horribleblob Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm getting that feeling of déjà vu. To be fair, it's not the only programme with three presenters, although, granted, the 'Homes Under the Hammer' crew don't go to Tenerife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be great being a presenter on that programme, they must make a fortune if they get paid repeat fees. On BBC every day of the week, was on BBC2 yesterday and BBC1 this morning and BBC1 every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he's more conversant with the offside rule than most estate agents are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money could be better spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Not having to watch this rubbish is not the point, If their doing a report about British resorts what the flippin hell are they doing reporting from foreign countries. Money could be better spent. Oh god not this old chestnut again. Put simply its because us simple minded viewers expect it. It gives a show context, narrative and a suitable setting in which to aid any story or image they are trying to portray. If the show has a general theme of "holidays" then they will portray that "holiday" image a viewer expects to see. Its exactly the same reason why weather presenters reporting about heavy snowfall are pointlessly sent out to film in the middle of a freezing cold blizzard or traffic reporters are sent out to stand on top of some motorway bridge to describe how busy a road is or why news reporters have to stand outside of some closed up courthouse or some government department's office hours after everyone has left just because the story they are reporting relates to it in some way. YES, they could just sit in a studio and be able to produce exactly the same "content" a lot easier. BUT, its the backdrop and narrative which us trigger remote happy viewers expect these days. Never ever underestimate how little attention span a viewer has. Television (even the most basic of things) is vastly expensive to make. Trust me, broadcasters dont fritter money away unless they had some good reason for it. I dont know how much of a jolly you think a lower level consumer show presenter really has. They are hardly hollywood starlets with an entourage catering to their every whim. They get to travel out somewhere yes. They probably get stay in a hotel yes. But they spend their days stood around for hours filming public interviews, gathering B roll filming in hotel rooms, shops, kitchens or some resort attraction due to be featured, do a few links to camera and then that's it. They fly straight back to work on the next part of the programme and do the voiceovers back in a studio somewhere. Just like most people who are "perceived" by to be spoilt by having the luxury of travelling abroad for their job - the actual reality is far from it. Staff might travel out to film somewhere and be back in less than 48 hours. I know of one radio broadcast techie who was flown for 12/14 hours to some far flung destination to set up show but then returned the next working day. Hardly a "jolly". The majority of TV crew will be very similar. Edited January 7, 2018 by ECCOnoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not an old chestnut, if reporting on Skeggy be in Skeggy and not in Teneriefy or Lanzarote . People have a right to grumble when their Lisence fee is being miss used. A previous quote from Martin Clunes on the holiday show, Its great being here in Paradise on Lisence payers money. Mind you at least he was in the country he was reporting on.
