    It's not limited to any stations..

    ..and by the way, Gamezville is on Sky 1.. not Channel 4.

    I agree with Davina and Dermot. The women on the show Loose Women ITV at lunchtime are good.

    I hate that twat from Winning Streak - noooooooooooo
    :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,208 ✭✭✭✭aidan_walsh


    Good: Miriam O'Callaghan

    Bad: Those two f*ckwits taking over from the puppets on the Den. She wouldn't be so bad if she'd plug one ear so you couldn't hear the wind whistle through the empty space...

    Oh God no!!! It's like listening to a group of cackling oul ones outside a shopping centre!

    I'd definitely go for Dermot. I've been well impressed with the way he's presented BBLB this year very proffessional and funny. Craig Doyle is quite good too. But you really can't beat the giants like Brucie!!

    Don't get me started on the tramp second from left... :mad:

    Don't think so - they seem like real amateurs! Like they were just picked from an Arcade and asked to present a show..

    The only games shows i remember on Channel 4 were Bits (presented by 4 women) and Gamesmaster (anyone else remember this?)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 bubblymc


    From that picture the one in the middle is still there but there others aren't. That one Jane McDonald (the singer from the boat) was one of them, but I didn't know the others

    Obviously the blonde one is the main presenter, I think her name is Kathy Adams.

    It must of been because they presented "The Games" which was shown on Channel 4 that made me think that "Gamesville" was on Channel 4.

    ah of course, Dominic Diamond and a 'heavy' dose of Patrick Moore for instant gravitas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Dermot O Leary is very good at what he does

    as for the **** presenters dont think i could mention them in one post
    ****tards from gamezville
    derek mooney
    davina mc call
    that one who does the european weather
    shirley temple bar
    bill o herlihy
    peter collins
    etc. etc. etc. etc.

    i love the way they try to come over all 'Sex and the City', dropping sexual innuendos everywhere, 'oh i need it six times a day' following by a explosion of crowd cackles...

    incidentally hasselhoff was on it last week. anyone see it? ;)

    My estimation of Derek Mooney went through the roof last March when he was presenting the Paddy's Day Parade.

    He was walking around talking to a load of people in the crowd when he got to this A-typical "Oh my God!!!, it's soooo amaaaazing to be in Eyerland!!" female "Yank".
    So he's there talking to her asking if she's enjoying herself when he stops and says to her,
    "You look extremely like a very famous TV personality here in Eyerland".
    "Really?"
    "Yeah"
    "And who would that be?"
    "A lady called Shirley Temple Bar!!"

    Pure class, your woman hadn't a clue, she just thanked him and he went on his way winking at the camera!!


    Speaking of STB, who the hell picks the presenters for RTE?? Whoever it is needs to shot! I always get the urge to throw something at the telly whenever he/she's on!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,479 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms


    well lets not forget about this man:
    marty.jpg

    RTE were mad to axe his show. Whelan was like a golden cashew nestled in a cheap bag of monkey nuts.

    s/he was presenting it when i was chennel hopping last night or the night before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,004 ✭✭✭Big Ears


    best: Dermot O'Leary , Richard Hammond (from Top Gear) , and Richard Keys(Sky's main soccer presenter) .

    worst : Gamezville people ( J and Daz , picked up from the hood :rolleyes:) , Derek Mooney .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,479 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms

    Worst: Jeremy Clarkson, Ian Wright


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,002 ✭✭✭bringitdown


    Oh come on! There are thousands and thats just RTE/TV3 ;)

    Worst:
    Gerry Ryan (atrocious on TV)
    Marty Whelan
    Pat Kenny

    There are more but my all time worst is: the guy that used to present 'its not the answer' who isnow on morning TV most annoying smiley fupper, Alan summat.

    Best:
    Uncle Gaybo, had his bad points and moments but generally pretty class.
    John Bowman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,479 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms


    That reminds me, Aidan '5 bellies' Cooney and Gerry '5 chins' Ryan do deserve a mention. I bet Ray Darcy has dark secrets too.

    David MacWilliams is the best irish news/current affairs presenter bar none.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,956 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    Worst Presenters :
    Miriam Bangles O Callaghan
    Davina Slapper Mc Call
    Ian Eejit Wright
    Zoe Big Ears Ball
    Ryan Asshole Tubridy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭Davey Devil

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I believe 'da boyz' from Gamezville started out modeling underpants in the Kays Catalogue, 'my friend'

    But I'm sure we're all agreed that the Games Guru himself is simply outstanding....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,254 ✭✭✭chewy


    jeremy clarkson is brilliant an arse but a brilliant presenter...

    cat deeley not just for the looks

    used to be davina in her mtv days...

    mel sykes +
    des oconner

    johnny nad denise are so annoying, so you made it big in musicals in america get over it and stop doing all the whooshing when presenting the show

    best presented show ever was mtv dance with that wierdo who now does efourum where he's good but can' t bable as much

    philip scofield and yerone for taking the piss so much on morning tv

    Russell Brand.

