Julian Clary - The New Chris Packham?

[Stargazer]

I don't think so - with his hushed tones and whispered commentary (reading from a script clearly) but still including his trademark smutty asides (about animals would you believe? like referring to creatures as lesbians). It was only two days ago that I heard and saw him on another programme where he was boasting about an unspeakable act involving Norman Lamont. I gather he was sent into the media wilderness following that debacle but who chose this platform for him to relaunch his "career"? Ufh!

[bednobs]

what platform?

[bednobs]

how is lesbianism slutty?

[Stargazer]

Presenting a nature programme (on ITV) about small mammals and birds found in the surrounding woods and habitats as well as his own garden. And referring to one species as lesbians - possibly bats - I stopped listening and merely watched. He is slutty - the remark pertaining to small mammels was smutty - he is unable to take his mind off copulation it would seem. So I agree that while lesbians are not smutty he is. It is on ITV + 1 at the moment.

Good grief, you sensitive soul...you obviously don't like Julian Clary, so why on Earth watch a programme that he's doing?

[ladybirder]

I enjoyed the programme Stargazer. He is what he is and you know what you're getting with him, he certainly didn't put me off. The baby owls were gorgeous.

Can we have a Link please?

It's interesting isn't it? With Julian you get what is says on the tin - they knew that when they chose him.

It's Julian Clary being Julian Clary. I like him - always have an urge to look after him, he seems so childlike.

[Mamyalynne]

He's great, agreed.

[Svejk]

Stick with it. He's going to show us how to fill butts, next week.

[LyndaB]

Can't believe someone is still going on about the Norman Lamont remark a it must be over 15 years since he first said it.

[LyndaB]

I ve just googled it - and it was 1993 so over 20 years since! Get over it!

[Mamyalynne]

These nature programme watchers have deep spades.

[pips1]

Well I totally agree stargazer, I like the nature bit but he annoys the hell out of me

[gingejbee]

I always find that avoiding people that "annoy the Hell out of me" is the best idea...fortunately, it's quite easy!

[DaisyNonna]

Successfully avoided that

[Tizzi24]

I love him!

[Peter Pedant]

from what Stargazer says - I think she quite likes him ....

I think one Chris Packham is more than enough thanks.

Miserable git.
