Does he live in an igloo? Keeps a wooly hat beside the bed, in case he gets cold during the night! Said it goes up to 50C. A heated blanket and a duvet, far too warm. Said there's frost on the windows, I can remember that when I was a child in the sixties, when winters were a lot more severe than they are now. We had heated blankets when we were children that were switched on before bedtime, but always switched off before we got in.

He really will say anything.
I can't remember the last time I bought a bulb
Well, I can - but it was a bulb for a brand new lamp which didn't have a bulb, so it needed one.
But I certainly haven't "had a bulb go" within months of buying it. Energy efficient bulbs that have been knocking around for the best part of 15/20 years. I know LED bulbs are newer (and more energy efficient) but those old energy efficient last a lot longer than a few months. The bayonet-fitting energy efficient bulb in my bedroom has been going at least 4/5 years.
I guess unlike normal bulbs, IW bulbs run on BS, which is in infinite supply as long as the channel is on air

I'm not sure in Shopping TV world but getting a credit gets you more work. I do research and a while back I did research for a small production company but didn't get onscreen credit so harder to prove I was involved. In some cases it involves getting paid more. I don't know if it the same thing. or perhaps giving them a shout out helps internally with the big bosses. Personally speaking I think the background crew are propping up Peter's stint. Yesterday he was far less rambly about the watch. Now could he demonstrate it well? No. But at least he wasn't fumbling and dropping it and I did hear one or two completed sentences. Someone was assisting him big time. And that is to do a bare minimum for his job

You've reminded me of an 80s cartoon starring a big white dog called Wowser!:

No, they should last longer unless they were cheap crap.

People were asking recently about Peter V. I happened to see he was flogging Roofix on Shop On TV the other day

Nothing wrong with crème egg croissants!
I'll quantify this by saying I like her but, genuinely, what is the point of having another presenter presenting with Joanne? Whenever I've seen her these past few days she has always been on with someone else. It's not like she's shy, or needs help, or struggles to talk, it's actually amazing, how she can talk non-stop for the duration of a four-hour shift. The other presenter barely gets a look in because when Joanne starts, she just doesn't stop. There was also a fair bit of her and Emma talking over each other last night to the point you couldn't understand what was being said.
