John Sergeant

Hard to ignore how much of an arse this former heavyweight journalist has become. Out of nowhere he has suddenly become a light entertainment whore

And? Your point is?

I mean, who cares??

We were actually doing a pretty good job of ignoring it here on the board

I think he's a hardcore follower who's a tad disappointed now that John Sergeant has sold out by showing that he's a fairly normal bloke who's work persona and the real JS persona are different.

In so far as I give a shit (ie not at all), I think it's a shame about what happened on the dancing program. The idea, shirley, is that non-dancers turn up and have a go at dancing. If I watched it, I'd be looking for someone who put a bit of effort in, improved their skills and enjoyed the experience. Most of the characters who the judges approve of have probably trained in dancing at some point in their careers, which ruins the whole purpose of the show for me.

John Sergeant was entirely in the spirit of the show, had the public's backing and was forced out anyway. The whole thing makes me pleased that I don't watch the telly anyway.

Having said all that, I agree that he is a fat, boring old cunt

Why did you watch him JG?

Just a guess:

Etiquette?

No problem with John Sergeant....it's the thick British voting public.

It's the same public that vote for Michelle McManus.and then don't buy her singles!

Exactly, he was having a larf, people took it seriously, he worked it out, he bailed because once people take a laugh seriously it's not always so funny, and now people are harassing him for interviews and appearances....whether it's because they are stunned that anyone in television has an attogram integrity, or just cos he dances like a stoned hippopotamus is hard to say.....but aside from that the case is somewhat clearcut.

Also, I know a chap who's worked with him a few times (as crew), and he says he's never laughed so hard in his life, that the man is a rapier wit and a full on party mammal. For shitey, miserably, annpying, pretentious professional primadonnaism and an all round bad day, apparently Kate Adie is your woman.

If it was through your work I'd say he was reflecting his audience (present company excepted of course).
