Annoying voices on television

[Gerald Lovell]

name='TomDaws']There's a movie buff called Mark Cousins who hasn't been on TV for a while, but I heard him last Friday on Radio 4's Film Programme and was horribly reminded how awful his voice is. Not so much the accent (perhaps) as the way he goes up at the end of every sentence.

Agree 100%. What he says is usually interesting, but the way his voices goes up at the end of each sentence really gets on my t**s.

Whilst I have nothing against geordies whatsoever,but the continuity announcer of Channel 4 gets on my wick.

He is an irritating feicer you're quite right. He tried his level best to make me switch off the darts with his constant droning on about the 'new kids on the block' and young versus old. Then that coupled with the compare and bleedin irritating 'noin-tee-noin!' It just made me want to peel my face off and mail it to them.

Can you put a name to this Aussie irritant? I'm curious as to who he is and how he got a job on the BBC!



It's the reverse over here... the ABC has a history of favouring upperclass English accents. They do employ the occasional Australian now, but for many years the plummy fruity voice with a 1940s theatrical delivery was a compulsory requirement.

It's not one single person - it's different people every time they want an expert it seems the only ones available are Australian.

I've emailed them direct and really gave it welly when they replied it's one of the best responses they have ever had to advertising sales wise..yeah right I replied we're not all silly 20 somethings who use their phones for everything bar making a phone call, I also told them that everyone on here hates the farking thing but still waiting for a reply on that



Death to TMobile ads!

[Harbottle]

Footy commentator Jonathan Pearce! The combination of 'beer voice' and a kind of 'crooning' commentary style, which is obviously a ghastly affectation. I recall hearing him on Capital Gold mamy moons ago never believeing he would eventually be on MoTD!

The 'we buy any car' ad has much the same effect on me.

The woman advertising Canada as a great place to visit - but that voice seems to be attempting to sound like Jerry Hall . It cannot possibly be her as she is a Texan and why would she advertise Canada? It is such a corny and false voice
