Guests speaking to the camera

[user 22184]

I'm talking about guests in the studio, not appearing via webcam.

The presenter will ask a question and the guest replies to the camera. Michael Perry was doing this to the adorable Will Gowing this afternoon. It looks rude. The worst guest for doing this is the one with the scarf round his neck, the one who appears on Gardener's World occasionally. He looks to me like he'd prefer to be doing the show on his own without presenters interrupting him. I might be on my own with this one.

As for Will Gowing, he's a very good presenter and I really like him.

I agree about Will Gowing he’s lovely but I have never watched a gardening show.

I tend to only watch gardening and tech. Has QVC ever sold clothes for men? I feel a bit left out.

Qvc are sexist. There's nowt for men. Even tech is aimed at women.

Will is very good and like him presenting! Cannot watch Michael Perry - so turn off when he's on, really can't put my finger on it!

I'm sure there are plenty of men who buy fashion, jewellery & make up from the Q for their own personal use.

Why do you feel left out. Do you see yourself in gaudy elasticated polyester or one size fits all oversized garments?

What is the difference between women's tech and men tech? Not sure of your experience but that is a nasty remark and totally uncalled for.

Ages ago a presenter was on no idea who but the guest no idea who did exactly the same, but the presenter quite abruptly said look this way please
Right up until this I hadn’t really noticed the guest wasn’t allowed to talk directly to the camera

QVC should train their guests not to speak directly to camera and if they persist, give them a warning. It's very rude, ignoring the person who spoke to them and they should be told - off-camera. I don't like it either, madcatman, and it puts me off the person who's doing it. Let's get some manners going here.

 

[Boris Bear]

QVC should give plenty of feedback e.g. paintented is not a word, nationality has no relevance to skin tone, next to none does not mean the same as second to none and many more. I think the guest should talk to the presenter but it can just be pointed out to them politely off-air.

Haha, definitely no! In my mind I'm a dead ringer for Tom the horny hunky garden designer, but in reality I look more like the tech guy with jet black hair and glasses.

Most of the guest presenters have been actors also speaking directly to the camera makes the viewer feel Oh they are talking to me. Selling technique.

Drag Queens wouldn't be seen dead in QVC's so-called fashion they have more taste and style. Hell, 99% of women wouldn't either.

Why do they sell nothing or little for men? Well, their main viewers are women they are the ones buying from them.

If that's a selling technique, it doesn't work for me.

Lordy, I'm not going down the drag queen rabbit hole. Ruth Langsford's bob hairstyle is popular.

I'm sure more men would watch if there was something for them to watch. Show us nice men's watches, Tag Heur for example. More car maintenance shows too. I'd love anything like that. Hell, I even switch to IW occasionally if they're showing car cleaning kits, which they seem to do a lot. I can't stop buying microfibre cloths!

It was found a few years back the bigger sellers on QVC are beauty, fashion and jewellery. So QVC ran with those and few tech shows now which are unisex. They are a shop so will push things that sell and make them money. The brands on QVC want to go with them, many brands do not because of the MBG.

You should watch Ideal World they do car items and men's watches quite a lot.

I think Q has done a few men’s clothing items in the past. I remember Glen presenting some puffer jackets and gilets. It was a few years ago.
Then there is the token men’s slippers around Christmas .
I believe Joules is bring its men’s range to Q.They were talking about it a few days ago.

The positive comments about Will Gowing reminded me of posts from some time ago when he was described as Alison Young's poodle

I think that is how Alison Young treats him . When he was new he was doing tech and helping her with that.
Hopefully he has matured into his own person and a stand alone presenter.

He's knowledgeable, but I cannot stand his way of speaking.

"Plant your bulbs free times the depf of the bulb."

Please, stop pronouncing th as f.

Are we a hard bunch to please on here?

Your "resident beauty expert" is as hard as flint. I didn't know of Will Gowing until a few months ago. He was probably in awe of her.

I'll look out for that. Thanks.

I do watch these hours on IW but then buy my microfibre cloths from Poundland. Cheapskate that I am.

Q used to sell Skagen watches, but I haven't seen them for quite a while.
