  • Hello, I just wanted to say that I always enjoy seeing and hearing Martin on the tv telling us where we are going wrong with our purchases and stuff, and the good advice he gives.

    Now, having said all that, why, oh why, doesn't Martin have a programme all to himself? Not every week, not even regularly, but why not when there is a sensational savings to be made, as he has shown us in the past on the Tonight programme? I want him to have his own show!

    The reason I am saying all this is because I am fed up of him being cut short by the media interviewers and presenters, just so they can waffle on about something quite unnecessary. Am I being awful? Maybe I am, but when Martin has been on I am not interested in the next item!

    He should be allowed to explain everything without rushing to cram it all in, in the short time that they give him. It happens every time. Even the longer show with Sir Trevor McDonald that was on recently, he had to get through it quite quickly. It would be easier to absorb the information Martin gives if he was given more time. Thanks folks, rant over.

    Well he has got his own show now but I won't be able to watch it unfortunately because we can't get Channel 5, not even with Freeview. I'll keep watching him on Lorraine though!

    I don't know, someone I know who lives 12 miles away gets it, bad reception here I suppose. The only people who can get it in this area are the ones with satellite dishes.
