Re: Is it just me...
Not so much that, rhosyn, but in those antique/collectable programs, Bargain Hunt, Antiques Road Trip etc, I always want to see more of the things the experts/contestants don't look at, in the background there are many interesting items they haven't bothered to look at & I shout at the TV, go look at that (whatever it was) you pillock.

Re: Is it just me...
It’s when the speaker starts waffling on that l tend to look behind them! Some have some nice pictures hanging on their walls! I am interested to see what books they read too!It makes me smile if their landline phone or their mobile phone starts ringing in the background and they can’t do anything about it....but look awkward!
I loved listening to Professor Tom Solomon from University Of Liverpool He works in a laboratory and specialises in Virology, Epidemiology, Neurology plus others.
I was so interested in what he had to say that l didn’t need to look at what was behind him!

Sloppy people (the mayor of London) do skyping from their bedroom!
Very few make any effort.

I'm normally focused on their nostrils or the fact hat they are looking in the wrong direction whilst talking to us. I don't normally take notice of the background, although the other day we were trying to see which books they had on the shelf.We also do a bit of 'kitch' bitchin' too D00d.

I remember seeing Carole Malones kitchen with only one bottle of wine left in the wine rack above the fridge. Me and Mrs Bread talked about this more than the hospitalisation of Boris Johnson at the time of the interview.
Kevin McGuire needs to get the photos on the wall of his kids sorted too, it's very irritating how people think its OK to hang photos on the wall that aren't level
