Nope, he doesn't drink apparently so this is stone cold sober David at his unhinged best.


I'm starting to wonder if Tumbly and David are related.

I don't know but in the time he's been here, I'd have thought it would have been asked sooner unless this is new for everyone. Just I'm noticing how over the course of a few months David's been getting steadily more unusual like someone who stopped taking some medication for just this reason, he didn't seem this way before but now... now we find he's as inept as Tumbly and is a bit of a stalker for a presenter on a very low-rate quiz channel.

I'm hoping any day now he will come out and say it was all a front, it'll make so much more sense than he does now.

Will, such blasphemy is very culturally insensitive on a day like today.

Yeah.. though on the brightside you've got by my watch 10 minutes to wait and then you can say it.

Next time, don't use Movie Maker. It limits the imagination by using plain and boring templates.
I would suggest you use something around the lines of After Effects or Photoshop or Inkscape or GIMP. Just please, don't use Movie Maker!

This has to be the worst mock ever Shocked


Well, obviously that is a matter of opinion but it currently has a two star rating which obviously makes it a better mock than those rated 1 star at least in the collective eyes of TV Forum.

All alone on Christmas Day, David?


I spent 3 days over Christmas with my family which is why I didn't post on TV Forum on Christmas day at all. I'm not sure what point you were making by posting on Christmas day yourself but thanks for your concern anyway.

The mock is surely profiling the posters editing ability, I could well imagine something ideally going out on channel like Avago, the only things that were probably not right was the text that came up.

Yes, I think the collection of clips and the editing still just about works. I agree with the words looking terrible, I could blame Microsoft Windows Movie Maker but I think my lack of design skill also plays a large part. I could pay for the most expensive software and still not come up with anything better.

I've given this mock a high mark as a result.


Thank you, kind sir.

I'm starting to wonder if Tumbly and David are related.


Thank you for your interest. As far as I know, Tumble Tower and myself are not related.

I take your advice on board but I really don't think I should blame my tools here. You don't have to worry though. This is not a hobby I am about to continue.

It is far from the worst for as long as such luminaries as Rapier whatever continues to make mocks. Still, added insight to this whole mock and the inner machinations of the deranged can be found on his (I assume it's his) YouTube page, of particular note are the channel comments, read from the earliest through to the most recent for a glimpse into this sad little world he inhabits.


Admittedly the channel comments look a little odd. That is because the comment I was replying to has been deleted (the account was deleted so the comments seem to have gone with it). Other than the fact that it now appears I am talking to myself, what did you find that was 'deranged'?

As inept as Tumble Tower in what? If you are talking about mock making (which is what you should be talking about) then I don't believe I have seen a mock from Tumble Tower so he could be an expert Mock Maker for all I (or you) know.

I am not a stalker. My "relationship" to Charlotte 'Gane' Gane was one of presenter/viewer, nothing more. Just like, let's say, you and Peter Sissons or Aled Jones and Jesus. You are probably not aware of Avago since you incorrectly call it a 'quiz channel'. You should know that Avago stopped broadcasting in 2006 and apart from a brief stint on Bid TV, that was the last time I am aware of Miss Gane presenting on television. I enjoyed watching her on Avago and I was a fan of her work. Don't you have memories of old television programmes and presenters you used to enjoy?

I'd like to quote from an independent review if I may:

"He's subverting the forum. He's being a post-TumbleTower pseudo-member. He has a series of running jokes, some knowing, sharp, sometimes ultra-satirical humour, which sometimes it misses the mark if he's trying too hard or attempting to fashion humour round weak material.

Some people won't get this of course."

"It's not a joke, nor is it serious. It's a whole lot more subtle than that. And it's seemingly lost on you, Phil and others, so try not to make sense of it, lest your head explode."


It sounds like the King is naked to me, but I've put those written references on my CV and if it helps me on my journey to becoming BBC Director General one day then so be it.

What does that even mean? It's a kick in the teeth but its better than being stabbed?

At least you don't believe somehow better tools will make your work better though you have no discernible skill doing this sort of thing, that's one good thing.

Because of your creepy little stalker comments, even if the deleted comments were still there it wouldn't be less creepy just because it was given context.

Tumble Tower is inept in existing and all he touches is turned into mouthbreathing idiocy. You have that touch so that's why I and others made the connection between you and Tumbly, it has nothing to do with mocks and all to do with you and how your posts are usually made up of the mundane and/or the myopic. This quote alone makes that clear, I don't know what Avago was and I don't care either but you, you made it a lot more than just presenter/viewer in your own words and actions so don't make really bad stretches of logic in order to justify what you did.

Yes, you know I've read those too and they're not exactly gleaming positive reviews, just people who saw between the gaps and made conclusions because you're of an unknown quantity. Like I said, having a sense of humour doesn't exclude one from being bat **** insane when not making with the funny however limply you try.

Yes, I get that you are talking about my deranged and creepy little stalker comments but an example would be useful here.

Mundane and/or myopic? On a forum related to television presentation? Really? I mean, at least train spotters leave the house for their hobby.

I don't actually need to justify anything. I made a mock for a channel that no longer exists. I'm not the first and I won't be the last. You can also see mocks for such things as The Big Breakfast and the ITV News Channel on here. There are also posts in other threads on this very forum where someone has turned up uninvited at a television studio to meet the people they have seen on TV. I'm not sure why making a mock promo is considered stalker material but having your photograph taken with an actor after you have waited outside their place of work is fine.

In summary, I am not a stalker.

... I don't think you're quite understanding my point here.
