Fed up with Kevin McLeod & Stephen Fry :(

Not the ABC, the KSC

Am I the only one who has noticed that the ABC’s summer (and other times, too) television programming is dominated by two incredibly irritating Pommy prats, Kevin McCloud and Stephen Fry?  I cannot bear either of them and yet, we have program upon program compered by these two self-centred half-wits.

Take Kevin McCloud (we call him Harry High pants, check out the early series) – what a green-obsessed, pretentious tosser.  The other night we caught a bit of a program where he was in effect berating the not-very-well-off couple for ordering a kit home.  What – not a kit home?  What they really should have done, according to Kevin, is commission an architect to design some completely impractical and expensive abode made out of driftwood and hemp.

And as for Stephen Fry, who evidently thinks Australians should be incarcerated because of our annoying accents (the upward inflexion at the end of sentences does not go down well with this Oxbridge educated bore), is on program after program, including the ridiculous and dreary QI.  This program really needs to be renamed  - NI.

To be frank, I would rather have repeats of repeats of some of the entertaining drama and comedy produced locally for the ABC – The Library, The Moodys, The Slap, The Time of our Lives, Upper Middle Bogan, etc.  Anything but more Kevin and Stephen.

by Judith Sloan.

I'm afraid I have to agree 100% with Judith's complaint. Weeks & weeks of re runs of Grand Designs & now they have gone back to when Kevin had hair. And Stephen Fry! OMG...  he's everywhere, pretentious bumptious snob, I'm so sick of him.

Gotta be kidding!

And I watch 3 episodes of QI every week, even though they're repeats

No I haven't and don't wish to ...though a poster did tell me to read it once

Can't say I did. It doesn't sound like I missed much.

tell us about the book Silverfaun ?

I love Stephen Fry and Kevin McLeod, they are the two greatest presenters on TV with unique shows that others can only dream about.

(When I am feeling really bogan ie wearing ugg boots, I will watch Top Gear, but don't tell anyone)

I want more repeats of QI we don't get enough and Kevin can be an architectural snob on my TV anytime.

No, don't

I didn't bother with Shades  of Grey either. I'm not a great fan of Kevin McCloud, but I do enjoy QI It's one of the few things on TV at the moment that I personally find worth watching.

BTW a cousin built a kit home about 30 years ago and it is still sniggered talked about today.

I haven’t read it and wouldn’t admit it if I did
