Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I've never seen either of them but with all the problems currently going on in the world, do two insignificant, overpaid people really matter very much? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Not my kind of programme, and I don't have any opinion of P & H, but it was bad planning by the TV company to not foresee the possibility of what might happen. And I don't understand why the tabloids pounced with such ferocity, and went on about it for so long after the event...... as if all those journalists have never done anything wrong themselves. Words like Storm and Teacup come to mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RadFordee 68 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Can't say I'm a fan of either of them, but I have always thought that the British press just love to put people like them on a pedestal when it suits them, only to take great delight at knocking them off at the slightest hint of any kind of wrong doing. The saying "the bigger they are the harder they fall" springs to mind. It sells newspapers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 That's why I watched on TV RadfordDee, instead of taking up me personal invite. I've now got 75 pictures to keep as a record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh!! Don't watch much telly - have lots of other things to do I do watch C4 news at 7, Also Breakfast on the beeb - usually when I'm rowing or cycling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RadFordee 68 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 0I don't watch either of the programmes I mentioned PP. Like yourself I don't watch much tv at all and never daytime telly, with the exception of the coverage of The Queen's death and funeral. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Like them or not, Schofield has now been dropped by We Buy Any Car so you won't see him on their adverts any longer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I went to see the musical ‘Joseph’ at the London Palladium many years ago and Philip Schofield was in the starring role. He was very good I thought. (Also went to see the same musical with Jason Donovan as Joseph -enjoyed that one the most!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glancing through the on-line UK newspaper I am amazed at the coverage given to Wibbly Wobbly and Full-up Snowfield. Are people in the UK really interested in all this tosh about two people who didn't/don't have a real job and got paid exorbitant amounts of mullah for doing bugger all. The UK papers are totally devoid of any real news, can anyone suggest one worthy of looking at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hey Arnold 88 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Unfortunately there is a significant portion of the UK population that is obsessed with the lives of so called celebrities and anyone other than themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I wonder how many 'normal' people are actually interested in the story. I suspect it may be that journalists think people want to know - or have decided that everyone will be told, when in fact it's only those working in the media who have any interest in the matter.

Stuart.C 491 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Don't worry, the news focus seems to be shifting to the Ex Royal and his Court case now. Ukraine should be getting back to the no.1 news item soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 A total waste of space. Why people are so obsessed with other folks' dirty washing is beyond me. They must lead very dull lives. The lesson here? Don't put people on pedestals. They're just people, like everyone else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody 552 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 A lot of these so called stars who are vastly overpaid need to learn the programmes they present are not about them but the features in general. Most of them have very average talent and actually believe the hype the PR crews put out about them, then don't like it when they are exposed as something very different.

Oztalgian 3,292 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I see that Wibbly Wobbly has quit "This Morning", probably big news in the UK but I wonder why it got any coverage here. Except for any ex-pats who follow the UK news 99% of the people who live here don't know who she is and don't care that she has quit the show. Not nice about the stalking though, no-one should have to suffer that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Given the horrendous mess the world is in at present, who cares what some simpering, blonde haired bimbo is doing. I don't like the expression 'bimbo' but, for goodness sake, do we really need images of her inane grin, clad in sequins on every front page? There are far more serious things to write about, surely. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I normally would have no interest in anyone who falls into the category of Willoughy-alikes; people who make the headlines simply for being there. But in her case I’ll make an exception this time. Since it was announced that a psycho-nutter has been arrested for plotting to kidnap and murder her, she's found herself in the news for all the wrong reasons, so deserves some sympathy. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
