I kind of know where you're coming from

When i worked in the horticultural/landscape industry, it pissed a lot of people off that the presenters of gardening programmes were young and trendy, yet knew fuck all about the subject. Case in point: Kim bleedin Wilde who had done one course in garden design at Capel Manor College and ended up fronting a really shit garden makeover programme.

However, say anything bad again about the ginger one off of coast and I will hunt you down and kill you.

it's nothing personal in alice

but i remember that when she first emerged on coast, she was there as a archeologist, then a few months later, she was doing a programme about medicine! she might know about both, but she is presented as a sage each time - the whole thing is very disengenuous. they want the titles and the letters to give the show gravitas, but to be hoenst, they could have bought their degrees off the internet so long as they look good after make up, and do a mean piece to camera*.

so they arent the best screen talent, and they arent the best academics. so why are they there? just to lend weight. bah humbug.

*tv in sowmanship coming first shocker.

I think she's an anthropologist

so she could sort of know about medicine and archaeology. Sort of.

So would you prefer a better presenter who knows nothing, or someone more knowledgeable who can't convey their knowledge? Choose. Choose now!
