Anyone been watching this lady’s career. My wife and I have been catching up with her series ‘A Very British Murder’ where she waltzes about explaing about famous murderers by appearing at the locations where the murders happened, where they were tried and ultimately where they were executed. It’s very good, partly because of her general manner and also her non condescending method of explaining stuff. She’s also a little bit eccentric as well with her mild speech impediment and hairclip and it has to be said being eccentric sometimes aids a persons rise to prominence on TV. The british public and the BBC in particular love a good british eccentric, someone who’s just a little out of the ordinary but still ‘one of us’ Just look at antiques roadshow, the stalwart of sunday night programming, you are almost guaranteed to get airtime if you’re a little bit strange (?) with a funny hairstyle or a sense of dress. Thoughts on the topic and suggestions of other great british eccentrics?

Shes just beautiful.

I have a proper crush on her… 😳

Everything she’s done, will do is most excellent in my world.

Gush 😐

Holly crap… 😳

Countdown til someone says they fancy her…. 10, 9, 8…

also: Sister Wendy Beckett.

I think I’d add maybe eccentric and also upper middle class seems to make the grade quite well.

-4 is the answer Northwind 🙂

Get in line Bike Bouy, get in line.

You git, keep away 👿

I think the tradition of British eccentrics is slowly dying out.
We lost Brian Sewell recently and he would have been top of the list.
Probably less said about Saville the better.
Worlsey is a good presenter and the scripts for her programs are well written. She also has the enviable habit of reverse aging like Benjamin Button.

That Worlsey girl is a naughty, naughty dirty girl … 😈

she is easy on the eye it has to be said, but more in a ‘marry her and live happily with lots of kids in the country’ kinda way rather than a ‘over the kitchen table quickie’ kinda way, don’t you think?

Ohhh yes, that’s my plan!!!!

She strikes me as a game gel who’s fond of a bit of, how can I put this, “paddling”, now and again.

Blue stocking fun. Woof.

Just looked her up on Wikipedia and am amazed she didn’t attend Cheltenham Ladies College.

Something tells me she can easily be bunny boiler if not careful … very fragile type you know.

My mate Marcus. He was on George Clarke’s amazing spaces a week or so ago. Cricket Pavilion thing in there too, with another eccentric.

Brian Blessed. Especially given his midwifery commented on in another thread here.

I used to have a thing about Lucy.

But the BEEB are over exploiting her as the “thinking man’s crumpet” and shes suffering from over-exposure (fnaa, fnaa)

Some of the stuff she has been on recently has been a little bit rubbish.

She should stick to architectural history and Georgian England.

Dr Alice Roberts for me, in her early days when she was still a massive grunge fan with bright red or pink pigtails, kneeling down, getting all excited about a serious troweling in her muddy trench

Of course, Carenza Lewis off Time Team was the original intellectual totty. I would have cleaned her trowel any day.

I know that’s very crude and banworth but I lolled quite a lot 🙂

Yes, the un-trimmed eyebrows and the impish grin do have a certain allure. I remember seeing her on TV once and thinking her rather unusual. Must watch more of her now that my Alice Roberts crush is fading.

This. But with less Tazzy.

@bigblackshed but,but,but, that was my bestest behavior, there’s no rude words nor nuffink, 😥

*sobs quietly*

I’ve looked at the pictures of Lucy Worsley above and immediately imagined her robbing a diner with Tim Roth….

The Pulp Fiction robber girl looks more like Stacy Herbert off the Keiser Report.

Lucy Worsley, jodhpurs, riding crops ….

Anyone see that on the tellybox….

Obviously has connections

I’ll just leave this here.

obviously has connections

The pig is smiling and I can’t see her left hand…..

The pig is smiling because it didn’t end up with David Cameron.

he played that publicity wrong, he should have said something like it never happened as they couldn’t find a pig with a big enough head, or similar. Along the same lines as that supposed Churchill quote about condoms for sten guns in the war.

Well I remember the series about evolution of rooms in the house where she presented the programme from an art deco bath

Given the aurora this evening, may I distract you with the wonderful Dr Lucie Green, space scientist, wonderful communicator, absolutely lovely and an expert in mass coronal ejections.

I’ll throw Colin Furze in the mix. Eccentric engineer specialising in jet engines. e.g. jet bbq, jet kettle, jet bike etc etc.

I can’t see the physical appeal, although she is a great presenter. Interesting and quirky, although sometimes a little rude (not the good kind of rude). She’s definitely got presence.

If we’re talking eccentric and beautiful, Suzannah Lipscomb is delightful

Tellyland / media land = the upper middle classes looking after their own..,?
