It's the most dramatic change by any of the presenters
he just has to come on shift and do his job - who'da thunk it!
I watched for a couple of minute to see what had changed (I didn't believe he would if I'm honest) and it was quite a surprise
I'm working but I hope someone watches 'the Monday club' tomorrow and lets me know how that goes - the DP/PortelliForeman dynamic will be very interesting to assess under new management!
Oh, wow! It really is all change! Poor Peter, he'll be livid! I must tune in! :grin:

Pola it surely had to stop. It came across as ridiculously self indulgent, unfunny, bizarre, amateur talent show mediocrity.
It looks like the new management have issued a strong message that the presenters are on SellyTelly and are not entertainers on a stage and I think they are absolutely spot on, I really do.
Of course the likes of Peter Simon and Mike Mason will have a small following of people who enjoyed their 'act' but I fancy most people (certainly potential new customers) would have taken one look at them in full flow and switched off.
They were so old fashioned not to mention inappropriate for a hopefully profitable, successful shopping channel. It's got to be a good move.
Completely agree! I'd seen Mason's new style but haven't caught Peter Simon for ages!
I'll never understand why they got rid of Andy, though.
I suspect Andy will be back, it's just a hunch :mysmilie_59:
Indeed deedee, I won't see the first hour but I want to see if they talk about 'Bet', Sky+ is set!
Thank goodness for that!
I would liken Peter to Christ - he had his own Good Friday moment (and he was crucified on here) and now on his very own version of Easter Sunday he has returned Monologue and all.:mysmilie_13:
Indeed deedee, it's a dangerous game to play and it usually ends in tears. It sounded like Peter was just about to mention Bet and Maude during a sale but he stumbled and said something like 'I can think of two people who'd love this'.
I found that quite interesting, I wonder if he's also been told to stop making people and relationships up?
haha, he just can't keep it in! He's going to explode in the next couple of nights :grin:
Simon is like Jason Vorhees - he just keeps coming back for another sequel :mysmilie_13:
I can see tomorrow mornings meeting....
Dr. Green (to PA) - Send Peter Simon to my office asap!
Peter Simon (with fanfare music playing as he enters Dr. Green's office) - You called for me Sir?
Dr. Green - Yes, sit down Peter we need to have a discussion about your performance last night
Peter Simon - Not only did I sell products, not only am I the best presenter, not only do I not have a Larry Grayson slot anymore, not only :mysmilie_512:
Dr. Green - Whilst the scrapping of your on-screen polava monologue was my doing it was for the best Peter, the NHS had sent several referrals for your imminent detention and whilst YOU sell the most products on the channels I couldn't let them take you away...
Peter Simon - does this mean my monologues are restored? :mysmilie_14:
Dr. Green - NO! Did you not hear what I said? Now, about last night...
Peter Simon = Delicious wasn't it?
Dr. Green - for gods sake get over yourself, I thought Mason was bad but for gods sake, just get out of my office! and stop with your on-screen holiday camp performance - we're PROFESSIONALS, PROFESSIONAL YOU BUFFOON!

Peter saying "ladies with lacy bras.....my curvey ladies are in" he was flowing like a blocked u bend!
