It'll be all right in a few minutes, Mr Con man. It sounds like Mr Thompsett's just landed on the South Bank to professionally take you through the remainder of ITV1's Sunday evening entertainmant.

Oh no! He's AWFUL!! Smary, patronising, thinks charisma is the 25th of December, has more hair than me and is better looking than me.

This is not personal you understand, merely a professional evalaution of the talentless git!

We have the 'just out of nappies' Paul on local announcements today - a carefully written script (NOT) ........

Paul Jamieson has to be one of the worst of the current team.


I disagree with you. I think Paul J is one of the best of the staff announcers.

I do think hes been on too much recently though. I'm sure I heard him introduce The Frighteners after the Premiership last night. Does that mean he was doing nights too?? They must be incredibily understaffed at the moment.

Maybe it's due to the fact he's been on too much recently - I just find he races through everything and you only catch half of what he is says.

I agree that he at least tries to inject some personality into the links.

Lots of freelancers still wroking for them - but of course it is the holiday period - maybe if Graham B did the odd shift Twisted Evil at the weekend?!?!?!?

I only discovered his website earlier today, and was rather pleased to find he was an anorak!

More of a Peter Andre Yellow Mackintosh (remember him?) than an anorak I think!

How many channels is Glen Thompsett on? Whether he is either a V/O or a presenter he is always on, don't get me wrong he is a good V/O and presenter but he is on tons, frankly I am suprised it hasn't killed him, as I have seen him on
