which presenter would you get rid of next? Tim Lovejoy off the telly and Christian O’Connell off the radio for me. Any producers willing to take a right hand off these two wastes of good oxygen would earn my eternal gratitude. I do realise they can be avoided but they’re still there aren’t they? Getting paid for talking rubbish and laughing at how tremendously funny they are.

Simple – Graham Norton. Get Rid!
davebigpicture says
Don’t mind Norton. Alan Carr however should be cast out.
Black Type says
Graham Norton is in my view a very witty and, judging by his radio programme, wise and humane person.
James Blast says
Jeremy Vyle, but then what would I do? Oh! there’s hundreds of his shows on ITV/STV Player. Okay lose the cretin,
“WIth my greatest respect, going this way and that way, giving them a round of applause, where I come from (Hell), you’re a liar my friend and just think of this little baybee”.
ARSE!
Jackthebiscuit says
Simon Cowell, Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton, Phillip Schofield, Vernon Kay, & Jeremy Clarkson.

davebigpicture says
Suzi Perry?
Hubba hubba!
moseleymoles says
One of the mini moles is convinced that Stephen Fry is a shoe-in.
deckards says
Steve Wright in the afternoon. Or any time for that matter.
Gatz says
Let’s just say that I wish James Corden every success in America. I sincerely hope he’s a massive hit in the States for the rest of his professional life. Good luck to ya, big guy!
Uncle Wheaty says
Steve Wright.
FFS how long can he peddle the same old shit. Radio 2 Needs to change it’s afternoon format. His Sunday show is also awful.
johnw says
I thought it was just me that couldn’t listen to him. I’ve always just found him creepy sounding and it gives me the shivers. Fortunately he’s on Radio 2 so I’m only ever exposed to him if I’m in an old person’s house!

Tim Lovejoy? Have you lost your mind? He is beyond redemption as a broadcaster
count jim moriarty says
Lovejoy is a total buffoon. He was bad enough on Sky on a Saturday morning football show – I remember him saying ‘you’ll never see me doing a cookery show’…
Sewer Robot says
I’ve been grumbling about getting Alan Green off the radio for yonks. I didn’t realise -Bedazzled style – that meant them putting him on television instead..
count jim moriarty says
At least on TV he’s only on for about 5 minutes at a time.
Harry Tufnell says
Mark Lawrenson. None of the ones mentioned above affects my life in the slightest because I choose not to watch people or programmes I don’t like, I do watch football however and Lawrenson spoils that for me. I’m not fond of Alan Green but I can tolerate his opinions better than I can the “wit” of Lawrenson.
Dodger Lane says
Emily Maitlis on Newsnight, she is flipping useless. Any politician or anyone deserving of a grilling must be rubbing their hands in glee when faced by her.
Alan Green. It’s not about you Alan, it’s the game that counts. When I hear his hysterical commentary, I pine for the days of Bryon Butler whose style was understated and yet still memorable.
Robbie Savage. He is a moron and every day he is on the radio and tv is a day too long.
GCU Grey Area says
Evan Davies. Couldn’t stand him on Today, can’t stand him on on Newsnight. Utterly uninterested in anything other than ‘business’. Stop giggling, boy.
Justin Webb on Today. Seems either to be completely bored with the interviewee and the subject, or attacks from the word go. Acceptable with a politician, less so with a scientist, or charity jam-maker (© The Day Today). Actually, like many presenters he just gives up with anything science. Funny, Justin, you wouldn’t dare laugh off your ignorance if was arts or politics.
Jim Naughtie. Shorter questions, FFS. Shorter.
Adrian Chiles. Please come back, Victoria Derbyshire and Shelagh Fogerty.
Dodger Lane says
Yes, to think Justin Webb replaced Ed Stourton who was/is a much more accomplished presenter. Jim Naughtie got a bit of a duffing from the head of Scottish labour this morning and was left a bit floundering.
I do like Victoria Derbyshire though. Haven’t heard recently but have always thought she was very good when talking with the public, doesn’t patronise them.
GCU Grey Area says
Regarding Top Gear.
Have rotating presenters like have I Got News For You, and call them all ‘The Jeremy’.
First: Sabine Schmitz, from German Top Gear.
deramdaze says
Lawrenson once waxed lyrical about how Liverpool completely out-psyched Roma in the 1984 European Cup Final because before the game the Liverpool team…..wait for this…..were listening to Chris de Burgh at full blast in their dressing room.
Quite apart from such a laughable image, the game (probably the most *boring in the history of Association Football) ended 0-0 after extra-time.
Shouldn’t a complete out-psyching be a 4 or 5 nil?
I’d get rid of him.
He also once said his favourite musician was Van Morrison but not the ‘difficult one’.
‘Astral Weeks’.
I’d definitely get rid of him.
(*Obviously not including the 1996 F.A. Cup Final)
ernietothecentreoftheearth says
Jools Holland. Please.
Vulpes Vulpes says
Seconded. Can we have that gobby little Yorkshireman back instead please?
Dogbyte says
Chris Evans, always sounds like he’s trying too hard.
Black Celebration says
The last time I listened to Steve Wright he stopped a Depeche Mode song half way through, declaring it boring. Then he put on M People. The cock.
However, he did had Richard Easter writing some very funny sketches – one regular piece was daleks exchanging pleasantries that always escalated into conflict, with one of them shouting “leave it!”. This was very, very funny.
Rigid Digit says
Richard Madely – off the radio and the telly.
He just sounds like he’s trying to hard, but doesn’t really have a clue
Deviant808 says
Another vote for Lovejoy, the epitome of the “football was created in 1992” moron.
Always worth posting these in response to any mention of the little gobshite just to make sure that everybody’s seen them:
Taylor Parkes skewers Lovejoy’s book:
http://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/42-Media/145-no-love-no-joy
“He names Johan Cruyff as his all-time favourite player, then admits he’s only seen that five-second World Cup clip of the Cruyff turn.”
Plus Jake Yapp spoofing “Sunday Brunch” in 99 seconds on “Charlie Brooker”
“Classic Bantz”
Rigid Digit says
His “knowledge” of The Ramones is surely enough to consign him to history.
He had a chat show on Sky – He was wearing a Ramones T-Shirt when Martin Freeman was a guest. Looking visibly irritated, Martin Freeman asked him to name 3 Ramones albums.
TJs reply: “um … the Best of The Ramones?”
Also have a vague recollection he declared support for Watford – until Chelsea started winning and then he told the story of how he’s a lifelong Chelsea Fan who first went to Stamford Bridge at the age of 2.
Absolute tw*t
