Favourite Male Presenter

[Sazza]

I agree! Some of the worst presentations are when someone is a "big fan" of the product or range, and assumes others feel the same way. If you are watching to learn about new products you do need that impartial extraction of information from the guest. Dale is extremely good at this. Even on shows where he does have more expertise, he is still good at doing that. He trumps Julia in doing his job as a generalist salesperson (Julia does get a bit cosy and exclusive on some shows, but is untouchable on giving clothing sizes and fabric composition).


Now - can anybody tell me - do Dale, or Charlie for that matter, ever present Richard Jackson's Garden? I can't remember if I've ever seen them doing a show.

I switched on a week or so back and it was Charlie and Richard Jackson!

Ah, thank you! I was sure they must have, just I don't recall seeing it. It's at least one show that all the male presenters should feel comfortable doing.

I found this on t'internet about him, which I think implies he doesn't do much else:

Despite this background, Dale started out as a sales and marketing consultant in property. However, it wasn't long before he gave in to his real love and started a career in broadcasting. Dale interviewed many celebrities for local radio, worked at the National Film & Television School and, in 1998, ended up here at QVC!

Dale enjoys a hectic and happy home life and his wide-ranging interests include DIY, gardening and TV - so QVC's diverse range of programming suits him down to the ground.

Also:

Dale Franklin comes from a real showbiz family - his mum, Pat, was one of TV's Wrigley's Doublemint twins and his step-father, Derek Franklin, was a radio star.

I like Dale but had to laugh at the bit about his Mum - not really "A-list" that, is it?!

Doublemint! Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa! LOL! I also come from a starry background. My dad had his right foot featured in an episode of "Bergerac!" He was also in Ken Loach's "Poor Cow" (1967) as a gangster and in Nerami Rudens Diena (1975)

Is that true? Come on, you can't beat being one of the Wrigley's Doublemint twins for superstardom!
