It's understandable you might not see presenters with colds (though you often do with coughs), but how come nobody ever really gets a cold in soaps. They only ever visit the doctor if either pregnant before 16 or terminally ill!


I distinctly remember Emily Bishop suffering from a cold and sore throat once.

As for presenters, a good nasal decongestant opens up your tubes and allows you to speak normally, providing your throat isn't affected.

I saw that and remember Sophie taking over from Anna.

Jeremy Clarkson had a cold on Top gear last month (accodring to him he had bird flu) Rolling Eyes

The only time I've seen an actor with a cold as oppose to a presenter is an episode of watching where Emma Wray had a cold which wasn't relevant to the script.

and in the film Cider House Rules one of the orphans has a cold in one scene which may have just been the actor

Forget? I didn't even know it happened. Has anyone got a working version of the video? The one on the BBC site doesn't seem to work.

Similar things happening here though...

I remember flicking through the channels and catching them introduce Newsround on the CBBC Channel, so I thought I'd have a watch. Good job I did, as it featured the normal visuals with a nice coughing soundtrack. Lizo obviously had a problem with his voice. He really struggled to get more than a few words out at a a time. Instead of going back to CBBC continuity as you would expect, they let it carry on for the rest of the bulletin, meaning around 3 minutes out of 4 were complete nonsense.
