Quite true Bendy, but also: can you blame our cynicism?
Simon Iles has form in doing dodgy demos of cleaning products/items, pretending he's cleaning off ground in/worn in dirt/grime that isn't. When people who buy the product on the basis of his demo ask him "why don't I get those results?" or "how do I get those results?" he doesn't answer.
Denice is a consummate presenter, and an icon of shopping TV but… Boy does she exaggerate and overhype the most mundane tat regardless of what it is. Add in her irritating pretence that she wants to buy/has bought one/ten for her/her family… It belies a contempt for the viewer.
Paul is a capable presenter. He's quite down to earth. His success in other avenues is testament to his skills. But on Shopping TV he's just as prone to being ridiculous as Denice.
Tim Britton… I won't go there in case he sues.
Mark Ryes is perhaps the least irritating of the lot, but he's very… beige.
In all likelihood Seen on TV® is not going to be selling anything that hasn't been sold 100 times before, and it won't be selling it in a new, honest, genuine manner, or with fresh new faces. Even the studio set was pulled from the skip after Shop Extra shut down.
Same hackneyed products, same scruples-lite presenters, same old same old.
I gave you a like for some of your post, but have to say i totally disagree with your assessment of Denice, Paul & Mark, consumate, capable & least irritaing? As bad as Simon Lies is, would have him any day before the others, at least you can laugh at Simon and his stupid dodgy demos & misleading and incorrect info, the others are the most irritating, self absorbed nobodies that spout utter inane rubbish, they're product knowledge was among the worst on IW and that's saying something, why anybody would employ them for a selly telly channel is beyond me, probably the cheapest Simon could find or nobody else wanted the job.
