sit-up tv (bid shopping) - OFF AIR

The colour scheme and set colours where Mike's presenting the watches from reminds me a bit of the old iBuy set.

Graphics and presentation have a hint of Yes Price Crash about them... Plus look dated.

'Bid Shopping' would have been a better name and rolls off the tongue a lot better.

Just watched the 'relaunch' back.

Some things that spring to mind:

Bid/Bid TV or Shop at Bid? There's no consistency with the branding.

Mike Mason as the relaunch presenter, too shouty for my liking. Mark Ryes who was on before or Peter Simon should have been given the task of explaining the new format with their solid delivery.

It stinks of a desperate last ditch effort to keep the administrator at bay and if the output tonight is anything to go by, QVC and Ideal World have nothing to worry about.

They certainly knows what they likes:

Clearly trying to please Paul & Val Wright.

I guess this format means that hours or even whole 3.5 hour shows can be easily repeated. That should keep some of the costs down.

I wonder if price-drop will be come something like "shop at bid extra"?

Verdana!?! Well that shows how cheap this was.

Posts from Shop at Bid have been merged into this topic.

Ugh, mods, why do you keep merging and closing threads? It only serves to damage discussions which are in mid flow!

Im confused. .. we get told off for not starting new threads but new developments dont count ???? This is why I wonder should there be a new one.

The graphics look alright on my TV, yesterday i was watching on the webstream.

I knew it wouldn't be long before i heard it on Audio Network!
