TV presenters you're "into"

[Low_Key]

Inspired by the Simon Reeve comment on another thread, any that you're so into you'd watch everything they do?

I'm not really talking about comedians doing stand up. More the likes of Attenborough, Theroux, Yentob.... Stacey Dooley perhaps?

I went through a Jamie Oliver spell for a bit. Loved him. I don't even like cooking. It passed though.

did you know that alan yentob's surname is actually botney and he changed it for TV to sound more interesting

Anything with Louis Theroux is golden, in my eyes.

Away from telly and onto YouTube, I think i've watched nearly every Tom Scott video. Doesn't matter what it's about, he always makes it informative and entertaining.

Probably three ladies already mentioned

Hannah Fry
Alice Roberts
Lucy Worsley

Oddly at the moment I find that I can think of no gentleman that would fit this specification.

Can I add Lisa Hilton as a sub

Dan Cruickshank, Waldemar Janusazczak, Brian Cox(go to see him at the Globe in Feb)
Narrators like Attenborough who doesn't like him?
Paul Vaughan, Bernard Hill, Rebecca Ferguson are all very good too

But to be fair there is some great stuff by lesser know people on You Tube nowadays

Don't like watching Miss Worsley, its not the rhoticism nor bow legs, I just cant abide Monarchist sycophantically droning on of any sort.

Alice Roberts spends more time in shot than on the subject -another bore.

Hmm, that's not actually true though is it?

 

[mercury_redstone7]

Never used to watch much TV, but it ended up filling my day in in the last 12 months. Got sick of looking out of the window.

Despite being a full on Tory Michael Portillo’s Railway programmes are great.

He always acknowledges that he may have made unpopular decisions unlike current prominent Tories like Jack Whitehall and Michael McIntyre.

Is MMc def a Tory? https://www.gbnews.com/news/michael...-declaring-i-am-not-a-political-person/354498

I never knew that presenters had flavours. If I ever met her, I may give her a lick to see if it is true

After further reading it may or may not be. I'd like to think it is though

Not a fan of many tV presnters ... some of the best ones are such insufferable buttplugs on a personal level.

Of the top of my head, the better ones that aren't buttplugs:
Theroux is good. Packham. Attenborough.
Love Bob Mortimer... though not really a presenter.
I can watch James May, but not really the other two Top Gear fellas... though Clarkson was good doing his Bunuel film.
Helen Skelton is an absolute star.
