I replied to a post the other day commenting that presentations are more frenetic than of old. Then, proving my point, I saw a repeat hour with Messrs. Campbell and Murphy and it was unbearable. I can't remember either of them talking so quickly in the past.
Then I saw a Kim and Co hour with Debbie Flint and Carla Laszlo and what a difference. I am not a huge fan of Ms. Flint but she does speak at a normal pace and describes the items she is selling, and I also appreciate it when she asks the models (bossily at times) to move their hair out of the way or take off a superfluous belt/coat/scarf which is impeding the spectator from clearly seeing what is actually being presented. Carla is always calm and measured unlike Jenny Blackhurst who has also adopted a slightly hysterical style in recent months.
There are a few presenters who maintain a calming style; Julia, Katy, Catherine, Dale and Will are those who immediately come to mind and who don't incite me to throw my mug in the direction of TV, whilst Jill and Chloe, and a few others who should know better, do.
