I love my tech but QVC's offerings are mediocre in the extreme. I occasionally dip into the tech hour but I see the same items repeated endlessly. After seeing the same items repeated in 3 separate programmes I lost all hope. If I do find something interesting there you can usually find it...

I only occasionally dip into this channel but tonight when I turned the telly on it defaulted to Gem Collector. I watched it open-mouthed for about 15 minutes until I couldn't take any more. Alex was chuntering away about his trip to Skegness and it went on and on and on.......it was relentless...

I gave up watching Gemporia a while back. I still dip into it every now and then but the CONSTANT adverts drive me crazy. I've sometimes watched the show for 10 minutes or so waiting for an actual product to come on but I've often been disappointed. It's ENDLESS adverts on a loop. Their sales...

Just watched a presentation for the Breville HotCup Hot Water Disperser. To try and make this item seem more fantastic than it actually is, the guest says 'We all know it, you boil a whole kettle of water for just 1 cup of coffee!' (check the video on QVC - 45 seconds into the presentation)...

QVC are getting ridiculous for their p&p. I have been prepared on several occasions to purchase something from them only to discover I'd be paying £5.95 (or more) for p&p. That stopped me dead in my tracks and I didn't proceed with the purchase. I did however buy a Lakeland heated clothes...

I watched the Morning Show on QVC this morning and had a good laugh. They were showcasing 4 fragrances from the French company Air D'Antan. The on screen details showed one of the fragrances as 'Douche'. I thought that can't possibly be right, nobody would be that stupid to call a perfume...

This is something that has ALWAYS irked me, and no one hair care range is to blame more than any other. They ALL irritate me. I remember Ojon using this particular trick back in the day but they’re all at it now. I’m talking about using professional hair models to demonstrate how good a...

A total shambles of a channel now. I switched it on last night and got nothing but Rocks & Co adverts on a never ending loop. I let it run for about 15 minutes to see if a presenter would kick in but it never happened. Turned it on this afternoon and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The...

Lakeland Dry:Soon 3-tier heated airer p&p A few days ago QVC were offering a Lakeland Dry:Soon 3-tier heated airer as its TSV. I missed out on the last time QVC had this as its TSV so not wanting to miss out again I quickly snapped it up. Since there weren't any reviews on QVC's own website I...

Have to say, since John Scott left I rarely watch this channel any more. He was easy to watch but since he left there really isn't anyone presenting the shows that I'm particularly fond of tuning in to. John was entertaining to watch which is not what you can say for the other presenters. I...

Be VIGILANT of their p&p I don't quite know what's going wrong with QVC but they're starting to make an awful lot of mistakes. I encountered this myself just last night. I had ordered their beauty pick of the month on 27th July. I ordered 2 items and it came to £90. As we all know...

I only occasionally now dip into Rocks & Co but I had it on yesterday and could only last about 5 minutes before I had to change the channel. There were 2 presenters on and one of them was Kieran. Someone should really tell him that he doesn't have to SHOUT ALL THE TIME. My ears were ringing...

I can't bear to watch her either. She's intensely irritating. She repeats the same words over and over again because I think she's trying to think of her next sentence. It seems that she comes from that same training school as so many others now where SHOUTING, and SCREECHING are the norm...

When I see her on the telly I immediately think of the Bride of Frankenstein (the Elsa Lanchester one). I can never concentrate on whatever she's trying to flog because I'm fixated on that awful hair. She really DOES need a best friend to tell her that it's way too severe and a dreadful colour.

I've just watched the 8 - 9pm Trinny & Susannah hour and the presenter (Marverine) apologised to us for Susannah's use of the word '******'. I thought I was watching a Sunday school teacher telling off a child for 'using a naughty word' (her actual words). Poor Susannah didn't even know what...
