It's 4.23 pm and Lindsay has just told us that we could expect to pay four figures for a silver bangle. Yeah, for what's on the screen I'd pay £10.00 but that's about it, but they're asking £99.99 (she reckons the right price is £199.00) . At Van Cleef and Arpels, apparently you could pay...

7 pm and I've just watched a few minutes of Jess and Toby, duetting over the presenting of some lip balm or another from a toiletries range. What is the point of having two presenters on screen when they are just talking over each other? It's virtually impossible to make head or tail of what...

Debbie Cavill and Jess on during this hour and some of the pieces shown looked very nice, high-end - but the prices! I wonder how many of these pieces are actually sold - and kept - at these prices? Also, if the information in the 'description' section of each piece gets any smaller it will...

Just been watching Dave T. and Lynsey flogging freshwater cultured pearl necklace, different coloured pearls. The mis-pronunciation is off the scale, likewise the claims. Lynsey, you would have a lot more credibility if you pronounced your words correctly - it's not sin-ger-lally, it's...

Utter cringefest during the 9:44 hour this morning. It's Amateur Night (morning) with Rosie and Toby, lots of shouting. I haven't seen Rosie on screen for a while and she used to be one of the better, more knowledgeable and factual presenters but from what I've just seen then that's all...

These are diamonds (set in silver)??? Looks like stones picked up from the garden - and muddy ones at that. Just £49.99 for this 'delightful' ring.

I'm not under the sea but I am under the table watching Adina keep on touching her nose flogging these miniscule pearls said to date from 1907 and discovered by Charlie Baron, being flogged set as pendants and designed by Hans someone (Knees and Boomps-a-Daisy?). Good grief, anyone who buys...

Wow, the prices for his loose carved stones. I know these are the ones he carves himself, but by heck, the prices are eye-watering - and for some pretty common gemstones. I cannot believe that they'll sell all of them. At least Emily's presenting style on Gem Collector is a bit calmer than...

I thought Rosie was one of the better (less manic) ones, but she seems to be going down the same road of exaggeration as the rest of them. She's flogging a silver + marialite bracelet, which of course(?) is valued at over £1,000 but being flogged at £119. She's twice pronounced 'marialite' as...

Sorry if people have posted this information many times before, but can anyone suggest good reliable companies if I want to buy loose gemstones? Prices are just ridiculous on Gemporia's Gem Collector. I seem to recall the name Gem Select being mentioned? Thanks.

I notice that Gemporia have a Primal Living show listed for 3 pm on Saturday (tomorrow), and another one later in the evening - hosted by Nick Davies, no less. I was under the impression that Nick had gone for good? Not that it means much, Gemporia's like a revolving door these days, now...

Just had a look at Harriet Houston on the 9 o' clock evening show.....the prices!! a pair of nothing special black diamond earrings set in 9K gold (yes, 9K) = well over £2,000! Would you pay that for something set in a miniscule amount of 9k gold (and what's the quality of the black diamonds...

Just switched over to Gemporia and watched 5 minutes of the morning show with Dave Troth and "Meels" (Amelia, I think) flogging some jadeite and garnet drop earrings. They are 'gold flash', so sterling silver with an overlay, and the presenters reckon they are incredibly cheap at £99.99...

I noticed last night that Derek Marks is making one of his temporary comebacks to Gemporia (he said something about being on there today as well, and then coming on again over New Year). I must say it was SO nice to have someone on there not bawling down your ears and making extravagant...

So what's with the different names being used? Unless my eyes are deceiving me, Hattie Greenwood looks like the same person as Hattie Houston to me, but on some things she's shown as Hattie Greenwood and on others as Hattie Houston. I can understand that she might have married and the second...

Is it me or is anyone else getting fed up with Alex McKay's constant references to the USA when he is presenting? Alex is a very knowledgeable presenter so far as the gemstones are concerned, but his conversation increasingly centres around talking/reminiscing about viewers in the USA or trips...

The woman who is on the Cuddle-something hour (long length cardigans) looks like Coco the Clown in the outfit she's wearing - what the heck has she come as? She's quite obviously struggling to make up the chat as she goes, it's painful. She's talking to the guest, who is Alex (ex-Gems...

Did anyone notice that at 11 pm this evening, presenter Alex (American female, and very screechy) came on to present? Never liked her, too over the top in my book (and that's saying something for Gems presenters). To my knowledge, she left the company some time ago and pitched up working on...

Gems TV tonight is an hour of perfume and then an hour of candles! The remote has just been used - if I never see another candle on selly telly it will be too soon and I fail to understand how people want to buy an unknown perfume that you can't trial from a shopping telly channel. In theory...

Just caught a bit of the De Jager garden hour - presented by Dale, the Gnome and the Bloke from De Jager (who may be first cousin to The Man From Del Monte), all trying to get a word in edgeways. Why, why, why do they think that 2 so-called 'experts' and 1 'bystander' are all required to...
