Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Are we saying that it is the general feeling regarding camp TV presenters and that the perception of them is that they are deemed likeable as a result?

Why actors and actresses walk about in programs with obvious empty coffee cups and Pretend to drink from them. Why can't they just fill them with water or something as you can totally tell they are empty :-(

I don't have a problem with "camp" TV presenters, just untalented, unfunny ones.

Joe Lycett (Hugo Boss), Julian Clary, Tom Allen, Noel Fielding, Steven K Amos, Stephen Fry etc etc are all to a greater or lesser extent "camp", but all talented and watchable.

The likes of Alan Carr, Graham Norton, Rylan and before he popped his clogs, Dale Winton, just seem to be on television because they are "camp" and display no obvious talent.

(In my opinion)

I would put Graham Norton and Dale Winton on the fence, and move Steven K Amos into the unfunny list, but otherwise agree with you

But also accept it's subjective and accept that those I don't like are on TV because they have a following who do like them

Can't stand Tom Allen, to the point I will actively turn over the telly if he's on the panel.

[I know I live in a bubble - Joe Lycett (Hugo Boss), Tom Allen, Noel Fielding, Steven K Amos, Rylan - who are these people ? I didn't know Dale Winton was dead]
