He's just broken the world record for "back passage" references in a shopping telly pitch !

They've just told him that the reason why he had to dress up as Aladdin wasn't just for previewing the new Bid, but a show-reel for his next place of employment...the Theatre Royal Birkenhead for panto season.

Wow, 15 minutes...that must have almost killed him trying to stop himself saying it ! I seriously believe that phrase is hot-wired into Peter's brain, and no matter how hard he tries, it has to come out eventually.

Given the contempt Peter usually held for the female assistants who were unlucky enough to have to work with him, it makes me feel more than a little queasy seeing him going all moon-eyed over Chef Jack.

As Peter has said many times, he needs to go to the butchers as he hasn't had a bit of meat in ages. I suspect Chef Jack may be a potential source of beefcake for Peter...in his dreams !:mysmilie_17:

Looks like he's got his own little gardening gig with JML !

I see Sherlock was slumming it on Price-Drop this evening, does he ever go home/have a day off? And have all the assistants gone now? I noticed that Far had to rope in Caroline to model a ring earlier today while she was on her break.

Some hilarious suggestions here - thank you !

There are still millions of households in the UK who have no internet, and many of Bid's buyers seem to be older people who live in remoter parts of the UK (quite a number in Northern Scotland, if the on-screen ticker is correct). At least they had a 'name' brand on DOTD ...I've also seen Tefal...

Mason compares the solar power fibre optics to the Aurora Borealis and we get the first "lavvverly!" of the night. What was I saying about taking the channels upmarket? Jeez...!

I hadn't seen the promo, but it sounds like a recipe for disaster already. As other posters have noted here, Kiri did well on her unexpected debut at short notice on Sunday night (she was a little panicky and rushed at times, but generally fine). She sold well too, for a Sunday night. I think...

If they are going to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch, the only way I can see them retrieving any credibility is : 1) For a start, a small up-market product base of well-known brands at decent prices. 2) Cut presenting costs to the bone and perhaps go down the IW route with 30...

Good analysis, PP. I wonder if the relaunch will take place now that news has got out? Who'd want to be a supplier to this company now unless hard cash is paid upfront?

So Graham (admin) I assume the fact that you have reinstated this thread this morning means that the OP has provided some proof of this document about Bid's troubles?

Yes, Lisa is off due to a family emergency. I have not seen her present alone before. She seems to be doing OK !

He keeps going on about the 16-string harp "invented" at Trinity College Dublin in 1928 by "Bujohn" Does he mean Brian Boru...he's about 500 years out if he does ! He has now pronounced the name as Brian Burry and Brian Borodge ! I think this is what he's harping on about (see what I did...

Hilarious - he's now claiming Irish heritage ! My favourite..,"Not only from Morag in Scotland" :mysmilie_19:

Perhaps the mischief of an "Idle Mob" !? :mysmilie_59:

It's funny that there hasn't been a peep of promotion about the "big changes" coming our way on the 10th. Whatever will happen I guess it will be pretty radical.

Would anyone remain at the channel if they were working on these terms? Even with the possibility of things improving with a relaunch?
