16 May 06 - 05:03 AM (#1741606) Subject: RE: BS: Latest Expert Commentator The BBC From: greg stephens The clueless expert seems a simple extension of the well-established principle of the gormless presenter. TV companies now, having done the research, all apparently believe that in order to appeal to the stupid and ignorant viewer it is a great idea to have stupid and ignorant presenters, even on programmes of quite specialist interest. I thought Mr Goma did rather well in this BBC interview actually, since he was apparently only in the building on cab-driving business and was a bit non-plussed to be asked about lawsuits and Apple computers. |

16 May 06 - 05:33 AM (#1741616) Subject: RE: BS: Latest Expert Commentator The BBC From: John MacKenzie Yes I heard a piece on this on Radio 4 the other day, absolutely hilarious. Mind you I remember when they got Elvis Costello onto TV to interview him about Sid Vicious. He said to the interviewer on air, "I don't know why you've got me here to answer questions on a guy I never met" The interviewer then said they were both into the same music and he thought Elvis would have a view on it. Guess which interviewer/researcher didn't know the difference between Punk and New Wave? Remember the blow up photo of Jocky Wilson the fat Scottish darts player on Top of the Pops, instead of Jacky Wilson, when the song Jacky Wilson Says was in the hit parade? Giok |
