I'm fed up of Peter Dickson's voice

Who's Northern Bias?

The problem is that there are few distinctive voiceovers out there - so advertisers are going to pick recognisable voices - that's why Tesco, Morrisons, WHSmith, and others, use celebrities to do their voiceovers.

Have a look here and see the other voices Mr Dickson can do.

I really was just about to say this too!

He's every where at the moment.

A victim of his own success maybe?

E4 = Yes.
X Factor = No.

Probably a perfectly nice guy though.

It'd be ok if he kept his 'big' voice for just The X Factor, and used his normal voice elsewhere, but then you've got him using that big voice on the likes of The Paul O'Grady Show 'P Team' section and on adverts which is too much

Oh I love him and his use of the word "ruddy". Granted, it can get a bit irritating on a bad day for me, but that's the idea I suppose.

As for the announcer who is always on BBC1, whoever he is (someone here should know), he's always on, and I think we need a bit of a change there.

I meant as in if I hadn't added the "including London" bit someone on here would bound to take it the wrong way & say I was having a go at all the Mancunian accents you hear on TV (although that bald bloke who pushes over the windows saying "you buy one, you get one free" is annoying.

It's up to the client which voice he does, not him.

I remember when Peter used to be a late Friday night DJ on Radio Two.

Peter Dicksons Nightcap some weeks was an absolute riot.
Basically made up of the bits that Steve Wright In The Afternoon rejected for being 'out of target reference'.

Best bit - Apart from Brian Perkins Theater Of Imcompetence, we once had to listen to Rory McGrath talking for a 5 solid minutes on 'facts' about the London Underground. Most of them rubbish - all of them funny.

As the jingles used to go :-
"Peter Dickson - you may not like him, but he's better than Patrick Lunt..yeahhhh. Believe me kids, once a time ago - that line was very funny...

"biased to the north" is the phrase you're looking for - I knew what you meant: the way you said it made it sound like a name.

Alan Dendicote (sic?). Of "Voice of the Balls" and Deadlycoat/Wogan fame?

Roger, the word 'sic' is for use when you are intentionally quoting a mistake, not for possible spelling mistakes on your part - you should probably use (sp?). Just for future reference.

It's "Dedicoat".

you've never listened to wogan then?
