I've long been interested in the sort of themes and lifestyle changes promoted by Steve Bennett on this new channel. Whether or not Selly Tele is a viable platform to sustain this particular venture remains to be seen but he has had a book published promoting his Primal Cure theories and a...

Do they have a works Xmas party? In fact, do any of the shopping tele channels have a Xmas party?

This is a good thread. It's interesting to note some of the reactions when pre conceived ideas are challenged and rebuffed.

I imagine the presenters don't all live near the studio so do they travel in every day for their stints or do they work blocks of shifts and have to stay in nearby hotels?

More or less as I thought. Thanks. On another note, roughly how much are presenters paid?

Go on then. Explain "limited stock" and "we're at the busiest part of the show." I'm guessing both these phrases are used with a certain amount of license?

Fair enough. I did try and bale out but if people keep quoting my posts then of course I'm going to reply. Like you say there's not much to add anyway. Not only because it's all been said, not only because we've exhausted the subject matter, not only because we're at the busiest point in the...

Really? These comments came from this thread and they're not exactly complimentary are they? It turns out that one possible anagram for this word combination is ‘Vain Face Grinder’. What pedigree has he outside of the seedy TV shopping network bubble? stupid name Shlock gave his perfumes...

Sorry I don't have knowledge of the specific incident you're referring to re Sally Jacks and Peter Simon but to be honest I don't care. If people were out of pocket because they didn't receive goods they'd paid for in good faith then of course they have my sympathy (personally I always pay by...

I'm not overlooking anything. Personally I couldn't give a @#!* if Bid TV had a rubbish business model or charged extortionate rates for their phone lines. People tuned in, they made their own choices about what they bought and how much they paid. More fool them if they paid a gazillion...

Silly me for trying to write something positive, I forgot that's not the way things roll here. I like his aftershave, I thought I'd share my review and give him some kudos. You don't like it because he once sold Charlie at a pricepoint you thought was too high, and you don't like Peter Simon...

He doesn't seem to come on here these days which is understandable. Why not ask him on his Facebook page?

Some of the posts here show a level of animosity towards him that I don't personally understand. I don't do Facebook but my wife had a look on his page after we bought Matinée Idol and it appears that he interacts with people on there. Why not post your suggestions and feedback on there? I'm...

Role models come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life and aren't just limited to your rather narrow description. I would say that someone starting their own business from nothing in a very tough industry is a role model yes. Somebody who is fed up of just "selling stuff" and has...

Really? Are we reading the same thread? Anyway, I've nothing to add to what's been said. I hope he does well.

Yes but marketing costs money. Lots of money. Peter Sherlock clearly doesn't have the budget, even for a small scale advertising campaign targetting niche magazines or web sites. It doesn't seem unreasonable then for him to sell via a medium he knows well and to people who recognise him in...

It matters if he's passing judgement on it and has zero knowledge of the most important thing about it, namely what it smells like. Basing a decision on buying perfume on Peter Simons personality or Bid TV's selling tactics strikes me as bizarre.

Fair enough. But you haven't smelt any? I've got the aftershave and it's great.

Not that seedy that it gets in the way of you watching it though Greg? How do yo square that circle? What qualifies you to comment on Peter's fragrance range. Have you ever smelt any of them?

Thanks for the reply. Given what you say then Peter Sherlock's range doesn't seem over priced. The only debate then is whether they smell any good and whether you'd take a punt without smelling it first. I did and I'm not diappointed. I think the issue is whether it's fair to judge his...
