What did you think of The One Show? Guest: Amanda Holden

Post categories:

The One Show Team | 15:22 UK time, Tuesday, 24 November 2009

Adrian and Christine were joined by actress Amanda Holden.

Be part of a new TV series?
Sir Gerry Robinson also came into the studio to talk about his new TV series about wills and inheritance, Legacy. Would you like some help with writing your will? Is it something you have been deliberately putting off? Have you got a big family? Maybe you are unsure how to divide things fairly or worried it might cause conflict?
If you'd like to take part in Gerry's TV series, email the team at
legacy@talkbackthames.tv
with your telephone contact number, and a short paragraph summarising your dilemma.

With more heavy rain forecast, Matt Allwright was in Cockermouth for a second day.

Angelica Bell was in Rutland looking at how stray dogs are being turned into lifesavers in Afghanistan.

It's day two of Hair Week! Michael Douglas and Dan Snow looked at how the Georgians wore their hair.

    All respect to the show for headlining the on-going problems in Cumbria-Amanda and the residents are right-the cameras will disappear and the residents will spend months getting things back to normal after the floods-my Sunday newspaper had 2 pages on the floods last week-end, but frequently has 6 page articles on Katie Price-also Children in Need has raised millions-surely some of this could go to the children on Cumbria-they are in obvious need.
    On a lighter note Adrian seemed tetchy whilst introducing article on hairstyles-perhaps he is thinking of having a "Jedward"

    Please can everyone pronounce Cockermouth properly? It's 'Cockerm'th.'

    Yes, I am Cumbrian, but nobody pronounces 'Dartmouth' of 'Exmouth' or 'Bournemouth' as they're spelt!

    The Show as usual was fun, however Amanda Holden - oh dear. I thought she was superficial (the comment about how 'most people underestimate the problems caused by flooding' or words to that effect, was "gob smacking"). And she was rude - the sheep shearing comment about the man with the unusual hair, at the same time as Christine and Chiles offering a top hairdresser to give his hair a make over- unnecessary. I think she was one of the worst guests so far.

    Good to see a bit about Cockermouth, good also to see the way they've organised themselves - well done them. Why are the RE not sorting them out with temporary bridges? Doddle for them - used to do a Medium Girder Bridge at 2am in pitch black darkness across 50ft gaps in about 2 hours, so from hard level surface to another to 'join' to the street across the river in broad daylight is not a problem. Good idea by Amanda Holden to base a One show up there sometime when they're back on their feet. Best give Hokeykokeyalex some notice so he can prepare himself - get some Valium in to help with the excitement - maybe even give him a spot on the show while your up there - unless he's too shy of course!

    HOKEY?!! Up for it?!!


    MELANIE GRANT - re your post last night: entertaining guest (3 - 4 mths ago?) Shane Ritchie? Johnny Vegas and Noddy Holder always good.

    PS Suggestion for Cockermouth - get hold of someone from the Royal Engineers to find out why they're not helping out? This is basic for the RE. Diversions of up to 80 miles can't be much fun. We helped civvies out in the storm of 87 why not now?

    If you get old of them ask them about 'bridge gallops' great fun!

    Yes Natalie, I thought the same thing! I pronounce it as it should be, but only because I know people in the Lake District and know that's how it's pronounced. Having said that, surely news presenters should know how to say the names of places correctly.

    Re: The Big Personality Test (23/11/09).

    I laughed out loud when Professor Robert Winston analysed Adrian's results and said that the data showed that he was 'disagreeable and neurotic'. That was until I did the test myself- AND GOT THE SAME RESULTS!! At least I'm in good company. My results were really no surprise for me, because I'm a typical Virgo.

    Thanks to watching The One Show, I am now involved in Brain Test Britain as well. Who says your show isn't educational? Keep up the good work. (p.s The show isn't the same when you have guest presenters.)

    Comments about being moderated:

    I don't know, I'm guessing here - but the pattern I've noticed (I think) is that your comment is referred to moderators if it mentions by name the guest or Adrian or Christine - even if 'ahem' complimentary!! Therefore I reckon something's been set up to automatically send your comment to a 'back-burner' until a human can give it the OK.

    NATALIE Post 13: I'll try but I can't promise - I'm a Brummy - they can't pronounce anything properly! As in "Ay yow - woz it loik in Cockermauth? Oi opes you oilroight soon our kid"

    Seriously though, I'm with Jacko post 19 in that news readers, for instance should know - or look up before hand the proper pronounciation before going on air - it is their profession after all!

    The English language is weird at times - Towcester = "toaster" ; Worcester = "wuster" etc. Must be murder to learn English if it's not your first language.

    I don't think your making allowance for Adrian being a West Brom supporter, that must account for a LOT! You're not one as well are you?

    Can't really go with "My results were really no surprise for me, because I'm a typical Virgo."

    I don't believe in all that horoscope rubbish. Mind you, I would say that - I'm a Scorpio.

    Agree with: "(p.s The show isn't the same when you have guest presenters.)"

    good evening.......wiglediggle2...these are indeed troubled times.
    i think the thought police are out for us.
    could you give us a flavour of what has been blocked?
    melanie_grant on yesterdays blog answered none of my points and now calls me a name caller and says i am not nice.
    it will now be my personal crusade to find out who this person is,how she got her job and how much she is paid.
    i have no intention of allowing her to lie about me and insult regular bloggers.
    tonights show...well done on locations,i would like to take some credit for the sudden change as i have been emailing the producers direct,,,but that would go against what i say about no attention being paid to us.
    i think the hair thing is very poor.
    you will be pleased to know that melanie_grant the editor of this blog says the primary function of any guest is to entertain and that they are likely to mention their latest project....please do not laugh,we know she does not mean it.
    it would appear that it is a coincidence that all the guests have something to flog or promote....yes,you couldnt make it up could you.

    Re Natalie - Blog 13 -
    Sorry to disagree but even though you live in a location it doesn't mean that you are automatically correct on your pronounciation.

    The 'mouth' part of all your locations refers to the mouth of the relevant rivers - you obviously wouldn't say 'muth' of the river - would you? Unfortunately bad / lazy pronounciation is often percieved as correct (as in your finite statement)

    I originate from Bristol and even though the locals pronounce it 'Brisl' it lends no credence to the correct pronounciation.
