cxx666 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Can't say I'm sorry to see him go, I'm not a fan of critics at all. Particularly him. Quote Not impressed with censorship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom. 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 What the actual Fuck. Only the other week he was saying how he turned down TV as he was Radio 1's film buff... I liked James, he was honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel_jp 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Big loss - I liked James King, and as someone who works in cinema & film industry found his reviews really honest and engaging! he has left big shoes to fill..... Wonder who is out there? Iv been hoping that they would get rid of that pair on film 2011 as they are awful and put someone like James King in who knows what the audience want to hear!!

R94N 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 That's a shame. I quite liked those segments on Saturday mornings with Edith. I suppose it'll carry on just without him. Hopefully we'll be able to see him on TV or online or something as like with critics in general I quite like him. Actually the Film 2011 suggestion is a nice idea; maybe he's going there.

awinfield999 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I liked him on the Saturday stuff with Edith. He was honest too, and said it how it was. It will be a shame to see him go Quote Latest Jingles: 2010 Beds Package, 2009 and 2010 ID Packages, Newsbeat 2009/10.http://www.freegary.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E*F*4L 10 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 pity James & Edith didn't get the job on Film 2011, Claudia Winkleman isn't that bad when she isn't gushing over some crap film, but the critic (Danny Leigh) they have on there is useless, nearly every time Claudia thinks a film they are reviewing is fantastic Danny says it's rubbish & then when she says a film is crap he then returns to say it's great, they have no chemistry at all shame to see James leaving, seems strange to go to do a show on ITV2 though, taking a step backwards going there from Radio-1.

kyle_y 10 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 What happened to Edith leaving? Wasn't that announced a while back or am I imagining things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 57 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sad news. As much as I'm not a film fan and despised hearing too much about films on afternoons, he was a valuable asset to Radio 1 and I'm surprised he hasn't been poached sooner. I thought he was going to be doing bigger things at Radio 1 after all those trails for his one-off film show but it seems it was just how he was going to bow out!He'll be missed but I don't think we've seen the last of him.

DC 84 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 just a question, but how long has he been at radio 1? Quote on the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 just a question, but how long has he been at radio 1? Since Kermode left to do Culture Show and movie stuff for 5Live, gotta be at least 5 years? (really not sure on that, could be as much as 10) Quote Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James R 10 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Since Kermode left to do Culture Show and movie stuff for 5Live, gotta be at least 5 years? (really not sure on that, could be as much as 10) Since about 2004 He presented the BBC Radio 1 show OneClick/Film from 2004 to 2006. In 2004, the BBC Radio 1 show James King's Movie News was nominated for a Sony Radio Academy Award in the Information Award category. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_King_%28film_critic%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speakeasy 10 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 He clearly wasn't!! :hahaha:Correction - he still is very honest - and a good critic as well! It's probably all to do with contracts. Anyways, the new ITV2 show is great and gives him a much wider scope for his talents. Good luck James.

MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yeah something hidden away on ITV2 along with such mentally stimulating classics as The Only Way Is Essex, Celebrity Juice, Fearne Meets... and OMG It's Peaches is really gonna help...

speakeasy 10 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 So you obviously put ITV1, Sky, BBC1 & 2 etc in the same category? He's been on them all and still is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
