Lucy Worsley Has a Punchable Face

I thought she and Bubble from Ab Fab are the same person, that's my theory anyway. Her speech impediment drives me insane, and how she gets so excited about her subject matter, like manic.

OP, why are you so obsessed with her? You've already started several Lucy Worsley hate threads. She's too plain and inoffensive to be worthy of any hate.

The BBC has tons worse presenters.

The BBC has quotes for sex, transvestites, BAMES, Wokes and Luvvies.

R3 ** they have quotas**

R2 -- Please link a Lucy thread you believe I have started.

[quote] Please link a Lucy thread you believe I have started.

That's not my thread. So step off, bub.

I like her get that Suzannah Limpscomb witch instead.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

She isn't the MOST annoying.

I wearing a red mop on my head and I'm more annoying.

I rub my fingers over 14th documents and swing my curls over the camera.

I crack up when she dresses as a man or peasant “boy” because she really pulls it off seamlessly.

R9, R10 always get those witches mixed up.

R9 Look at those fake kiss curls and that fake man!

I love Lucy’s Jane Austen documentary though, I think it’s my favorite by her.

She ain't got no upper lip, just a gash. Ugh/

R15 That’s true of most british people though.

Oh God, that Lucy cunt is back on PBS right now 8/16 @ 7P.

Ugh!

I like her when she's presenting something about Royal Palaces where she truly his insight. The rest of the time she is annoying, and what if with the constant fucking costumes.

I think she may be a man. Someone needs to feel up under her dress!

Her voice is deep.

Is this woman a BBC woman?

Gary 'Moneybags' Linneker has a more punchable face than this woman.

[quote] Britain has some of the best television presenters in the world

No, it doesn't. They like to believe and they boast all the time that they are 'world-beating' (their expression) in so many ways but Britain is a failing state with not much going for it, least of all showbiz people of merit.

After the no-deal Brexit, the UK permanent seat on the UN Security Council will be transferred to Brussels. Then the UK will break up. There will be the disestablishment of the Church of England and the Queen or her successor will have to go to one of their other realms like Barbados. Meghan will not be visiting from Montecito.

I so hate her.

She's a doctor!

I find her pahticular bwand of histowical wealism wather wefweshing, weally.

I hate the way she dresses in the costumes of what she is reporting. So trite, so stupid.

She wears boots FFS. No one else wears boots.

Is this all onthe BBC license fee again?

R27 The license fee never stops. It is imposed in perpetuity. The unwilling citizens are imposed upon in perpetuity.

R28 Where there was a tea tax there is a license fee ...

Is there a type of British regional accent that sounds like Elmer Fudd? A professor at Cambridge during my study abroad read ‘The Rape of the Lock’ and he had that speech impediment and I literally bit through my finger (it bled!) trying to keep myself from laughing at his Vewwy Dwamatic Weading of...The Wape of the Wock!!

Many years later my boss told me that’s actually an accent/dialect in the UK, not a speech impediment.

I don't think Lucy has that impediment, do you?

she;s a doctor adn shoudl go back to hospitals in this time of needs.

I just watched her talk about photography and the BRF. Sadly it was so precious and ponderous, that by the time she got to the contemporary royals I’d had enough. It was interesting for a while.

^^ posted too soon.

She was dressed like Maria Von Trapp taking a day trip to Salzburg. I kept thinking it was a costume, but it was her regular outfit. (She did wear a number of costumes, too, though.)

Also, I think her eyebrows are a stroke of genius, because they make her look inquisitive and benign. If they were different, she’d be more plain and aggravating.

She reminds me a tiny bit of Amy Sedaris.

What are your thoughts on Michael Wood?

R30 People like you suffering with hysteria need this--

R35 He's TV performer rather than a real historian.

Presenters on TV know that the image is ten times more important than the words so they spout out the most crazy non-sequiturs because they have good footage.

He's been involved in ten times more TV shows than real books which require logical thinking, rational argument, documentation and footnotes.

He used to be known as "the thinking woman's crumpet" for his habit of wearing tight jeans . He's done stuff called 'Public History' at Manchester which is really just fluffy, emotional history (suitable for women).

Ah, Lucy is ok. She’s no Mary Beard (who really should be a DL fave), but she seems sincerely interested in her subject. And she wrote a great biography of Jane Austen.

R35, Michael Wood has the air of a vicar comforting you on the death of a pet neither you nor he liked very much.

R38 That woman looks like a shambling mess. It is her trademark.

It detracts whatever it is she may be saying with her mouth. All these irritating 'presenters' are a complete distraction.

People who are shambling messes adore watching other shambling messes on screen.

I like Michael Woods accent a lot. And his hairy chest you can see sometimes.

Attention fellow Lucy Worsley Haters --

There will be a hatefest stating at 8P CDT, 9/13/20.

Dr. Worsley is back on PBS tonight with "Lucy Worsley's Royal Palace Secrets."

Bring your realtime comments back to this thread.

Should be ghastly -- let's tune in and get our hatin' on!

"I tell you erryting -- She looka like a man."

Nothing could get me to watch her.

I enjoy her documentaries.

She's for American fraus who want to be British adjacent. No kidding. I'm in a British facebook group and American women post pictures of the tea they lay out while watching British programs.

[quote]What are your thoughts on Michael Wood?

Will his biopic star David Tennant or Bill Nighy?

Lucy isn’t so bad- I can handle her over Joann Fletcher (an Egyptologist walking around pyramids with a large black parasol identifying with Egyptian queens). She should be a datalounge icon, but I grind my teeth when she talks.

I'm weawing Queen Victowia's dress.

WWWWWWIPPPPPP

Oh. I'm sowwy.

These prancing Englishwomen hogging the camera are as bad as Instawhores.

I don't want to see your hair, your bosoms, your winkles, nor your thrusting vulvas in tight pants!

Mary Beard is the real thing. Professor of Classics at Cambridge, fellow at Newnham College, Royal Academy of Arts Professor of Ancient Literature. She was made an OBE and now is a Dame Commander. She's earned her place and can seem as potty as she wishes - authenticity trumps twee.

Worsley has a BA with first class honors from New College, Oxford and a DPhil from U of Sussex. She's a curator at heart, and seems to have interpreted that in a unique was to share her enthusiasm for stuff in context. She treats historical figures as phantoms to curate and trivialize. And it's not a dialect or accent. It's rhotacism.

She posted on her site:

[quote]Apparently my problem is my enormously long tongue – its great length means that it rather lazily won’t take the trouble to curl up and form the letter ‘R’ properly. But I promise you it’s not for want of trying on my part! I have even consulted a specialist speech therapist, and she said that to cure the problem I’d have to say ‘R’ correctly as many times as I have said it incorrectly in the past. So, I’m sowwy, but I don’t think there’s much I can do about it.

She’s full of shit. Speech pathologists in American schools cured rhotacism in the 70s. She obviously went to a poor grammar school with neglectful staff.
