It's odd. I really like him on the radio with the fake Doctor, and really liked his documentary on Blade Runner, but I hated his recent TV series and agree that generally he's shocking on camera.

Most up themselves TV presenter? Got to be Piers, shirley?

Sorry, can't agree with that. he lives, eats and breathes film in all its forms. Even if he himself dislikes a film he always explains why, and how it failed for him but applauds the writer/director for trying . He will also re-visit a film and view it from the perspective of other peoples viewing and if he is still unsure he will say along the lines of " The film did not work for me but, you go, see it for yourself and you will either feel the same or come away with different feelings."

Obviously you're referring to the OP's opinion on Kermode. I completely agree with you. I think he is an excellent presenter, and film critic, humble and responsive to the opinions of others. It helps that I am generally on his wavelength, and usually agree with his critiques, but I don't think that it would matter if I didn't.

I also love his radio show with Simon Mayo on Five Live - they both come across as really likeable blokes.

Still more than a bit up himself tho eh? Hence the massively contrived visual image.

For " a contrived visual image " try watching Jonathon Ross, he looks like his own Madame Tussauds waxwork these days.

Do you mean his quiff? I don't think it's fair to say someone is up himself because of his choice of hairstyle!

Reckon it's totally fair game to judge a presenter by their highly contrived image/hairstyle. Strongly suggests they take themselves that wee bit too seriously :lol:
