Voice of the Balls

[Hopkirk]

Am I alone in finding Alan Dedicoat really annoying on the lottery shows?

[Buenchico]

Am I alone in finding the lottery shows really annoying? (Just draw the balls out please, and cut the rest of the crap! I might actually watch the draw then!)

PS: As a TOG, I'm naturally a fan of 'Deadly' ;-)

[Hopkirk]

Don't start me on Wogan!

[askyourgran]

No you are not alone, I just wish they would draw the lottery without all the fanfare. They all annoy me why do they have to shout? Mrask doesn't like Jennie Falconer.

Not quite sure what Ixpected when I clicked this thread. Feel kinda thwarted now :p

[Hopkirk]

It's when he shouts 'Big Money Balls' that I cringe most.

[Hopkirk]

Sorry Boo.

It's a bit early for a smutty thread.

[cazzz1975]

I hate the whole quiz and chat thing used as an obvious filler to keep people watching while they drag out the actual drawing of the balls.

[Euphemia]

I agree. I think the whole circus should be cut.

[alexanderd]

Why do they have a "personality" to press a button when its obvious nothing can happen till the buton on the machine is pressed?

[micmak]

Never watch it. Disappointment is not for Saturday night. I leave that for Sunday.

[boxtops]

I never understood why they make a whole show out of it anyway. Just tell the damn numbers. Ernie never has a party when he allocates the Premium Bond winnerrs.

[Hopkirk]

When the person starting the draw presses the button, they usually say 'Good Luck Everybody'

I find this ridiculous, as we can't all win at the same time.

[giveup]

Well I have'nt won again

[askyourgran]

Only got two numbers. Think I'll give it a miss next week.

I wonder how much it costs to stage the Lotto Draws.

[lankeela]

Don't mind his voice but I don't know why he needs to tell us that number 32 has been pulled out 328 times in the last five weeks. He obviously has it all in front of him, its not as though he remembers every single number and when it was last pulled out. Everyone is concentrating on the next number anyway.

[daisya]

Have to say I think it's ridiculous re the lottery draw, all most of us want is the draw to take place in about 10 minutes and over and done with, I don't bother to watch it, just record the results or get them online. Yes I do find Alan D's voice annoying too but worse is the guy who does the X Factor don't know his name, but he really gets to me and he's doing more voice overs in other things too..scream!

[madmaggot]

I don't 'do' the lottery and I have never seen the draw shows; but: I do love Alan Deddicote's voice.
However, I find that the current trend of drawing out results and prolonging 'stuff' on TV really annoying; consequently I hardly ever watch quiz shows on TV these days.
I do quite enjoy 'Pointless'.
Another related annoyance for me is the way the contestant gives their answer and then the host says 'do you want me to accept ***** as your answer? Of course they do otherwise they wouldn't have given it as their answer!
