She doesn’t need to make up texters
When she does the 10pm to 2am shift, she gets poems sent to her via the texts
She seems to have regulars that send those poems.

They are still doing 5 Flexis on everything, does that mean nobody is buying
Anyone sending a poem to pedro would be a fascinating readShe seems to have regulars that send those poems.
I think one of us should have a go at thatAnyone sending a poem to pedro would be a fascinating read
Ditto....At least Pedro etc give us some sort of entertainment.That’s four unwatchable hours then.
can believe he is only early 60's.Watched pedro on YouTube bid tv yesterday,he was much more likeable then,looks like age and Dr Lobitov has taken its toll now
I think for quite a few of them the 4 hours in a row stints they do, don't work in their favour. They need to be broken up more. I have noticed they are pairing up presenters more often, which actually works better. Having two people means you can hand over if you're struggling, keep each other right and more importantly give each other energy. The clips I've seen of him from back then he had various other presenters working with himcan believe he is only early 60's.
His patter seems to have lost enthusiasm and pace and that just leaves longer tumbleweed gaps to fill instead!! Seemed on the camp side back then too which I dare say made him funnier.
Just watched one of his bid clips and he is even using the same attempts at jokes, one about bending over and pebble dashing was used on IW last year and was on Bid clip from over 10 years ago.
The thing is if you have a decent agent and you wanted other work, there's no reason why he couldn't, but I feel he has become too complacent. At least Shaun Ryan is making a go of trying something different, the circumstances he was dealt he ran with. Not that I think these people are poverty stricken, but mental health is a major player in keeping your career going. I know Peter Simon (at least in the past) can be a competent presenter but he seems to prefer messing about. Winging it. Which in the last gasping days of shopping TV is not going to do him any favours.It was pitiful to an extent to see him trying to make a joke of the candle f*** up the other night. He is a hard character to read, but underneath the gag cracking about it, you sensed he was upset and felt stupid. But again, you simply never know what is the truth with his on screen reactions. He may even have found the whole thing hilarious for all we really know.
Would he have chosen back in the early 1990s as a semi-well known children’s TV entertainer/presenter watched by millions with the BBC, to thirty years later, be ruining a product demonstration on a shopping channel, watched by a few thousand at best and a few hundred at worst? I very much doubt that would have been his chosen career path back then. The reality of today’s place for him in the television pecking order must be a huge disappointment to him compared to before - however many jokes he cracks…
