    I missed that @Hostafan1 - must have been getting a cuppa.... 
    At least we don't have to hear Zoe Ball saying darling and gorgeous every five seconds...
    and he played Tom Petty yesterday. Result  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I like Zoe Ball, but everything, and I mean EVERYTHING  is " Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing" . Almost as bad as Springwatch. It has to be most overused word these days

    I can't watch Springwatch. They all do my head in. Like watching children's tv presenters.
    I don't mind her when I'm out for a walk, as I like having the radio with me, but I wouldn't choose to listen to her. Dermot O'Leary's show on Saturday is very good though.

    I cringe when things are 'adorable ' 😖 - puppies,kittens,teddy bears. 
    I can't think of anything I could bring myself to adore.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Chris Packham talks down to everybody, so treating the audience like children will be standard operating practice for him at least.  There's a woman who joined the team on Animal Park a couple of years ago who I cannot watch or listen to.  She gushes about every 'darling wee thing' on the programme.  I've seen her on other programmes too and she's no better on those.  Reminds me of a cousin of mine who taught the intake class at primary school all her life.  All her actions were OTT because she actually was interacting with little kids.

    Dermot has plummeted in my estimation for becoming  the voiceover for the Lottery ads

    I've only ever heard him on his radio show @Hostafan1. I know he does some of these reality shows, but I don't watch those. 

    'Reality Show'. There's an irony eh?  :D

    Have to agree with the kids presenting style of Springwatch, potentially good show spoiled by that arrogant obnoxious oaf Packham and that silly bint Mikaela.
