    Create & Craft closing 24th Feb?

    On Virgin there's a message saying C&C is closing 24th February. Not sure if that just means Virgin no longer showing the channel or if it's closing closing?

    Rob Locke coming back to TV

    It's a bit intriguing. He's confirmed it's not a selly telly channel. It's a presenting role on an ITV show with a shopping theme. All will become clear on the 8th December apparently. Someone joked is it 'This Morning' and Rob's confirmed the show's on later in the day.

    Use the Green Cross Code before you buy :)

    Think. Find a safe place to consider what you're doing. Stop. Just before you check out your basket, stop and once again consider what you're doing. Look. Look all around you to see if a better deal can be had elsewhere for the same or similar product. Wait. If the presenter keeps...

    Goodbye all :)

    With IW scheduled to disappear from Virgin, it's likely I'll rarely (if ever) watch it again. I don't have Freeview configured on my 'main telly' and tbh don't intend doing so. My spare room telly is rarely on and I've never watched IW online. So I'll take this opportunity to say goodbye to...

    1 gram 24 karat gold pendant, £349.99

    They're selling it right now as I type this. A 24 karat gold bar/pendant with a 9 karat gold 'free' necklace. Yours for just £349.99. The 'expert' selling it tells viewers he can't believe the price. Put it away as an investment, although he 'isn't giving investment advice.' He also says he'd...

    Angels

    I hopped on to this channel yesterday and they were flogging stuff relating to angels. They were making some very dubious claims about angels and the positive effects they can have on people. No doubt they keep themselves just on the right side of broadcasting laws with the garbage they spout...

    Sack your buyers IW!!!

    Those responsible for procuring the items for sale on IW need sacked. I'm not referring to the actual items ... although ... I'm referring to quantities. Why do I say this? Because time and time again when not long into an hour they'll say along the lines of: 'Okay, I need to stop things for...

    Viewers, please use Google FIRST!

    That would be my impassioned plea if I could speak directly to IW viewers. I'm far from a regular viewer these days, however a couple of brief cursory hops on to IW this evening during breaks on proper telly has highlighted the following: Vostok watch being sold for x (can't recall price)...

    A few general observations & rants ...

    My IW viewing levels are practically non existent these days, however if mainstream telly's got nowt on to my taste I'm still prone to the occasional hop onto shopping telly. Some observations and rants: 1. Couple of weeks back Peter was selling a 3D printer for something like £480. I kid...

    The presenters tell fibs!!!

    Watched a few mins of Peter presenting the tilty table thingy. 'This is great for someone like me, overweight, out of shape, adding to my back problems that your tilty table will help alleviate ...' MMmm, that's strange Peter. Overweight? Out of shape? But I thought all the keep fit stuff...

    Do any of you watch IW ...

    ... for long periods of time these days e.g. entire shows or close to entire shows? Or do you dip in for maybe 20-30 mins at a time? Or, are you like me, dipping in for maybe 5 mins max once or twice a week if that? I simply don't find any of it entertaining to watch any more. The presenters...

    who sells the most?

    As with any sales environment, the monthly league table of presenter sales probably varies. However, on average, if you were to rate the top 5 Ideal World presenters (main channel only) in terms of monthly sales figures (i.e. who has sold the most units) who would you pick and in what order...

    IW product range, new lines

    IW, like most shopping channels, tends to stick to the same core group of products falling into categories such as homecare, kitchen, clothing, jewelry, keep fit, garden. What kind of items, never seen before on IW and outside of the usual categories, do you think would maybe sell quite well?

    IW buyers

    ok I admit, my sarcasm mode is well and truly switched on for this post. On IW the other night, Mike Mason was selling something (no you don't say!!!) can't recall what, anyway it's irrelevant to my post. He hushed his co-presenter to urgently update us entirely for our own benefit and...

    Actress Sarah Parish on IW

    sorry if old news! At first I thought 'OMG talk about bagging a 'name' as a presenter' (yes I should have known ... I've given myself a slap don't worry!) then realised she's on as a guest with Rick to talk health and nutrition. I'm assuming she's flogging something, book, pills, cream, diet...

    I'm sorry but ...

    ... I simply HAVE to rant! Couple of disclaimers in the shopping channels defense, firstly I'm not their target demographic (nearing middle aged man that has never believed sales hype in his puff) secondly I fully appreciate there are folk out there who enjoy these channels and procure their...

    Vostok watches ... what a BARGAIN!

    yes, you read me right, a bargain I say, a BARGAIN! ... ... emmm, just not on IW :mysmilie_17: £1,399 is the IW price. :wait: clicky here clicky here and, if this is legit, check this price out granted, not sure what import taxes etc would have on some of those, but would surely still be...

    irritating presenter voices

    anne dawson (omg can any of you actually watch her for more than 30 secs without turning over or turning volume WAY down!!!) marverine cole, a weird nasally/droning combo.
