General TV thread - R852 PRG - 21 Feb 2015
(21 Feb 2015, 4:16 pm)Jimmi wrote Yeah I'm not a big fan of him either.
I just don't want to sound like I'm against it, but I think it has something to do with him being gay.
Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against homosexuality, I think it's great that it's so widely accepted these days - but the way he talks, his general attitude and the way he acts like an old woman just gets on my wick soooo much!

I dont like people who are too camp, when they get to the point of there campness being put on, it pees me off
Nick Grimshaw is as camp as a field full of pink tents

So does Alan Carr. But I feel Nick Grimshaw just puts it on to basically 'advertise' himself as a gay presenter.
Companies are desperate for them now because of all these laws, etc, like in soaps you need at least one in at any time no matter what.

Like some American Films always seem to have a token black guy to show the world there not racist

I agree with the not liking Grimmy. Disliked him since the days of T4
It has nowt to do with him being camp though. Whatever their faults, the likes of Frankie Howerd, Charles Hawtry and Kenneth Graham were great.
They milked their campness for all they could.
RE: General TV thread - S813 FVK - 22 Feb 2015
Talking of camp...anybody watch Judge Rinder on ITV? He throws his arm a bit but also make a joke out of it too like he did in an interview on Good Morning Britain:

Just to follow on from Marcus' joke elsewhere on the board re Bobby... How long do you reckon it'll be before the 'new' Peter returns?

I hope they don't re-cast him, i like Ben Hardy.
I hope he returns with Lauren!

I think he said in an interview that the live was going to be his last ever show as he was leaving EastEnders completely, but they've left the door open for Peter to return. He used the character's name rather than saying 'me', so I guess if they do want Peter back, they'll have to re-cast him.
Lauren's only away on maternity leave, isn't she?

How many actors has played Peter now, is Ben Hardy about the 7th
Seems to be a common thing in 'Enders
Lucy was played by 4 actors
Ben Mitchell portrayed by 5...I remember one Ben leaving with a hearing aid in and the next time he was back he was minus said hearing aid
Martin Fowler comes in at 3

No massive surprises, but some of the girls on my Facebook didn't seem too happy that Beyoncé didn't win..!

"Kanye west is absoloutley shite hahaha embarrased for him ?"
Only one I can find! Ed Sheeran had a few more bad comments - but I quite liked him.
Not keen on Take That.

Not supporting what he's allegedly done at all, but there seems to be a permanent media hunt to get the bloke sacked. Also, it must be the biggest money maker for the BBC, and Top Gear (including May and Hammond) would be snapped up by another company should BBC sack Clarkson, it won't work without him in my opinion.

Agree with everything you've said. I personally love Jeremy Clarkson, even if some of the things he says are a bit shocking.
He adds a comedic element to Top Gear, which James May and Richard Hammond don't seem to be able to do so well. Like you say, Top Gear is a big bread winner and wouldn't work without him. To me, he's always been the face of the show, and the main presenter from what I see in it. Hammond and May are (sort of) his sidekicks.
I think the Media just love to crawl all over people like him, but that's the Media!
