Watching Rob late last night, it is clear the presenters are finding it slow, he was flogging some shopping trolleys, He was asking the crew how many of whatevers they could fit in there.
No-one deserves that.We now have 4 hours of Shona
I maybe wrong, but have a feeling he does live alone and his job is his life
Was he Ever really I icon though, from what I remember on Going Live, he was third after Schofield and Greene, and on Live and Kicking, he was under Peters and Forbes
He's the Joe Biden of Selly telly.In his head, he clearly thinks his legacy as an entertainer is in his non-shopping tv work. Hence all the name dropping, references back to being a children's tv icon, the "award winning Peter Simon" intros.
In reality …his legacy is his shopping tv antics. The snot. The falling over. The innuendos. The flogging absolute tat as though it's an undiscovered Monet.
On Bid Up TV it was easy to laugh with Peter Simon, these days, more often than not, everyone is laughing at him. He used to be able to finish a sentence, or start a joke and know where he was going with it…
Now he's degenerated into incoherence, babbling the same phrases ("check out your baskets", "go to the phones", "this truly is, and I really do mean this, so forgive me dear viewers, I say it as it is me", etc) endlessly, and his "comedy" routines reduced to saying smutty things in a camp tone of voice as though it's 1973 and that's funny by itself.
