Who is Abby Sturgeon now on Extra?

[Meeshoo]

I know her name? Who is she? Was she with GemsTV before?

Anyway, I don't really care but PLEASE WILL SHE NOT SHOUT and spout rubbish about "speaking to the producer to see what she can do for us!" Ugh, please!

I've turned over because her internal volume control is clearly not working. :down:

 

[reanebeanie]

Hi Meeshoo, she was on Ideal World, and when they did the Jewellery Vault, plus a stint on The Jewellery Channel. Even saw her in my local Tesco's the other day doing a commercial! She has been around! Agree she is really very loud!!

 

[Sazza]

She does some items on QVC too.

 

[gemcherub]

I remember her from the jewellery vault/Ideal world. Her voice goes right through me!

 

[Meeshoo]

Well I've never ever watched Ideal World or Jewellery Vault so I must remember her from TJC but that must have been ages ago.

BTW has anybody else noticed that Lee is on GemsTV now? It's probably old news and he's probably been on there for years but I only noticed him the other day. I've always liked his presenting style.

 

[Frazzled]

Do you mean Lee Clark? He turned up on Gems a while ago now but seems to come and go, saw him on the morning jewellery making once.

 

[Meeshoo]

Yes that's him! Years ago he was the Head Presenter over at TJC. He was with them for years.

 

[Frazzled]

TJC not been the same since he left, I use to enjoy his banter with DerekG. Still as I rarely watch these days....

 

[Sacha]

Another import from TJC was Ian Gardner! But I haven't seen him for ages. Not a fan of Abby Sturgeon, it's all non stop hardcore selling. Think she also demonstrates (very enthusiastically) some Nintendo Wii stuff on QVC.

 

[Frazzled]

I've not seen Ian on Gems, I liked him too. I only usually watch Gems if I wake early and can't get back to sleep, it's quite often Jim Brooman presenting, another import! - he's lovely.

Yeah he has been on Gems, well Gems Extra since last year.

 

[Meeshoo]

OMG has Ian Gardner disappeared as well? Crikey I'm really out of touch!

I do like ickle Jim Brooman! I'll never forget when he was trying to count backwards from 20 or so and completely messed it up. It was hilarious and he ended up in stitches laughing at himself.

 

[reanebeanie]

Think, though not too sure, Ian Gardener is now doing something in America. Love Lee, he was my favourite presenter on TJC (that position has now been taken by the lovely Derek Marks!). Dont see Lee much on Gems, as I cant watch Gems with the sound on! He is wasted on that channel IMHO! As for sweetie Jim, have only seen him briefly in the early morning (cant stand the awful music so mute button always on!) I remember that Meeshoo! As you say, it was so funny!

Abby Sturgeon has been on Gems over the last month / 6 weeks or so that I have seen. I never did like her on any of the other channels she was on and she hasn't improved for me. I think I remember her working for that bunch of crooks Auction World a few years ago now (and or i-buy, more crooks!). They stung me for a camera but thankfully I was able to get a refund through my credit card. I know it isn't the presenters fault but it leaves a sour taste when you see them hard selling away on another channel and boy does Abby Sturgeon hard sell.....

I really can't understand why both Jim Brooman and Lee Clarke are not on in the prime time slots of Gems/Extra. Their presenting style is calm, informative and funny, and not just sell, sell, sell with earsplitting volume. Jim is wasted on the 4am-8am Gems slot, and Lee on the late shift on Gems Extra.

Very true Argeybargey, but having a fine pair myself, I can't say those on show do anything for me. However, a nice bit of Man Candy is very welcome.

Sadly, only too true Argey. Whoever hires the female presenters (could it possibly be a man??) ignores all the unbelievably annoying habits, but for me far worse than that, the awful, awful schreechy voices that Gems seem to specialize in. Come to think of it, perhaps it's a prerequisite? I really do wonder how many viewers turn down or switch off the sound with the majority of their female presenters.
