Peter Simon is like a stuck record. What, with his unnecessary monologues containing more sexual innuendo than a copy of Razzle (I don't read that by the way), Larry Grayson impersonations which come nowhere close, pushing his tongue into his cheek to make him look even more stupid.... and having a laugh worse than Skeletor.... he really is doing my head in (he's overtaking Mikey boy at the moment for me!!!)uke:
Is anyone actually at the controls at Bid.tv? Ofcom are going to have a field day! Hardly anything has changed! Prepare for landing folks, it's about to get bumpy... no wonder Peter Simon is jumping out of a plane.
Mason makes me mildly seethe (and snigger when he tries to talk about astronomy or anything he deems himself to be extremely knowledgeable about) but Peter Simon is one of the only people I've ever seen on tv who genuinely manages to make me feel physically ill. He does this thing from time to time during his monologues where, after saying something horrible, he turns to the camera at the side (technical language, I know!), says nothing but blinks excessively. I don't know why that one act disturbs me so much but it is faintly nightmarish. I don't watch him very often anymore.
I'm thinking that a Peter Simon drinking game might be in order one night. I'll take a swig of gin every time I hear "not only" or "delicious". I suspect I'd be in a bad way within half an hour, though!
