Unwatchable Personalities.

Are there any 'personalities' on TV who get on your nerves so much that you have to switch off the TV or leave the room, therefore rendering any programme they appear on totally unwatchable?

For me its Ant and Dec (no idea which is which, and frankly I don't care) Jeremy Clarkson and the two idiots who he has by his side, and Alan Sugar.......

..oh and that ex sidekick of Alan Sugar who has now made Countdown a complete no-no of a programme to watch. Bring back Jeff Stelling!
 
Keith Lemon....cannot stand him....he makes my flesh creep.
Jeremy Clarkson too....there must be others too, but they aren't springing into my mind right now.
 
Can't be doing with Graham Norton , Jonathan Ross and Paxman only on university challenge, but quite like him when he is giving politicos what for , seeing them squirm makes me laugh.
 
Clarkson is an utter and complete clown, can't stand the man, Didn't even know Alan Sugar was now on countdown gave over watching it after Richard Whitely died and Carol Vorderman went too, if Sugar hosts it now won't be back anytime soon.
 
Sorry folks, (probably get slated for this) but can't agree with you on Clarkson, he's blunt, obnoxious, always good for controversy & raising hackles & that amuses me as the howls & yammers of the indignant & offended make me grin, most of the yammerers are sanctimonious, so far up themselves arris'oles.

Plain speaking nowadays is constantly under threat & when someone speaks their mind (and if we're honest, it's also the view of quite a lot of other people, but those others daren't or are to scared to air their views for fear of being branded some kind of "ist") the false outrage is hypocritical to say the least.

If you're talking unwatchable, let's look at Politicos of any denomination you care to mention, self serving, lying, deceitful ....... need I continue ?
 
I have a 'thing' about the several young female presenters who have been chosen for their looks and how they sound wasn't considered.

Too many of them screech and I just have to switch off.

I choose not to find out their names. No doubt some of you regard them as 'celebrities'. I prefer to pretend they don't exist.

All of those too....and add Adrian Chiles and Chrisitne Bleakley to the list as well.

Son, I understand what you are saying and I defend your right to say it, but I have to disagree with you about Jeremy Clarkson......he isn't just blunt......I could cope with that. He is arrogant, opinionated, egocentric, and gives the impression that no-one else should have an opinion on anything.
That is how I see it anyway. Can't be doing with him. When he was born they should have kept the afterbirth and thrown him away.
 
With you there Dave, in a world full of the PC brigade it's nice to have someone who speaks a bit of common sense, I also find James May pretty old as well.

Now if we could just get shut of those fools in parliament and Merkel and Sarkozy (but not his wife!) the world would be a better place

Ya you can't fault Sarkozy's choice in Women BG, but on the other hand don't think much of her choice in Men:rolleyes:
 
The people who make me shudder and I really can't stand to look at are Keith Lemon and Lady Gaga, and from a different era but for as long as I can remember Charlie Drake - I can't even stand to say his name, I'm cringing at the thought of him as I write this!
I dislike Jeremy Clarkson and the other two idiots, John Cleese makes me want to slap him, Lee Evans and anything slapstick, Gordon Ramsay annoys me, the list goes on!!!

That's fine Ma, we can disagree but still stay friendly & cordial. I also defend your right to your opinions, I even wore a uniform at one point to allow you & others that right to have your say & defend the British way. :)

It's not Alan Sugar who does Countdown, but the bloke he had by his side on The Apprentice.

His condescending attitude makes my flesh creep.

Have to agree with you Dave, don't like Clarkson but I smile at his effect on people.

Yes what was it about Charlie Drake, I know what you mean! Also Lee Evans and slapstick. Lady Gaga too, but don't know Keith Lemon so can't comment, but Marg P obviously feels the same way.

Jay, Gynn beat me to it in correcting you about Alan Sugar - can't really see him doing Countown - it's Nick Hewer, his sidekick. Never watched the programme, couldn't stand Carol Vorderman.

Unlikely sex symbol Nick Hewer has revitalised Countdown - 3am & Mirror Online

Couldn't agree more Margaret.

Others I can't stand: Ant and Dec, Graham Norton, Alan Carr, Michael McIntyre, Gok Wan, "dynamic property experts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer", Jamie Oliver, Carol Vorderman see above.

Some of those slated on here I do like: Jeremy Paxman, Adrian Chiles when he talks about football, James May on anything, Gordon Ramsay.

Think that's enough to be going on with though there are one or two presenters on Radio 3 who really get up my nose but probably a bit highbrow to mention on here... :hidewall:
