Whatever you think about his selling style being questionable, he is an interesting character to try to analyse.
From a reasonably high profile TV career in BBC children’s programming in the late 1980s/early 1990s, to hawking cheap watches and the like on television shopping channels for 20 years plus. You wonder if he looks back and regrets the direction his career has gone in or not? Who knows, though, what the more high profile shopping TV presenters make? Maybe significantly more than somebody doing a kids’ game show on the BBC would do? He could well pro rata earn more now than if he’d stayed doing BBC work. That said, doing shopping television into your 60s week in week out, selling the same stuff and saying the same things, can’t be the most stimulating way of making a living. But who knows - he may actually enjoy the work. And for his sake rather than ours who suffer him, let’s hope he does.
