Paul Lavers

[Autumn]

So has Paul Lavers gone now? His voice is no longer on them rubbish infomercials during pick of the days. What did it actually achieve him returning the only changes Ive seen is they got rid of Ellis and them infomercial voice overs. The presenters are know different on air so seems like a waste of time to me.

It was behind the scenes things that he was brought in for so there may be nothing for you to see.

Why anyone would want to be associated to this channel, unless it was financial desperation, is beyond me. As a professional actor/presenter, Paul wants to give IW a wide birth. I do think that from an economic angle, he would have benefited more from staying with the Q. I think luring Debs Flint back was such a huge coup, but I don't miss Paul Lavers in the least. Having said that, I thought he did a good job whilst with QVC, but I think he wanted to broaden his career horizons and do other things he was unable to do whilst spending so much time working at Battersea. (prior to move).

But yet he has returned to shopping tv. Must be economic reasons as already mentioned. I havent heard him even do a cheesy voice over and cant remember his last on screen appearance.

What did Paul have to with Debbie going back to QVC? I thought he worked for IW. This sounds interesting.

Paul Lavers was one of three presenters that left QVC to help launch Ideal World. The others being Steve Whatley and Debbie Flint. I can't remember whether Dave Bradford was there at launch or did he join soon after?

Didn't Dave Bradford and Dean Wilson leave Q to join Shop! before joining IW when Shop! folded?

Knew that pds. Misread Louise66's post and thought Paul was responsible for DF's return to QVC. In the early days with Whatters and co IW was a breath of fresh air.

Yes Dave and Dean both left Q to join shop, Dave left Q because he got depressed over the company didn't he
