Coach Trip narrator :(

Buchanan0204 · 23 Mar 2011 at 18:08

Anyone else think the narrator on Coach Trip is an absolute balloon. Because of the narrator on "Come dine with me." has proven popular because of his witty humour, it looks as though they've tried to re-create it and it's just failed miserably.

He comes away with some of the unfunniest (if that's a word) quips, it's bordering on cringe worthy, not to mention the fact he sounds like a 10 year old on helium.

Anyone in the same mind frame? Or is it just me

The originial guy, or Comedy Dave?

The one that currently narrates the show. Not sure what his name is

Comedy Dave from Chris Moyles? Is he doing the narration now?

He is indeed.

Is the "Comedy" part of his name supposed to be an attempt at sarcasm?

It is ironic. Supposedly (not my words theirs)

It's funny. You just laugh at him, not with him.

Haha. I think Coach trip is like Big brother for people with an I.Q above 12. It's a group of people stuck together for a set period of time, but rather than being stuck in a stupidly designed house listening to a human speaking clock watching caged animals argue... you get to see different cultures, see some nice places and learn a bit all at the same time.

I'm not one for reality tv, but this is an exception.

My ex was on it earlier this series, was highly amusing to hear her being slagged off by comedy Dave

Coach trip is one of the finer things on TV at the moment.

Craig1981 · 23 Mar 2011 at 19:12

The TVs at my work usually have it on, but since the TVs are muted I had no idea it was him doing the narration. I find it mildly amusing at times, but not something I would seek to watch outside of work.

Coach Trip is ****.

But no higher than 14. It's utter tripe, like the vast majority of TV programming.

I don't think you can direct the criticism at the Narrator - they're only reading a script.

Just like everyone thinks Dave Lamb from Come Dine With Me is brilliant - he's not, he's reading a script:

How much input do you have over what you say?

They go away and film it, they cut, write the script and at the very last minute I read the script to the pictures. I'm allowed to improvise and add a few touches.
