slighty incapacitated at home. just sat through a Stacey Dooley doc about Japan...
interesting enough material, but Ms. Dooley? then i see there are loads of things presented by her.
who gave her a job?
who else beggers your belief?
Clarkson
Matt Baker
Clarkson......but I like him now.
shoplifter bloke and his miss piggy looking mrs.
Whoever the woman on the one show is, she's hopelessly rubbish.
Helen Skelton.
Phil Spencer.
Nicky Campbell.
Noel Edmonds.
The smug, greasy little tosser who presents Rude Tube.
Clarkson & Matt Baker obviously.
Whoever else comes up in this thread, Stacey Dooley really is an order of magnitude worse. It's a bonefide mystery that she continues to find work.
Stacey Dooley is a bit of a conundrum - on the face of it she is a complete loon, but I watched the show she did on Greece and in the end she asked some questions that other presenters have shied away from. I reckon she's not as daft as she sounds - but by ghod does she sound daft!!

😆 can picture them precisely from that description!
i'm intrigued.... who is the shoplifter with ms piggy?
Dermot O'Leary - an empty vessel without anything interesting to say.
i'm intrigued.... who is the shoplifter with ms piggy?
Richard & Judy, of course
Matt Baker
i had a newfound respect for him when he asked cameron how he managed to sleep at night at the end of the one show.
shoplifter bloke and his miss piggy looking mrs.
Richard and Judy?
That little pipsqueak who does those 'Equator', 'Tropic of Capricorn' type things. Luckiest bloke in telly, landing that gig.
an empty vessel without anything interesting to say.
in other words..... 'a presenter' - thats pretty much the job
shoplifter bloke and his miss piggy looking mrs.
Mrs? I thought that was his mum! 🙂
Adrian Chiles - doesn't matter what he's presenting, he just smothers it in his "can't be bothered, don't really care" demeanour.
Feltz.
Normally I'd be on the Clarkson bandwagon too, but I'll give him leeway for PQ17 and the VC thing. Top Gear is tiresome bilge, however.
Adrian Chiles
+1
That cookery fella with the black greasy hair. Nigel Slater.
Ok so he can cook a bit, but do we have to have superzoom close-ups to see every pore on his smug, lipless FACE?
I found clarcksons bombastic style too much for the convoy doc

more to the point - who would trust a skinny cook?
Thats not to say his content isn't great - he can write really well about food but he can't convey it well on camera. Presenting is a skill/profession in its own right and sadly he'd be better off putting his words in someone else's mouth.
Mmmm
What's she doing with her hands to give Richard that smile on his face?
Guy Martin.
Jeremy Vine.
Bwian Cox.
Russell Howard.
Gary Linker.
Bruce Forsythe.
Dara O'Brien.
Melvyn Brag.
Jeremy Vine again.
[i]What's she doing with her hands to give Richard that smile on his face?[/i]
She smells of shopping trolly
CaptainFlashheart - Member
Guy Martin.
Filthy blasphemer.
Stephen Mulhern! 😯 Pathetic!
Jeremy Vine
Andrew Marr
The brunette Lass off the One Show
Adrian Chiles
The blond thingumywoman who presents that Footballish nonsence
Cat Deely
The tall orange one and his wooden clothes horse.
Oh, now, come on - Jeremy Vine is ace!

