Jim’s Gadget Show?

[Kit10]

Obviously someone didn’t get the Memo. Didn’t Steve say he wanted to get back to what they did best- Gemstones? Not sure where earbuds and computer peripherals come into this? Happily WFH tomorrow to need to check it out!

The problem is, I don't actually think they have much in stock in the form of gemstones at the moment - hence why we're seeing diamonds, strawberry quartz and jadeite continuously.

I suspect its down to their financial situation.

At least Jim is watchable and doesn't come across all hard sell either. I'd rather watch gadgets than more Visage, Destello, Slimshotz or Dave and Jake flogging plated junk and jadeite.

Jim was doing this show on Lifestyle before it closed.

Gems have realised (maybe too late) that is very tricky to just sell gemstones in 2023. TJC realised this 4 years ago and diverted quickly to allsorts some worked some didn't

They are chasing the shadow now though and it makes more a mockery of when flying high Steves constant digs at other channels for not just selling high end jewellery

Very much a case of whose laughing now

Thank you Sazza, I didn’t watch Lifestyle. Occasionally when I’d flick over, it was all dire housewares and Destello.

Is there a link to watch these shows (like you can on QVC)? I had a look on the Gemporia site but couldn't find anything, not even ssfyrt earching for earbuds.

 

[harrytumkins]

Not certain but think just the youtube stream which only goes back so far before resetting

Did you not see Rosie selling Willy the worm then?

God No!! The mind boggles!!!

Rosie was funny with Willy the worm. Times when poor Nick didn’t know what to say or do!

Ooh, Jim's doing spy - sorry security cameras on his show today

 

[harrytumkins]

Jim says these glasses are £30 everywhere else

Try again Jim

 

[harrytumkins]

Never seen this Jim chap before seems awfully nice also adding ZERO to these products

 

[Brighthunter]

He should be doing his midnight mega deal, not selling all this 'stuff'

"This is a top of the range Camera"

No Jim It is at least 6 years old which is fine if you tell people that

720p is really really high (no it isn't Jim)

I will take others word this chap is a good presenter but he isn't in anyway a gadget expert

 

[Kit10]

Damn! Missed it!!

Damn! Missed it!!

I did, as well. And I just knew that it would be diabolical, too.

Gemporia is rapidly turning into another Bid.tv.

Jim is a great presenter - but I felt really sorry for him doing this show. It's clear that these are not 'his' products - for example, he was on discussing those animal fridge magnets - but they've been on-air on Lifestyle and Gems TV many times before without any involvement from Jim. They're just from the normal Lifestyle product range.

He's been great so far on Gem Collector. Calm with no hard sell. No BS. Just genuine. Probably one of the very few left in the company that isn't false.

Well they did have Peter Simon for a while after all - not only with the bags under his eyes, not only with his own tacky introduction, not only constantly acting camp, not only trying to be a pound shop Larry Grayson, not only talking about the sun gods of Rah every 5 minutes...................

I remember seeing Dirty Pete on Gemporia. It was a massive shock - for him as much as it was for me. It was obvious that he was definitely out of his comfort zone, as he was half-heartedly trying to rein in the normal waffle, blather and outright crap he usually spouts on air, and wasn't happy about it.

That was when Gemporia was still a serious gems and jewellery company. He would absolutely fit in with the company as it stands today.

I never saw him on Gemporia, I did see him on Ideal World once with snot coming out of his nose and the guy on with him told him to blow it so he did and pulled the tissue away and omg it was horrific. I can't imagine why they would have him on air. I've seen people commenting on Adina with her hair twitching and fiddling, but nothing can compare to him! I'd rather watch 12 hours of Hattie shrieking than 2 minutes of him and his nose!
