now looks as though she has had porridge surgically implanted under her skin.

Fronting the short "are newspapers dead yet?" series on BBC2 - the show is merely adequate; as usual she is extraordinarily ghastly.

The only person I know with glottal stops in her brain.

Actually, Part One wasn't bad; though it told me nothing I didn't already know, it talked to the right people (Murdoch; Rusbridger).

And Janet saved costume budget by wearing her grandmother's old yellow coat.

How can you say she has no talent JK ? Can you think of an uglier, more common woman ?

Always remember the very accurate send up of her by Pamela Stephenson discussing fat people on 'Not the Nine O'clock News' all those years ago.

Didn't Kenny Everett and Cleo Rocos both dress as her for a sketch as "Janny Shtwait Pawuh" ?

"Shpray that again Janet"

found it, there it is

or an even bigger version

You can tell it isn't the real Janet as Kenny has less facial hair.

Easy to pick on Janet's voice, appearance etc.

It happens to children in the playground every day.

But she is new/different, innovative and still making people think - in a fast changing media.

Unlike JK, wot only runs his own website - for instance !

Janet who ?

Yes - its easy to knock Janet SP and to pass around clips on here. Very easy target is JSP, with the teeth, accent etc.

But still working hard...in the UK, US and Australia; people there listen. To what she says about whats happening in the media - and what was, and what will.

Recently saw her in the Mean Fiddler in Manhattan - a standing ovation for clear thinking logic.

Do you laugh at the child prodigy next door, with the haired lip ?

Probably...

Put it all in the same post under the same name in future please Trevor/Tony (we'll probably dump it anyway!).

What a lot of playground nonsense. Sour grapes anyone? When i remarked that one of your home pics were unflattering JK, you refused to post it. It wasn't meant to hurt your feelings. Now you spew crap about how the woman looks and sounds. This thread says more about some than most. Do grow up.

He'll have to get up early to catch you out JK (or use 2 IP addresses).

I wonder if JSP (more like OAP) will find husband number 5 soon ?

So ok so Janet is not the best looking person on tv, with an unusual voice. Does this remind you of anyone who had a tv programme in the 80's looking at entertainment in the usa.

I can't think of one that had as little talent as her, no

We see you're a JK fan, mike - but why lie ? Even JK has'nt come back on this/his thread in his usual way, a bit too close to home - about a younger lady who continues to achieve in three continents, without the need for personal insults ?!

One reply per IP number is more than enough Fran/Tony/Trevor.

I've never understood the appeal of Janet Steet Porter, but I'm often out of step with the mainstream.

I'm reluctant to knock Janet Street Porter for her looks-they were a great gimmick when she first started but what struck me is that I never realised she regarded herself as a femme fatale-according to those who know her well. They describe a woman who always headed straight for the blokes in a room and started flirting with them.

So I was rather pleased to finaly see her on "Cranky Old Woman".

I have a few friends (shock!!) who work in theatre and she is predatory by reputation and assumes her "charm" will encourage younger men into her clutches. I suppose when it fails to work she takes her bile out on others who are somewhat more successful at it ?

the thought of janet street's clutches is quite off putting especially as i have just eaten

there should be some filter system or warning on these messages
