I finde this guy really annoying

he used to have this awful bit on some art tv programme (not smART) where kids sent in scribbles and he would majestically turn them into real pictures. It was always like, "and that scribble is a bit of graffitti and in front of it is the spice girls" or "the scribble is a bit of hair on a comb and next to it is a boat" and like why was a kid's art show just celebrating the talent of this idiot who wasn't even talented anyway instead of being like "you can do it too, kids" it was like, "I am the alchemist turning your worthless doodles into masterpieces" even though he only once in a while actually made the scribble seem like part of the drawing.

I hope they send him to the chair, AND I'LL PULL THE LEVER

This might seem like a slight story, but this will be all over the media tonight/tomorrow.

Also, I guess the BBC are pulling all episodes of SMArt off the CBBC channel.

TS: Killing your girlfriend with a paintbrush vs dying of a coke overdose in a gay bondage session

sorry what?

Kevin Greening? Or Mark Oaten? It says Natasha Collins was a presenter too, but I don't know her

I googled a pic, got one where 'she' is wearing a jester outfit. I say 'she' as I don't know if it's that Natasha Collins or someone else with the same name.

To think she died before she got the change to listen to Duffy.

She might have been in the audience of Jools' Hootenanny for all you know

To think she died before she got the change to listen to Duffy.

Duffy can be enjoyed by both men and women alike, you internet sexist

Change? She on the jukebox already?

I blame the Wolves' recent appalling form for any psychological stress Mr Speight may or may not be undergoing. BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS MCCARTHY

I wonder if this means Kirsten O'Brien will be looking for a new co-presenter ROWWWWRRR

Dinosaurs need not apply.

I am just relieved it's not Mr Maker/Mr Tumble/Iggle Piggle.

I could go on, and probably will.

wherever you go on, there you will be

A friend said Miss Collins - an actress, model and presenter - had been prone to fits after being hit by a car a few years ago, an accident which put her in a coma.

does that really say "Ugly Face Models"?

Ugly / Rage Models, apparently.

I'd like to be the first to congratulate Mr Speight on not murdering his girlfriend.

And this is the photo that the Telegraph is using to help us find him...

That article refers to him as "the rubber-faced presenter".

!?

He wore a rubber face in Scratchy and Co.

they found him

Missing TV presenter Mark Speight, what's on your tribute concert wishlist?

A body found at London's Paddington station is believed to be that of TV host Mark Speight, police say.

Ben Marshall should play him in the inevitable TV movie.

this whole thing is awful all around. what a sad story.

xpost dom on fine form as always. guess you gotta take the laughs wherever you can get em, eh dom?

dunno who ben marshall is : /

U_U

to be honest, i don't know who mark speight is. cokehead tv presenter who killed his girlfriend? very sad.

Good work out-Shakey Mo-ing Shakey Mo there.

i know right

hell of a drug

I hope Stephen Mulhern is OK.

^@^ otm

Not suggesting they're equivalents in terms of profile and/or talent but people weren't so quick to make jokes on the heath ledger dead thread.

Having said that, Dom probably was.

Hey, I've had a great idea. Let's all take the piss out of the grief stricken tv presenter who's lying cold on a mortuary slab after topping himself.

Who's in?

Me, Enrique, and DG if he feels like it.

i used to watch smart :(

mind you it helped launch zoe ball's career so zing away

godspeed on your interminable race to the bottom, dom. i sincerely hope its as fulfilling as it appears.

And you just know Dom would be clawing for the moral high ground if some other poster had made a tasteless joke first.

Show me evidence of dom ever claiming the moral high ground and i will show you ^^^fake dom .

Chris Benoit RIP thraed

i think he got upset when that wrestler iced his wife?

hah xpost

poor, poor bastard. RIP.

(no, not dom.)

aye, terrible thing. can't imagine, and don't want to, what it must be like to lose your partner, let alone have to be made to carry the can for a lifestyle choice that takes them from you.

</emo>

scratchy and co was shit, btw.

oh fuck, yeh: no question about it.

I will add "burning to death in own bathtub" and "in remote part of Paddington Station" to my list of Ways Not To Die.

ilx parents: um how to explain this to the 5-year-old?

"SCRATCHY'S D-D-D-D-DEAD"

this is absolutely tragic and there's nothing more to add really other than the tone of this thread is repugnant

one more thing to add - though I'm with czn - and though I have never really previously heard of either of the people involved. I was thinking about it in the small hours this morning and thinking how a couple (2) has been reduced to nothing (0). Imagine if you knew that couple, they were friends of yours. if one of them died, somehow, awful: you would seek to comfort the other. but to lose both of them! the whole pair wiped out, by some tragic logic.

who is ben marshall?

this is absolutely tragic and there's nothing more to add really other than the tone of this thread is repugnant

in fairness: it's ILX. what do you expect? :/

just wait for the Law & Order episode 'inspired' by this

front page of Heat already

sad.
