donuticus Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Having met a few very well known childrens TV presenters over the last couple of months. Why do I feel they are not exactly the kind of people I would feel comfortable leaving children with. Two have been down right odd and the other was a little to far on the wrong side of strange for my liking. Am I being a bit daft or does children's TV attract a particular type of person ?
Tess Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 i think childrens tv presenters are weird but not in the way you do lol. I dont know what goes through their heads when they apply for a job dancing around in a daft costume ON NATIONAL TV, i definately couldnt do it!

They're probably RADA graduates who started out with aspirations of playing Hamlet or Lady Macbeth. I suppose it pays the mortgage.

Yes, I think so. It's practically a job requirement that you have to be gay, for starters StarSparkle

One particular presenter that was up here was just plain creepy in a way that made me feel quite awkward.

swordfish1 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I know I saw Balamory with my nephew once, and thought "have these people no shame, no pride. Do they look at what they do every day and feel good about themselves?". That's probably why some of the kiddies presenters are off their heads on coke all the time.

I am chanting: Tell us more! Tell us more! Tell us more! You can't come here starting threads and not completely dish the dirt. Childrens TV presenters can't work computers anyways.... They're too busy making up songs about the skeletal structure of the human body and sunny days to know about computers. Spill it!
Rich Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I watched Teletubbies when it first started, purely out of curiosity, and I thought "What the hell am I watching?!", some obviously gay bloke in a purple suit, carrying a handbag and pretending to "eat" plastic toy toast! At least when I was a 5 year old we had the kind of stuff that's on channels such as Nick Jr nowadays.. Proper Children's entertainment.
