Nitesh was on with Derek for the final two hours of the Clearance Sale this week. He was horrendous, just started gabbling faster and faster - and shouting too. The same thing over and over "This is amazing...fantastic...you will not believe this price". Not in any way informative. It was like a...

Heard one of the presenters mention HD in passing the other day, but no date given. Seriously though, another shopping channel taking up an HD slot on Freeview when we've lost the excellent AlJazeera and there's no room for Film Four. Not looking forward to Peter Simon bawling out "...and at...

As I live and breathe - it's like a flashback to 2009. :mysmilie_13::mysmilie_14: Mark Stewart (formally known as 'Wiggy' from Price Drop TV) has reinvented himself as TJC's 'resident chef' and has been helping flog a multicooker this morning. Poor man was visibly shaking like a leaf at the...

Looks like he's on for several hours today from 8 a.m. I've become quite fascinated with the man. I love him in the cheesy adverts, particularly the one where he's supposed to be scouring the globe for gems in some obscure location and it's patently obvious he got a Day Return to the coast to...

Just happened to catch this today as I had Gems on in the background (my new background burble of choice since the demise of Bid and Price Drop). Around lunchtime the presenter discovered a mistake in one of the on-screen descriptions...the item had been sold on four previous occasions under...

Though from the comments in this interview with the Metro from 2009 it sounds like an exercise in getting back at old colleagues at his previous employers. It's funny that despite mentioning how wonderful and professional it was "when I was at the BBC" many a time when he was at Bid, he comes...

I couldn't sleep last night (still on a high over our win against Chelsea), so got up and began to channel hop. There on the Jewellery Channel, just starting the graveyard shift (2 a.m. - 6 a.m.) on their 'Ruby Day', was Wiggy. Obviously as he's just recently joined the channel he doesn't have...

...just sacking the lot and simulcasting Ideal World across the three channels as a temporary measure? It's obvious the management want to make Bid into something of an IW clone, and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it's done with professionalism. The problems with Bid are the same...

If they are going to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch, the only way I can see them retrieving any credibility is : 1) For a start, a small up-market product base of well-known brands at decent prices. 2) Cut presenting costs to the bone and perhaps go down the IW route with 30...

From Steve MacDonald during a stint on Price-Drop, when questioned more closely by Yolisa about his claim to have been a grafter since his youth..."Yeah, I worked on the fairground rides when I was 13"...ahh, once a carnival huckster, always a ....!!

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I've seen Steve "Trust me, and you'll be rewarded" McDonald conduct them in the past couple of weeks and they're nothing like the "avalanches" of old. Previously, the price that the previous item sold for would be put on screen right at the...

This has to be the poorest quality line-up in the run up to Xmas that I've ever seen in the years I've been watching Bid. Surely the most crucial few weeks in the year for them as a business, when the channel should be putting on a real show with the best it can offer. But day after day it's the...

Remember not so long ago when Mike Mason used to tell viewers night after night that the clock in the corner of the screen wasn't there to pressure them into picking up the phone, but merely a device to assist him to move on to the next item? You wouldn't have thought so judging by last night's...

Jeez. He's been wearing it for at least the last hour under those baking studio lights - he must literally be basting in his own juices in that thing. Wouldn't like to be the Bid intern who has to take that away to get it laundered.

Just switched on and happened to catch an aside from Chris Birkett (?) on Price-Drop holding up two mini-Christmas trees and asking the floor crew if they should buy a few for the staff Christmas party..."a.k.a. the leaving do" he then went on to say. Is he going? The Price Drop channel ? Or the...

Caroline's catchphrase, guaranteed to get my hackles up if I have the misfortune to tune in when she's on in the morning...sometimes said up to five or six times during the closing minute of an auction. For God's sake woman, people are only phoning in, it's hardly one of the 12 labours of Hercules !

I'm on about ****** Christmas, of course...and today Caroline Lyndsay suggested that the candle gift set she was selling might be perfect to "put away for later...and I'm not even going to mention the "C word", because that would be terrible of me to do that as it's only July" Of course it's...

Gave it the big sell but conveniently forgot to mention throughout the entire pitch that it's a measly 5.1 Megapixel camera (not mentioned in the on-screen description either), with a tiny 1.8 inch screen. Went for around £26.50 all in. Looked like something out of the Ark. Surely only suitable...

I know I'm a latecomer to the forum, but I've done my fair share of Bid-bashing in the past few months...however in light of recent posts on here, I've begun to sense a feeling of bonhomie and goodwill towards the channel and all the presenters spreading through my very loins....the failure to...

Haven't noticed it being offered much in the last few weeks...I wonder if Bid got their fingers burnt by not doing credit checks and are having trouble getting the payments in? On an unrelated topic...Mark Ryes in for Andy tonight...ugggh !
