Gabbling presenters

[Almerinda]

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.

Glen and Miceal are both horrendous for talking fast. Glen mumbles too which makes it even worse. Lorna, Eilidh, Ophelia and Chloe Everton are other culprits.

I think nearly all the presenters are now guilty of talking far too fast AND FAR TOO LOUD. They talk over the BA's who then shout as well to try and be heard. I find myself turning the sound down all the time and sometimes turning it off completely. Jilly is about the only one I can listen to of late and she's hardly ever on when I watch.

Jilly has never changed her personality in all these years, she is the same now as she was when she first got engaged to her husband. No airs and graces, ordinary down to earth and no rubbish gabbing. I have always liked her.

It is even more frustrating as the gabblers are also the ones least likely to provide useful, relevant information about the products featured in the shows!
Despite not being a major fan of Debbie or Julia, I have viewed them with new appreciation for their capability to give all the relevant information.
