Thanks Julie hun. Will really miss Derek, another reason not to watch Gems! After a carp day at work, then finding out Derek has left, think I will open a bottle of wine to drown my sorrows! :2:
I'll bet he was too scrupulous for them. I can't see Derek being happy at having to trot out the same old rubbish the rest of 'em do. He's very young and hopefully will do well in whatever he is doing/does.
If you read this by any chance DEREK, all the best for your future.
He has a fansite on Facebook if u want to join it I have. Just search for Derek Marks and it should come up with his fansite. He has 35 on there at the moment. The more he gets the more gemstv will miss him.
I'm shocked... just thought he must be on his hols..... Derek is eminently watchable... always enjoyed seeing him... hope he either turns up somewhere else on TV in a FAB job, or at least goes on to something else that he really loves.... fingers crossed for success for Derek!!
I preferred watching Derek to all of the others and it's a great loss. Perhaps he was too honest and outspoken for GEMSTV?? I do hope he turns up on another channel. PC:
I have heard from Derek and from what he has said as he wasnt contractually tied to gems tv both the company and Derek had decided that their working relationship had gone as far as it possibly could. Derek does alot of freelance work so im sure we will see him again soon. He is greatly missed by me as a veiwer as i know he is by many of you here.
and they can shove their latest load of old tat where the sun don't shine.
This old rubbish reminds me of the time, when he was new, that the crew tried to trick him into presenting something out of a Christmas cracker. Probably just as well he won't be doing these disposa - sorry - collectables, cos he'd think it was another lark.
