    It is painful watching Dirty Peter trying to prevent himself saying "not only" during the Deal of the Day presentation...but he just can't help himself ! "Not only the depth of the purples...."

    Did anyone happen to see Peter singing "Anything Goes" last night? Pure car-crash telly !

    I don't think James Whale was there for long. I distinctly remember him and an assistant trying to make each other corpse with off-colour remarks about "trimming your bush" when they were selling garden shears.

    Brown cotton towels, faux fur throws, blood pressure monitors...what a random selection of tat for a Sunday night !

    Peter Simon

    I was watching the old clip of Peter buying two "wooden" geese live on air on You Tube today and there was not one "not only" to be heard. Made me wonder when all these annoying verbal tics first began to appear?

    Been going about 15 minutes with these cheap knives and has sold about 50 sets so far. Pretty dire stuff.

    Favourite quote of 2013

    From Steve MacDonald during a stint on Price-Drop, when questioned more closely by Yolisa about his claim to have been a grafter since his youth..."Yeah, I worked on the fairground rides when I was 13"...ahh, once a carnival huckster, always a ....!!

    These so-called "old-school" jewellery avalanches...

    I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I've seen Steve "Trust me, and you'll be rewarded" McDonald conduct them in the past couple of weeks and they're nothing like the "avalanches" of old. Previously, the price that the previous item sold for would be put on screen right at the...

    lan and Barry Crafti Creations....

    I think someone must have had a quiet word with them as they were truly a bizarre and terrible presenting duo. I don't know who is Alan and who is Barry, but when the balding guy (the one standing up) was doing most of the selling, the other one (sitting down) would interject (offscreen) with...

    Deal of the Day Leaf blower, sucker and shredder

    I'm sure the body language of Bid-Tv could provide the research data for many a thesis. Makes you wonder how much of a bad-tempered old bugger Dirty Peter is off-camera - I suspect many assistants don't relish the thought of putting a shift with him. Possible reason why Peter avoids Charlie...

    Happy Easter?

    Nothing the old rogue does or says surprises me any more !

    Tablet?

    MrM, I'm going to break the habit of a lifetime and pick up a Tesco Club Card so I can buy the Hudl at the reduced price for my Mum's Xmas present. I haven't bought a tablet before - do you happen to know if it comes with a mains lead, or if you can buy one as an extra? Just asking because my...

    I thought they do this every year in the run-up to Christmas. Maybe they're a little early doing it this year. Last year they went on to 3 a.m. Friday-Sunday.(1.30 a.m. - 3 a.m. with a "trainee" presenter) Wouldn't be surprised if it's a 2 a.m. finish every night till Xmas now.

    Debbie and James

    Think she soon tired of James asking her to flick that ****** jumper every 10 minutes !

    I liked Debbie's aside with James earlier...."I'm not too sure yet how the pricing policy works here" Oh, dear sweet innocent Debbie, do you really know what you've signed up to?

    Peter did not look best pleased when his assistant called him a "dirty old man" after he said "I'm enjoying this" when she pressed her mike up close to him so viewers could hear the singing Xmas jumper.

    Bet she'd never thought she'd have to flog a gorilla onesie on her second day. James thinks it's the best thing they've ever sold on the channel - Debbie seems a little less enthusiastic.

    It's noticeable that she is reining in Russell every time he descends into making inane comments - and she obviously doesn't like him making fun of her. A touch of frostiness between them already, I reckon ! I wonder if she's been introduced to Lisa Brash yet?

    She's way too genteel and softly-spoken for the raucous shenaningans at Bid - can't imagine her barking at the camera a la Sally Jacks in six months time somehow.

    She used to co-present Breakfast Time with Frank Bough back in the day. I'm sure Peter will be in his element, another ex-BBC bod on board - they'll be swapping stories about the good old days when they used to rule the roost, no doubt... At 54, Debbie looks pretty good, I have to say...I think...
