Whats going on with Adrian Chiles??

[Sysman]

I agree. He was quite suited to Working Lunch in that regard.

I quite liked the chap when he did Working Lunch. A dozen years ago I watched it every day when I was working from home; it gave me an excuse to take a proper lunch break.

I seriously don't understand how this guy has got a job on TV. He's got the charisma of a dead slug.

He is living proof that even those afflicted by the most severe speech impediments can still rise to what passes for high office in the world of public broadcasting. Whether or not that is a good thing is, of course, another debate.

Stewart Lee summed him up brilliantly

"like being stuck in the buffet car of a slow-moving train with a Toby jug that has miraculously discovered the power of speech.....A talking Toby jug full of steaming hot p1ss".

I was particularly impressed by his efforts for Sport Relief. Christine does a water ski across the freezing Channel in February. Not to be outdone, Chiles shaves his beard off

His look of disinterest makes the One Show. I have no interest in watching it without him.

Not sure what he was doing on MOTD2 though, unless it was a joke to get someone who knows nothing about football to present the show.

ITV has signed up Ray Mears, and obviously wanted a spare head in case anything happens to him.

I can appreciate what you mean as I thought he was dull when I first saw him on TV years ago - must be the brummie accent.

However, he has grown on me - not that I watch much of what he presents - and he is quite funny.

He cracked me up at Xmas.

Caught some of the One Show when they had Gordon Ramsey on and they asked him what he was doing for Xmas lunch. Ramsey said he was going to a friends for Xmas lunch and then went all coy when asked who his friend was - it had been in the papers that he was going to the Beckhams. Anyway, Chiles said he heard he was going to the Beckhams, Ramsey confirmed he was and there was a bit of light hearted banter when Bleakley pipes up with "aww, wish we'd been invited"'

Straight away Chiles chips in "Nah, I couldn't make it anyway, I'm cooking for Pele".

I guess you had to have seen it, but it was funny.

[TimberWolf]

I quite like him I expect Christine has knockers too.
