Christ Gary Ashburn has certainly changed.....

A woeful collectibles show. Cheap and made in huge numbers items. Collectible 10000s seems like a grand oxymoron to me. At least old Harry used to bring some quirky and genuinely interesting items released in small numbers. This was like watching a decorating table at hospital car boot sale. The numbers they actually sold was probably the most collectible figure of the evening.

I like Gary Ashburn certainly a grafter had more channels than any of them

Not really sure it is an area that suits shopping tv anymore tbh certainly not as a regular slot

Snoring with Peter van Biggendnoize. I usually do, soon after his presentations commence. Right. No more. A re-run of Bullseye if it’s on, or TOTP 1976.

Nothing for two in the bed

Not on this channel

And we surrender ourselves to the Great God RattanView attachment 26388

Never seen so much rattan in all my life. I did begin to wonder if they were just mispronouncing ‘rotten’.
I think I said on the old forum that I was waiting for rattan contact lenses next.
And I bet they’d have found a way not to mention the word ‘scratchy’.

Who is this guy?? An olden days IW cook? I thought they’d be welcoming back Double Entendre Jack or Ladies’ Favourite, John…?

Or maybe even Big Brodel?

Will we see the return of the great 200,000 steps a day, Treadmill Jenny? Though in that size of studio they might struggle to get her in, let alone the three treadmills to go with her.

Just trying to guess what these worst performing former Ideal World products are they are selling? The sticky stuff? I don’t even remember seeing that on the channel. The bike? I thought they sold well.. The collagen stuff? Wasn’t that a different brand to what Ideal sold, or does that mean collagen products in general sold poorly? Greenworks? They’ve not sold that brand for years? Or again…does that mean mowers in generslare poor sellers? The H2O machine? I can imagine that not selling well..Those wretched shammy things from that terribly annoying Australian fellow?

I really hope none of them has David Ades’s number…

I remember him posting on here in the early 2000s, I’m sure. It’s a long time ago now (if you don’t believe time is an eternal now, that is) but I recall him being rather defensive to any criticism of his products - mops and sponges and plastic paint applicators in general, wasn’t it? Is he still going with these, I wonder?

 

[Jazzydrury]

Also his No wet wonder foam

And Bosun Spinmop…Which sounds more like one of the made up Captain Pugwash crew names some were threatened with legal action for if they ever dared mention them as fact…

 

[cheeky chappie]

Blimey…this show is hard going… Limited editions of 9995…Marvellous.

I hopped on to 748 (Virgin) back of 10pm and they were flogging these, the one on screen was something like £16.99 plus £3.99 p&p. Quick Goodle, found retailers flogging the same thing for £10.99 plus similar p&p.

Such great value ... not

Paul Brodel will be back very shortly if the facebook conversations are a guide to anything.....


The Snore Wizard show Vollevant looked like he would rather be anywhere else and there was not one mention of how "busy" it was

Sunday Night Creepy and Hayley said see you next weekend,

Not if I see them first.

 

[JeepSwensonfan]

I like Collectables,

Me too. Got a few signed photo's. Most expensive was William Shatner at £80.

 

[Deleted member 21838]

There is nothing like a good collectibles show. And that was nothing like one.

 

[Jazzydrury]

I was watching it and wondering, how Disney etc, gave them permission to make the tat

 

[Deleted member 21838]

The stuff that she was showing appeared to be very mediocre, and not in the least collectible going by the numbers that they were allegedly producing. It intrigued me how those products got sanctioned by the companies owning the copyright for them, so uninspiring that they were. But I suppose you can't dispute what she was saying, can you?
