They need to make a up to date program, not include QVC, But concentrate on IW.

Looking at how downhill the channel has become down the years

Thank you so much for sharing that Jazzy, that's such a time capsule! It's a shame that IW doesn't exist. Heck, shame those gentler times don't!

It’s ok, it popped up on my recommendations and thought I’d copy that on here

I've solved the mystery of Pete's "kiss my anorak" line.

I saw a clip of Larry Grayson on YouTube and he was telling the audience that he attended a self defence class. He rang the bell and the woman who answered the door said in a snooty manner "what do you want?" He said "and I thought, you can kiss my anorak". The implication being 'kiss my a*se'. It's funny as the punchline of a joke, but out of context is just weird.

He was talking about Everard's previous career as a ballet dancer. "His Sugar Plum Fairy was marvellous, and his Nutcracker Suite was the talk of the business"

Always funny, never crude like Peter.

Not read out this channel really is the pits.

If it doesn’t fit there narrative of shystering they don’t care

What is with the fragrance snobs? I couldn't care less what people wear, or what it costs. As long as the wearer likes it, it shouldn't matter whether it costs a tenner, or a few hundred.

A portable survival shovel is a great Christmas present apparently! Does he think we live out in the wilderness? I know what my husband would say if I gave him one.

It fits in with his Christmas Eve story, when he was stuck getting home

Exactly! I wish people would stop holding their noses around me. I bought the Gammon, and I'll wear it!

He would say Peter Simon can have you

Gawd, gemstone paintings that can influence your life and your health. Just like the worry angels. What a load of old cobblers.

The tat just keeps on coming.

Knowledge/education, and the ability not to just believe everything you're told are so important in life, particularly on IW. For example doing your own price comparison. Being cynical when told clothing is probably a designer item as the label has been cut off. In fact I have an example of his. I was in a little clothes shop in Dorset, didn't have loads of each item, quite a few one offs. I saw a pretty top in my size on a specal offer £10 rail, label cut out. I tried it on and it looked nice so bought it. When I got it home I saw it had a washing label on the inside and it said F&F - Tesco's own brand Florence and Fred. I was petty annoyed as the shop gave the impression of being quite upmarket. But I soon realised that it was a good quality product, a good price, washes well, and doesn't need ironing. I wear it fairly regularly and it still looks good. But I won't fall for that one again.

Thanks for sharing Jazzy. I’d forgotten how professional it used to be. I was surprised by how many of the presenters both on QVC and IW were still on Selly Telly. The current IW presenters could learn a lot from watching their predecessors.

Was amazed by the advert about the minimum wage going up to £3.75? Per hour.

Ignore them Hammy. They don't know classy fragrances like wot us sophisticated people do. They're just jealous

Is it me, or does anyone else agree that those faux leather quilted jackets are horrible? The ones that Mike of the Masons described as gorgeous. And expensive at £40.

I suppose if doomsday happens, we can dig our own air raid shelters. It can also be used to make fire, so maybe useful after all.
