Random musings and general banter.

I’d rather bid for the postage.

 

[cheeky chappie]

Wonder if all the new folks are on temp contracts or freelance, seems like a lot of permanent staff to take on for something that might end up just being a trial.

Are most of these folk not typically freelance?

 

[Jazzydrury]

Gen has announced Friday Fashion is back, like Its oscar winning tv, said how hard it’s been to get the team back together

 

[Deleted member 21838]

You wonder if they are being paid anything. Just the assurance that they will be if the trial is successful.

 

[Old Man Steptoe]

I wonder why they bother?
It’s just Ideal world on a very cheap budget!
Buyers Beware

At IW, the Shop Extra presenters were all on staff until the final few months when Shaun Crawley was taken off and made freelance. They’re all freelance at Shop Extra

The Bengalines are back

 

[harrytumkins]

Hi everyone hope all good

Just made a thread in the TJC forum if I have got the right end of the stick the Ideal name or at least channel may be back fairly shortly...

 

[Jazzydrury]

With TJC buying Ideal Worlds assets.Can we hope this is the end of Shop Extra, making it I guess the shortest time a shopping channel has lasted

Corded vacuum time, time to rubbish cordless.

Oh Simon and Shaun agreeing that the power on cordless vacuums at highest settings doesn't last long, barely 10 minutes, funny how they never mentioned that limiting fact during their hundreds of demos on IW with cordless vacuums.

 

[Jazzydrury]

I see it’s Watches and Collectables later

They think the viewers are too stupid to remember what they've said in the past about different products.

The presenters, but they seem to have a few of the backroom staff from IW as well, whom i would assume were IW staff, watch buyer Maria is there, and i recognise the names a couple of the show producer/director (or whatever they're called).

 

[Jazzydrury]

Anyway it’s watches

D.Anthony is in the house with his horology masterpieces.

 

[Jazzydrury]

At least with Gen presenting, not so much bollox is being said

 

[Herring]

Oooh, a Tourbillion!

“Because it’s Swan and Edgar the design is totally sublime”, says the horological expert.

He says when you have a Tourbillion you’ve taken a right turn, you’ve taken your seat in first class, and someone’s handing you a glass of champagne.

 

[Herring]

Wonder how some of these Shop Extra folk are feeling about the corpse of Ideal World being reanimated. Did they sell their soul to the right channel?

 

[Jazzydrury]

Cant see Shop Extra lasting past its trial
