But all this industry thrives only because of the public's hero-worship of so-called Celebrities. So true. Some people will buy anything, so long as there's a Sleb's name attached to it. What "designer" training and skills do these Sleb people have? They are the equivalent of one of the...

I think the story he told on the channel (that's back in the day when he did appear on the channel regularly) was that gemology was something he became interested in when he was in his teens - I recall him saying that he was never academic at school, so he looked for something else that would...

I suggest they give that monkey automaton a job immediately, and get rid of her.

You're right, Anita's song used the theme tune of the programme.

Jojo1, I've watched Gemporia (aka Gems or the Genuine Gemstone Company, as it's been previously known) since about 2009 and it was vastly superior to the channel you see today. In fact, no comparison - like comparing jewellery from Van Cleef & Arpels or Harry Winston with today's market stall...

Ah, but was this before they got together? If so, I hereby pronounce Brian Not Guilty, Your Honour. :D. Wasn't this 'wonderful' (crap) song by Anita recorded in the early years of EastEnders?

Yes, an utter crud record by anyone's standards. Another one I vaguely remember was by two tailors' dummies (sorry, Peter and Gordon) - A World Without Love. What a dirge.

Yesterday afternoon she was almost hysterical with joy at seeing Toby (all I can say is some people are easily pleased). She kept clapping her hands together, bouncing around and grinning like a Cheshire cat. She only sees him every day of the week, so understandable, I suppose......

I stopped watching the fashion because of the constant debates over the names of the colours. Back and forth chat between the presenter and the BA: 'this is the mucky mauve, - no - it's pukeworthy purple', etc. etc. So the viewer is none the wiser - excellent selling technique (not)! Why it...

I think you're right. It will go out with a bang, rather than a whimper, now you see it, now you don't scenario. The whole thing smacks of utter desperation at the moment and these so-called 'special' birthday shows are just embarrassing.

I can't understand how anyone would trust them after what's happened in the past. I remember the posts on here over the years, where people were badly let down with large orders for Christmas. Some people were still trying to sort it out into the New Year.

I used to loathe James Russell, but he excelled himself here, hilarious. :D I was enjoying James Russell's presentation until Pete appeared flogging the green towels - 'The racing green, the warmth of a room, what do we pay for a facecloth, what for a bottle of Dettol'. It's like a word salad...

What a change from years gone by, when there used to be some good bargains during the birthday shows. Now it's just the same old same old at inflated prices.

No such luck will anyone be rid of them while they're in India - there will be countless film clips of the two of them, telling us how expensive everything is but how they are still buying only the best, we are so lucky that they are bringing back some 'wonderful surprises' for us, yada, yada, yada.

Can't agree with you about Peter Simon, I thought he was bl%%dy awful, no knowledge whatsoever, just reciting meaningless platitudes, all combined with 'ham' acting and using the presenter he was taking over from as his stooge. The channel must have been inundated with complaints, because apart...

It's a wonder she didn't say 'you just pop them through your back and fasten them in your ear'. I can think of several places to 'pop them' when I'm watching Lyndsey presenting.....ouch! I actually think she's getting worse...if that's even possible.:ROFLMAO: I've just caught a glimpse of an...

Perhaps she was signalling to their suppliers in Farflungistan, asking them for more of the best of the best of the best to be sent over? It could be the latest Gemporia economy, a ban on using phones or other devices, now the presenters have to signal from the studio. I watched just a bit...

Quite like the pendant and earrings, not keen on the ring though.

IMO a price comparison is only of value if it's truly like for like, something that seems to have passed Gemporia by. Not if (a) the actual written description is so small and blurred that it's almost impossible for a viewer to read it when it's flashed before their eyes for 5 seconds flat, (b)...

That may come as news to Charlie Barron!
