Flicked over about quarter of an hour ago and our resident know-it-all Peter Vol-au-vent was on with Genevieve, the pair of them selling a drinking water bottle. He really is like the proverbial unflushable turd that won't go away! Why on earth does it take two people to sell that item?

Peter V the dashcam expert now. Is there no end to his talents? I can't understand having him there with Jeremy. Presumably he isn't working for free?

If only the kids in the gallery would press the mute button,resident expert steeling a living as usual,now waiting for rattan season to begin

I know where I'd like to stick that crevice tool

 

[Jazzydrury]

Peter V must realise what a joke he is, the amount of times he is on now, even the dumbest of viewers must know he isn’t a true expert

The only thing I can assume is that, in the world of selly telly, their analysis over the decades has shown that having 2 x presenters i.e. the presenter and brand ambassador/expert is better than just having 1 x presenter? Before I get shouted down I'm not saying it 'is' better especially depending on who the duo are, I'm just saying behind the scenes it's perhaps known in the industry that a duo is often better when it comes to generating sales?

Pouring all day in London but we don't have the gale thankfully.

I'm sure 1 (or 3!) won't hurt occasionally.

Conversations (albeit still directed at the viewer) between 2 probably does work better as something to watch than one presenter "lecturing the viewer".

2x the BS, but far less staring like a madman down the (blurry) camera!

Also, to a degree, I wonder if it depends on the capabilities of the main presenter? Some struggle to present convincingly on their own... Emma comes to mind, and Pedro (he never knows how anything works, can't finish a sentence, and rarely tells you about the products just spurious made-up scenarios/savings/people he knows swear by it/it's the best product he's brought to air/etc).

On a related note, Joe was saving Pedro yesterday during a water cup show. Pedro kept boasting how "you will pay £75 for one of these elsewhere" and Joe would then caveat "…for the well-known brand* one, which is also much larger than this one is".

*Stanley, for anyone wondering. Google 'Stanley cup craze' and you'll see how INSANE people go for those. Non-brand, imitation ones? Eh, people don't go quite so insane for those . Like anything designer, the "appeal" for those showing them off on social media/at the gym/work is having the real brand.

The 2 presenter format works well on TJC, when they pair Andy with Carmel, Caroline, Jenny, Lianna or Chris. It doesn't work when the Jewellery buyers are part of the 2, and it doesn't work when Peter Sherlock is on Teams or Zoom Co presenting a beauty show. It doesn't work on IW3 because you then have 2 bullshitters going OTT. On TJC, they just sell the items, whilst having a laugh, no hard sell, and zero BS.

Some of the duos reminds me of Ken and Kenneth (suits you, sir) from the fast show

The formula has worked incredibly well on QVC for years. No surprise that everyone else is adopting this template.

Andy with Carmel, Jenny or Chris are by far my favourites, whatever they are selling, I will watch.

He makes a depressing, dull day even more so

 

[Gooner1963]

Not even a new pair of trainers he is showing the soles are grafted the budget must be nil

 

[Gooner1963]

He's struggling again today repeating most sentences because he can't think of anything to say & doesn't stop touching his face for some reason he's not cut out for selly telly
