He does look a bit more human today

Are we going back in time to price-drop TV?

The falling auction price style is a con, with the artificially high prices to make the final price appear even better to potential customers.

I am not sure how long TJC have been using that format, as I never really watched it much in the past. To me, it looks like the Jewellery buyers save the best items for themselves, which gives the viewers the impression of better prices when the buyers are on screen. Presenter on their own, no real bargains, buyer on screen, better prices and better items. Sales increase with most Jewellery items when the buyer is on, making it a win-win situation for them.

He says he was on Blue Peter, but I can’t remember, ooh maybe it was that day when the Elephant took a dump and he had to clear it up

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He was Jason the Cat, apparently.

 

[Jazzydrury]

He’s now talking his damp house again

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Charlie? Are a lot of people multi buying to store them in their back passages (vile leer with tongue pushed into upper cheek). Oh yes, Master, yes to whatever you ask me. I had my little ginnel sorted out by my garden pole the other day… He came from Lodz…I love him coming round my end…of town.

Can’t be any kitchen shows today. As Joe is selling card

 

[Lord Helpus]

His disgusting and dirty 1960s end of pier routines are so tiresome.

Multi buy these solar LED lights and make ya own landing strip in ya back garden. Ya never know, aliens might land asking ya where the shiny face people live. You can tell them IW3 land. Their leader is Natalia and her offers are out of this world.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He displays for me, arrogance in the extreme. He LIKES these 1970s soup in a basket routines, so he WILL persist with them. Whether they are actually disgusting and completely unfunny, it matters not to him. He’s being doing them unchallenged for 25 years and he’s going to KEEP doing them. Having a group of juvenile sycophants working with him and pretending to find his vile double entendres, end of a very seedy 1970s’ pier show repartee and his lurid gurning amusing, and probably laughing at him, rather than with him, no doubt encourages him to do it all the more.

I reckon he was Shep the dog, I reckon many of us will remember "get down Shep!"

The comment I heard was ambiguous, he said "during my Blue Peter days" which implies but doesn't actually say he was a presenter, or even a BBC employee or guest.

TJC have always been a falling price auction channel, so about 18 years. I’m not entirely sure that the prices, with or without a Buyer/Guest are any different. I’ve seen numerous things (do they forget that we remember prices?) that are the same price. I usually put things i fancy on my Wish List. If they are in stock, they stay there even when they have disappeared off the recently aired or missed items, at the price it was last on air. You can also see when they reduce the price.

How long has he been flogging this Collagen drink? Thank goodness my lunch hour is nearly over ……

I'd love it if an investigative journalist decided to do an article on them. Management would invite them in to do interviews with their star performers to show the world how great they are. Well, it worked for Prince Andrew

Maybe he was a guest during his spells on Saturday Morning TV

I see we finally have the elixir of youth
Drink this magic potion and it will take Twenty years off you, you will be able to climb mountains you can’t currently climb, run up hundreds of stairs that would have previously caused you to have a heart attack.
I’m sold I must have it.
I’m gonna buy loads.
And if you believe that I have a London Bridge for sale going cheap that’s a must buy.

Never realised it was a thing on TJC, but having watched last weeks episode of The Apprentice I saw it in action.