and +1 for the pic of VC!
Tony Robinson
Only saw Chiles for the first time presenting the Arsenal game at the weekend, he was total gash! Stumbling thourgh the teams etc like he had never heard of any of them.
That Ortis fella who did the gadget show. I seem to remember some real car crash telly where he was presenting athletics.... I think he was actually replaced soon after... Not seen him since actually.
Oh and the Winkleman woman... Can't stand her.
Claudia Winkleman.....dear oh dear!
Is it only me that stares at her eye make up wondering what on earth she has done?
susanna reid. pure dobber.
Winkleman and Davina McColl, although it is hilarious that at an early point in their careers some old hand has told them that gurning makes them look interesting as a joke, but they still continue to believe it. It is the equivalent of an apprentice being sent to stores for a left handed screwdriver or a tin of tartan paint, and still asking if they are in stock yet, 30 years later.
Good shout on Davina McColl
I'll go Davina McCall and Adrian Chiles again, both so self satisfied with no real indication of self consciousness.
Gillian McKeith. Now there was a shit-presenter and a fraud to boot.
Still not as bad as Gabby Logan, though.
Here's one I was struggling to think of earlier:
Whoever thinks Clarkson's a great presenter needs psychiatric help.
He's bloody awful. End of.
julia bradbury,
in fact all Countryfile presentsers except John Craven.
yeah i watch it on sundays ALRIGHT!
Anyone associated with football on ITV.
In fact, come to think of it, anyone on TV that isn't Jeremy Clarkson or Alex Zane.
although it is hilarious that at an early point in their careers some old hand has told them that gurning makes them look interesting as a joke
In Winkleman's defence (of her gurning, not of anything else) that searching squint she does into the camera is because she's practically blind, something like -14 eyesight, so struggles with the camera cue's, floor managers signals and so on.
Clare Balding - odious woman
The greengrocer from Masterchef and his mate with the fat mouth
And Simon Reeve aaaaaargh, he talks like a 5 year old
Oh, now, come on - Jeremy Vine is ace!
You are Hyacinth Bucket and I claim my £5 John Lewis voucher .
In no particular order :-
Sarah Cox
Jeremy Slime
Edith Eleanor Bowman
Bruce (I may be a zombie)Forsyth
The Top Gear Chums
George Lamb
Davina (please love me)McCall
Adam Buxton
Ladies and gentlemen, may I add Lisa Riley to the list.
She absolutely tops the lots for me.
Awful
Pretty much anyone who started out on Radio 1 or Blue Peter in the last decade
Bruce Forsythe is well past it now
That family fortunes Kaye bloke and his equally detestable wife
Richard Hammond (nominated purely for Wipeout, nothing else)
Most comedians do not make good presenters
What's wrong with Clare Balding?
Ladies and gentlemen, may I add Lisa Riley to the list.She absolutely tops the lots for me.
Awful
Let it go man! Clearly those scars run deep, but she hasn't worked as a presenter for over a decade - so unless theres a channel I don't know about that airs 12 year old episode of You've Been Framed then your safe to switch the telly on again. 😆
how dare you speak ill of victoria coren (mitchell)
She should have stayed in her original job (reviewing porn films) 😆
Another vote for that awful Welsh woman on the One Show - she's the main reason I cannot bring myself to watch it. Oh and can I add a weather presenter? For those in the North West, that Eno woman, I can't stand her accent and why does she dress as though she's off out to a night club? Just wear some normal clothes for god's sake!
Graham Little and Anna Glowinski from The Cycle Show.............. 🙁
Anna Glowinski from The Cycle Show
No, no, no, not Anna.
(I may have a bit of a girl-crush there, she did put her arm around my shoulder when I met her once.)
The greengrocer from Masterchef and his mate with the fat mouth
The Shouty Chefs. They're the victim of over-stylised production though - particularly the grotesque reaction shots, because all the other presenters of that show end up looking the same.
Michelle Roux Jr is worse

?w=460&h=250&crop=1[/img]
I'm reminded of those old photos of the poor guy getting is his brain zapped by Duchenne de Boulogne
There just seems to be a point during the filming of Masterchef where they just get the present to pull as many faces as they can to create an image bank of concerned faces to edit in later
Can't believe no one has mentioned Tess Daley,
or her hubby!
So many to choose from, be harder to think of a good presenter.
Chris "the Hawk" Hawkins - presents the pre-breakfast show on 6music in the week, sometimes gets the breakfast slot when the admittedly not great Keaveney is away.
Absolutely terrible - sounds like he's got a cold all the time and talks in a weird stilted rhythm that has no link to what he's actual saying. Basically unlistenable. I set my radio alarm to a different station if it will wake me up to his show. Terrible.
Adrian Chiles and Ant n Dec!
This far down the second page, and no-one's mentioned Portillo yet. I find this hard to believe. Has he died?
I also thought Stacy Dooley was crap, but watched that series she did on drugs and she stood up to some tough goverment reps trying to force the interview.
Clare Balding.

Quite liked his railway journeys series tbh.
No votes for Trinny and Susannah? I used to quite like Trinny's "small tits and no bra" thing, but I've even been put of that by the rubbish that comes out of her gob.
Tim Lovejoy
Just oozes that cocky football persona that I detest !
Jools Holland hasn't got a clue about presenting a show but he get's away with it in a passionate about music kinda way.IMO
Gok Whan...
I find Richard Bacon one of the most irritating individuals I`ve ever endured but never met !
H reminds me of Hartley Hare of Pipkins fame !
[i]he greengrocer from Masterchef and his mate with the fat mouth[/i]
Good call. Can't think of a more irritating pair of smug knobends.
Jools Holland hasn't got a clue about presenting a show but he get's away with it in a passionate about music kinda way.IMO
Plus he's been doing it for years - remember ch4's "the Word"? Even earned a broadcasting standards' rebuke for using the F word on a pre-watershed trailer.
the original brown eye-- dr wrong ! on embarassing bits
I can't believe no one has yet mentioned the talent vacuum that is Fearne Cotton.
I remember The Word - I don't recall Jools Holland being on it thought. I do remember him being quite good on The Tube though.
Michel roux Jr is achmed the dead terrorist.
Bill Oddie. Has anyone mentioned Alan Titchmarsh?
Janet Street Porter, not on TV so much now, but she loves the sound of her own voice, but doesn't realise that nobody else does:x
That family fortunes Kaye bloke and his equally detestable wife
Absolutely