    Have to agree he's absolutley hopeless on that show, keeps messing up and stumbling over his lines, although he was absolutely hilarious when he done the Dance thing on MTV. I used to love the way he'd wind up clubbers that were off their faces. Very Funny Indeed!! :D

    i disagree wholeheartedly with that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,225 ✭✭✭Scruff


    The sports news presenter with a jaw like a concrete block on TV3's IrelandAM morning show should be shot he's so bad
    /Scruff backs into a corner cowers and screams "Stop looking at me" in embarrasment at the fact he watchs this show as he struggles out of bed for work :o

    Your dead right though, i saw him last week reading the news and he made something like 6 mistakes in 2 minutes. The ****er cant read, youd imagine that reading would be a required skill for a news reader.

    plus his jaw is worse than coultards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,077 ✭✭✭parasite


    i think we have a winner with that tv3 guy. i've never seen a more blatant example of someone hired for their looks, not one single sentence not stumbled over :confused:
    die tv3

    Arghh no! She's like a horse mixed with a hyena and he's like the uncle who stinks of tobacco and who you only see at christmas...if you're lucky.
    But mel was okay on The Vault.

    Best is Dermot O Leary, not too loud, not too boring, not too desperate. All of which Davina is.
    Jimmy Carr on Distraction. Pure Class.

    Worst are all the one's on RTE...especially Shirley Temple Bar! What the hell is he/she doing on TV! Well at least he's/she's on probably the worst program on TV...And have you noticed that she never blinks. :eek:

    And I think we're forgetting some people...
    antanddec_funny150.jpg
    Nuff' said.

    It's Ant and Dec in case you can't see.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    i like watching Vernon KAy and Jimmy Carr. I like Carrs dry wit. Distraction is good and original.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Vernon Kay and June Sarpong should be encased in concrete and sent to the bottom of the ocean...although you'ld probably still manage to hear Sarpong's voice from down there....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    I have to draw a line in the sand, stand up and be counted and say a word in defence of mah boyZ Darren Malcolm and Jamie Atiko!

    Sure they're incompetant! Sure, they're ugly! Sure, they probably think 'rehersal' is a city in Finland, but c'mon!

    I have to say I enjoy their natural style and successful projection of just being a couple of genuine geeza's talking rubbish and 'avin a laugh.

    So lets here it for the boyz
    - and here's hoping they go onto bigger and brighter things televisually speaking!
    comps.jpg
    And now that I think of it that Sarah one is a bit of all right! Mmmmmm...





    ...oh yeah, and now for the worst
    =====
    Davina McCall : There's something slightly 'evil' about the woman and she doesn't do quite enough to hide it.
    Mark Little : Obnoxious little pr1ck who presents Prime Time and seems to love the sound of his own voice considering he uses to interupt his interviewee's on average every 3 seconds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 622 ✭✭✭Quatre Mains


    Good presenters; Bill O'Herlihy, David McWilliams

    Bad; Eamonn Dunphy (who just licked his guests arses), the guy who did RI:SE, Laura Bermingham, Angus Deayton(who I used to like).

    Worst; the aul one who does the food slot on Ireland AM, she is like the granny from hell; and Kerry McFadden(please put your tongue away).

    That story about Derek Mooney on Paddy's day is classic :D . I'm not going to put him or Marty Whelan in the bads cos they are well-liked by older people, and they need Television Almighty just as much as us.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭ChumpStain


    Best:
    Emma Griffiths off MTV, because shes freaking hot.
    Alex Zane because hes funny
    Dermot O'Leary because he knows what hes doing

    Worst:
    Games Guru aka 'Struggling Actor'
    "Daz" And "J" off Gamezville


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,286 ✭✭✭SprostonGreen


    From the 80's - Where in the World, a geograhpy quiz show( I'm not joking). I think her name was Theresa Lowe.

    She was piss poor, thick as **** and couldnt present. - The worst ever.

    Surprised Terry Christian hasnt been mentioned.

    Who is the Guru fella? Im not even much of a gamer and I give Gamezville a look now and again for these two alone.


    Best and worst list later when the hangover passes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,426 ✭✭✭Roar


    i actually quite enjoy gamezville, i watch it in the mornings before i head to work. the guru makes me laugh. i hated jay and daz to begin with, but they become more bearable the longer you watch it

    you think they are ugly?? eh?.hmm me thinks they are quite attractive.generally these days you can't be on telly without being at least a bit good-looking.terrible really.
