Does anyone else find Fiona Bruce really irritating?

[JimT]

As a presenter, not a newsreader, that is - like she's talking to a group of 5 year olds.

[shiznit]

Yeah totally, that woman on Dead Ringers had her off to a tee

[lardhelmet]

Oh yes - and don't get me started on her dress sense!

[craft1948]

bit like Harriet Harperson

I watched the Victoris programme tonight and noriced in the earlier credits that she had written the programme, i assume that meant she wrote what she was going to say, her presenting consists of short simple statements with a little 'I bet you didn;t know that' quip at the end, very ittitating and yes, like she was teaching a bunch of pre-school kids

[craft1948]

I thought Prince Charles was quite good though dot......very relaxed and enjoying the subject.

[dothawkes31]

Actually yes, he wasn't trying to prove that he had spent months doing the research, he just knew it because it was his Family History, he can be very charming and it's an endearing side of him.

[craft1948]

I thought it very funny that he said when as a young child he didn't realise the history he was surrounded by and just took it for granted.........

[Backdrifter]

Yes she's irritating is winning 4-2. So far then, the Bruce is Officially Irritating.

For me, she embodies a certain kind of bland tweeness you often get with the BBC but yes that tone that seems to suggest she's addressing little kids... yecccchhh.

[Backdrifter]

Doh - my counting went awry there - we're winning 6-2.

Well, I think that's totally conclusive. She is irritating.

[trt]

I love her, especially on Antiques road show, but her dress sense is a bit iffy.

[mushroom25]

it's not just her. most tv producers seem to think that the average viewer has the attention span - and the intelligence - of a slug.

[askyourgran]

I've read somewhere that she is one of the best dressed women on TV, don't know why, I can't make my mind up about her. I suppose that makes me a Don't know in your reckoning up backd.
