There seem to be a lot of presenters that annoy us one way or another.
It strikes me that this could be the department to rein in the most irritating traits of staff.
Let's start with the most controversial - absolutely NO participating in auctions or other competitions run by QVC.
No promotion of products which are not on sale on QVC.
No promotion of own-brand products, even if on sale on QVC, except in the hours they are specifically featured (currently aimed at Julia and Debbie - but who knows where this current book-writing bonanza will lead).
No wearing of leggings on air unless it's a health and fitness show in which the presenter is participating, and then only for that show.
No i-pads or similar devices to be visible or in use on air unless it is a technology show promoting those items. Otherwise, the device should only be used in the breaks.
No on air ordering.
No checking for tweets/fb etc except in the breaks.
Tweets to be selected from product-relevant questions, and product-relevant reviews.
Shimmerbrick BANNED on air.
Porchester Square BANNED on air.
Feet to be covered (mainly to get rid of Julia's toe-posts).
All presenters to be checked for appropriateness to be on air before their shows.
Training to be given to vocabulary-challenged presenters (that's all of them, really) - up to and including persistent offenders being fitted with an electronic zapper for every time a word (eg: indeed, remarkable, prestigious, celebrity), or phrase (eg: get yours now, jump to the phones) is used (free pass for first use in a show). Perhaps with said zapper increasing the power of the zap each time.
That's just my thoughts.
