Anne Robinson says TV “sexist and ageist”

annerobinson Anne Robinson says TV sexist and ageist

No shit. And you’re certainly doing a lot to tackle ageism, by refusing to come to terms with your own ageing.

Instead you just buy a new face every few years.

Anne Robinson has spoken of the difficulties female presenters face in the television industry.

In an interview with the Radio Times, the 64-year-old said: “I’m quite pragmatic. If there was a lovely blonde with huge breasts and long legs who had my experience and wit, I’d be out of a job.”

Robinson, who is returning to present the BBC consumer show ‘Watchdog’, continued: “I think all television is sexist and ageist.”

But Robinson also said she felt that younger women working in television had better career prospects than men of a similar age in the UK.

“There are a lot of pretty young things with not much talent appearing on television here, and I don’t think that young guys who are not as attractive would get those gigs,” she said.

    This scary looking woman is complaining? And she believes she has “wit”, when she actually is a man hater and enjoys belittling people on TV while getting paid millions courtesy of the tax payer.

  2. Hi Ironbed, I just think it’s a bit rich of her to mention age related issues, when she seems to be unwilling to accept her own growing older…

    She looks like one of those dodgy mask jobs off that Jason Bynre show.
