A Conversation for David Dickinson - TV Star
A Very Interesting Piece, Slightly Older Than Appears, And Prone To Be Over Priced
Dazza Oxford Started conversation Jun 30, 2002
I read with interest the article on this antiques presenter/all round good egg. However I am slightly sceptical as to how he can be considered worthy of such exaltation, "Controversial hack" I hear you cry, well maybe so. However as a presenter I find him (which is the problem I suppose) as unusual as a very unusual 'bobby dazzler', if he could sing, tap dance, tell jokes or even hand glide whilst carrying an 17th century tall boy and whistling 'Up Up & Away' then I could understand his jolly entertainer value, as he can do none of these things and generally has a following (rather like a drunken conga line that seemed good, at the time) then I can't for the multi coloured reading glasses and bouffant hair life of me wonder how he's achieving such hero worship. Still maybe we will all see the secret to his success one day and join the pink team down at the "Oction", until then we must hope that all television talent isn't as cheap as chips

Dazza-
you obviously haven't watched enough bargain hunt to see David at his multi-faceted best.
There's much more to him than big hair and reading glasses.

It is great! I really resent having to go to work, because this means I don't get my daily fix.
Though I have heard a rumour that they are going to be moving it to a evening slot. Perhaps it will be a celebrity special!

There is two be two series-the usual day time one, and an evening one with a budget of £500 apparently-should be on our screens soon.
As for celebrity specials-over on the BBC Bargain Hunt message board-certain people keep dropping hints!
happy viewing!
Do you fancy the Duke?
Foobie Posted Jul 30, 2002
The Duke, is such a great personality exactly because he doesnt conform to your standard presenter qualities. He has become, and rightly so, a cult item because of his outlandish ideas and styles, he has taken the adoration of the nation, because of so many (many) people who are younger than him, look up to his wholesome ideas of good clean fun.
A vote for the Duke is a vote for righteousness.

Oo-er! what a question!
Empress of Blandings Posted Jul 30, 2002
I saw an old episode of Lovejoy last night! The similarities were quite stunning.
Oo-er! what a question!
Primord Posted Jul 30, 2002
Oh yes!
David is a Jumbo sized slice of Lovejoy!
even down to the dodgy past! 
Oo-er! what a question!
Fate Amenable To Change Posted Jul 30, 2002
DD deserves all due praise but you neglected to mention his creaking fliration with all the ladieeez, ("What we have here is a French Letter," wink to camera, "I'll rephrase that.") And his multi coloured reading glasses (a bit Timmy Mallet, david). The mans a star.
Oo-er! what a question!
Primord Posted Jul 31, 2002
ahhhh!
But if you read my introduction to the h2g2 David Dickinson fan club, you get a little more of that-I was trying (very trying) to keep this article sane.
Very difficult when you are talking about shomeone ash shtrange ash DD.
Of course you have all voted for
BH/DD in the national television
awards haven't you?
Oo-er! what a question!
