Who is the most irritating Coast Presenter?

[pogofish]

The long haired Scottish one who must have killed the one above or something as he's now the boss one?

I have a mate who is the spitting image of this guy and yes, we are Scots - can you imagine how sick we are of folk butting-in with "Hey, you are that guy off Coast aren't you"

 

[Spion]

Horton's the most annoying, but the others (except for Chestikov) are all vying for irrito-supremacy. Crane is a twat with that bloody umbrella. He made it his trademark in books he wrote long before Coast existed

I haven't seen much of Coast but I was struck by the twin themes of ecology and gratuitous helicopter shots panning near and far. It's very BBC - air space above the south American jungle must be swarming with them.

Don't forget the slightly jingoistic summing up at the end of every episode about how great, Great Britain is... I'll write one now...

"What the east coast has shown me, on this leg of our journey, is the amazing power of people, british people, great British people, to overcome adversity and bounce back from disaster, time after time. Whether battling terrible poverty or natural disaster, the East coast is full of fighting spirits, amazing sights and though the next few years are sure to bring changes to this most special part of the world, the people will be ready, as they've always been" *music swells*

Good call. I felt the rising strings. At least I think that's what it was.

Have you just watched the last 5 minutes of wild swimming again by any chance?

One of the hazards of coming from a small gene pool, I expect.

I don't find any of them irritating.

They are all lovely.

Apologies for ressurecting this ancient thread, but i just watched an episode of Coast, being a complete day time tv slob about in jammies..

Nile Loviver wins hands down with that HAIR dangling around his soldiers constantly having to be brushed back off face! If he got a proper short back and sides his irritant quotia would be significantly reduced.

Nicholas Crane is a gentle saint.

I have it on very good authority from someone who books well known historians to appear at public events that Neil Oliver is a complete fucking arsehole both in his demands and in the delivery.

Apparently I voted for the tall bloke with the stick and I now can't even remember who that is. Can't be that fucking annoying then.

 

[kebabking]

Miranda K lives near Portishead, we see her and her family quite a bit. She's nice.

Mark Horton gets on my tits, i like Neil Oliver - in fact I have a bit of a man-crush on his hair - Nicholas Crane is good but can be a bit earnest, and Alice Roberts is, well, Alice Roberts, and in truth, if she played her cards right, she could have me...

 

[nuffsaid]

Great thread - As one of these has been incredibly annoying and I can now vent my spleen.

The way the bloke with the stick narrates is absolutely infuriating. He raises the intonation in his voice at the end of each sentence as if he's asking a question, or in the way that teenagers suddenly started talking, or in the way Aussies speak - Stop it you twat! You're not asking a question, you're describing something, you should lower your intonation at the end of each sentence like a normal person.

So annoying.

I voted Handel because he shared a flat with Jimi Hendrix.

I can well believe that.

He lives near me. Not sure exactly where, but I always see him walking about, or browsing in Stormfront. Sometimes he goes in one of my favourite coffee shops. In which case I'll go to my second favourite.

 

[butchersapron]

libcom?

 

[cheesethief]

Neil Oliver, he gives me the creeps. And he was on Brookside...

He's basically my mental image of what you look like Danny.

 

[redcogs]

i saw that Neil Oviler sat outside a Edinburgh cafe full on posing and soaking up sun. Pushing his hair back oot of his face..
Its time he got a proper job, and a decent fucking aircut.

You're a cruel man, maomao

Fuck off.

i mean to say why would any middle aged man go oot in public with hair down to waist when there are more barber shops per head of population than at any time in human history?? Eh??

And he lives in Stirling, where there are more than most.

 

[skyscraper101]

I don't remember him on Brookside. Though having checked IMDB I can see he was in one episode, a fair while after I'd given up on it. Seems to be the extent of his acting career.

I resemble this remark.

 

[redcogs]

i had hair to shoulders in the late 1960s when hair to shoulders was compulsory

 

[blairsh]

I apparently resemble the most irritating one

 

[SpookyFrank]

The Scottish one was on that show about neolithic stuff in the Orkneys. He kept coming up with stupid theories every time they found a pebble or whatever and Chris Packham had to keep pointing out to him that he was basically just talking bollocks.
