merryJim 1 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Well its either Discovery or National Geographic. Theres a guy on a program there, his name is Ian Wright (sp?) - and he is just so annoying. But he seems to have fans there and people who like his style. Anyone else seen him? Is he just stoned all the time or what? Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 i think he's pretty popular in canada. he writes for some travel magazines aswell. i know he writes a column in "outpost" and in writing he isnt half bad. but i know what you mean about the annoyingness. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I could stand him in a paper form but drives me nuts. Next time you see his " Ian Wright" live show, count how many times he says "yeah" in a sentance. I went for a beer "yeah" & I saw this chick "yeah" and "yeah" "yeah" "yeah" "yeah" friks me off!

joshnii 2 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 In the wrong mood he can be annoying, but I don't mind him. Different from the normal documentary style and he gets to some interesting places. I wonder how he got to be doing that though in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I enjoy his dry straight off the street style. No big airs (?) and graces, no smoothies - just unkempt Ian. I imagine he's the same of screen. Coincidentally, this topic came up recently in a chin wag with a group of us foreigners and it seemed the U.S. companions amongst us were most negative towards "oi wotsizname - ian". Not able to tune in with the laddish isle persona & accent I thought. Look forward to the next dusty frog & toad. Cheers Ian. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 i like how he has been everywhere but doesnt brag about it etc like most travel buffs. hes not particularly funny but hes watchable. the other lonely planet presenters suck too, with the exception of that arty guy who did a great show from somewhere in the US.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Personally I can't stand the bloke, his style almost seems forced. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I can cope with him. I've seen him do a few rock interviews EPGs as well. Permenantly stoned, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I met the guy once. He was really down to earth fun bloke to be around. Pretty much how he is ok tv. Link to post Share on other sites
