12 weeks to sell the assets. Will make a nice Christmas gift for someone.

I would feel sad if we’ve seen the end of Dawn Wheeler, you can see HobbyMaker giving her a try out, especially, seeing Andy Love is very involved with them

Good news: 7-8pm on Monday sees Wheeler with Craft Buddy

I don't know who you are (and it doesn't matter) but if you were there, I am sorry.

I was speaking with an employee earlier who reminded me it's meant to be their payday tomorrow, so hopefully that still pulls through.
In my experience shopping TV crew are hard working - sometimes overworked - and generally want to do their best and do the right thing. They don't deserve to be treated in the way they have.

There is space in the market for a channel of this type, well run, appropriatey marketed and fairly priced. It's a shame nobody wants to do that.

The pricing had gone wrong at C&C: I saw too much stuff for £100+ like the AALL and Create Autour de Mwa monthly stuff and other bundles. There was only really Pinflair left doing well-priced stuff, and that wasn't enough to sustain it.

I agree

I see Hobbymaker have Storage 4 Crafts on Monday, Wonder how many viewers actually bought all that expensive storage

Also think Flexi Pays were a issue, as with them having to add a Admin Fee for Flexis, it’s clear not all customers fulfilled the payments

The channel had got more expensive there was a time, there was a time when there was a big set, they would show the add ons first, then the full kit, but then they switched it the other way.

Sure I read somewhere the company who run TJC/IW were showing interest .

If they get the right people involved who actually understand what changes need to be made, instead of keeping the same old crap it would do well. Despite my own complaints about IW Vaibhav Global Limited are a profitable business, they just need the right management in place and it could work

I wonder if Yiannis knew

They've just announced it's over, on Facebook, officially

Those presenters would go down like a lead balloon with C&C viewers. I remember a few times when they did cover on C&C especially Clitheroe Kid Varney. Disaster. Immediately changed channels.

You do realise I was joking?

 

[Jazzydrury]

I remember Peter Simon doing a hour once, he just stood there, hardly ever spoke, must have thought I can’t BS through this
