Semaphore Hands Of Correspondents And Presenters...........
16 Answers
Thought I would air my massive irritation of most tv correspondents and some presenters who are unable to do a piece to camera without waving their hands and arms all over the place. There is a new, and otherwise very good, presenter on BBC, I think a name like Navgod or similar, who speaks fluently and concisely to camera but waves his hands and arms around so much it is like a frantic semaphore signal. If you don't get what I am trying to tell you, just watch a selection of reporters on the main news tonight and you will not be disappointed. I cannot watch and have to flick channels. A good example of the best style of presenting is Huw Edwards who just stands or sits there talking. No wave of arms, just speech. So professional.

I don't mind them waving their arms about. It's when they can't speak properly that irks me.
Watching the recent semi final between Netherlands and Croatia and the co-commentator was ex England Women's team member Fara Williams. There does not appear to be a letter 't' in her alphabet as she was banging on and on about opportuni'ies and qualit'ies. She also had trouble pronouncing Croatia - kept saying Coratio and she also gave a lot of praise to one of the 'Coration players', Moderic. And i had to wonder if he was any relation to Luca Modric who was also on the field at the time.
Having said that, she wasn't on camera so she could also have been waving her arms about like a windmill on speed, for all i know:-)
