    I preferred Leslie, before she got her trout-pout.

    Another fabulous reason to record programs and skip over the annoying adverts or boring voiceovers. Can't escape them all but enough to stop me grinding my teeth.

    I've had quite enough of watching her on her jollies around Cornwall, (mostly talking to rich Londoners in their second homes) and now she's tramping around the National Parks, telling us all what a lovely time she's having.

    Also making the majority of residents in Cornwall cringe with embarrassment as the programme was nothing like the real lives of most people here.

    Leslie Ash was lovely before she had that silly lip job!

    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.

    David Morrisey is doing loads of voice overs at the moment too. You'd have thought he was too busy with zombies too.

    All the ads I keep hearing are voiced by Anna Friel.

    I keep hearing David Mitchell with the occasional Bill Oddie...

    But as Ilona said, for an actor you can't blame her for taking on the work if its offered. For most, they can never be sure that suddenly the public will find a new face to take over. The people who ought to be annoyed are the working TV presenters (maybe on regional ITV) who would like to move into national presenting work but are competing with actors and comedians who get the work because they are a familiar face to the audience but not necessarily the best at broadcasting factual info.

    The other factor is that there may be a gap of months between something being recorded and transmitted - so when we see/hear the same person repeatedly, it could actually be 18 months worth of work for them being squashed into 3 months of viewing for us.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I'll see your Caroline Quentin and raise you Louie Spence.

    Yes, you're gay, well done. I don't see Stephen Fry poncing about like a tit foaming at the groin at the first bloke he sees.

    Actually I get a giggle at watching that wee eejit but I can see it's all an act.
