I expect that Stuart, his Intonation, and demeanour in general does get on the b....y nerves of many others as well Mik. What one has to remember though, as far as 'Accrington Stanley...Exactly' was concerned, is that Firstly as a professional presenter of long standing, particularly in the North West of England, any Director of this sort of Documentary programmes would look to Stuart's 'persona' as being eminently suitable for the
presenter's task !.. This would be why he was given the job !.
Secondly, any performer is only as good as the material which his or her writer(s) provide for them. It is not surprising then that in many of the 'scenes' where Eric,
Mick, and Rob et al were not involved in the fascinating
dialogue on screen, Stuart's flowery and 'homely' description of the action did tend to grate a bit on the senses !. The Writer attempting to match Stuarts' 'delivery' !
I know that Stuart Hall is a committed and hard-working Broadcaster, and always gives of his best to whatever programme he is involved with. But, like other performers he has created for himself a style to which he feels he has to conform, an 'Image' to maintain, and thus is bound to have his detractors !.
That you don't seem to care for this style matches my
feelings towards Bruce Forsyth, amongst others. But isn't this what all branches of the performing arts engenders in us all ?. A personal appreciation or rejection of the Actors, Singers, Dancers, AND documentary presenters who parade before us,' doing their thing'.

I have liked Stuart Hall since I first came across him over 40 years ago. He was on Crystal Palace's books as a young prospective footballer I recall.

He introduced us to legends such as Fred Dibnah "more scared about backing my land rover out of that car park" he said on his first appearance and Ray Rush.

May be Eric is his next media star.

lol ..... I had a similar thought this morning that maybe an astute filmographer could make Eric into something of a media star. The language would need removing but he does have a dead pan style of humour that would go really well on the right kind of platform

Never liked Stuart 'Hypo' Hall

Your wrong there Macca - Mick Schulz does not swear. He may suffer from tourettes occasionally, but never stoops to that kind of language!!!
