    Seriously is their any day of the week this fella is not on the tv?

    He bugs the living daylights out of me!! He has the This morning gig 4 days a week I think, the cube, mr & mrs, dancing on ice and probably more I can't think of at the min...

    I don't know why they rate him so highly at itv? I mean seriously their has to be other presenters out there that can do the cube better than he does. I like the games in the show but I got turned off it constantly watching him presenting it..

    Anyone else feel the same?

    I think Phillip is a very good presenter.

    He has bags of experience and he still does a good job. Very good at handling live Television (apart from the paedophile list incident), he is a good interviewer and is popular with viewers. He is on TV because he is good at it.

    I can't see anyone presenting The Cube better than Pip... not when the show has been on for four years now.

    And have you ever seen him doing any of the stuff he's done for the Beeb - the Broom Cupboard and Going Live! in the '80s and early '90s, of course, and Winning Lines and Test the Nation (alongside Anne "You Are The Weakest Link, Goodbye" Robinson) in the first half of the 2000s?

    Yeah, going with the general consensus here, I'd be a fan too. Very likeable guy, seems genuine, good at what he does and has survived a long career lull in the mid to late 90's iirc. Works well both alone and with a female co-presenter.

    It's probably not fair on a lot of presenters trying to break in that he has such a monopoly on ITV programmes, but if he's good at what he does and so many people like him them you can understand why they use him so much.

    I think he's a great presenter, love The Cube.

    Most Irish presenters come across as either:

    Smarmy - "aren't you just great?" patronizing.

    We're all up from the country for the craic:
    "Good man Seamus, give the wheel a big spin there."

    or love over-pronouncing Gaelic words:
    "Uimmhir a seachkt", "PortLeeesh", "Dunne na nGaaaalll".
