (QVC seems to be dominated by products aimed at the ladies) but every time I turn IW on I'm confronted by the awful foghorn Jacks. Is she the only presenter on that channel? I tell a little lie, I did see a snippet of a watch show the...

I hardly watch IW these days but sometimes I tune in briefly just to see what they're up to. Each time I do I seem to be confronted by Foghorn Jacks. Needless to say she's only able to get one shriek out before the 'change channel' button takes effect.
