The Channel 5 announcer introduces the Columbo episode REQUIEM For A Falling Star. Apparently the main qualification for this job these days is to have a 'trendy' local accent. 5 May 2007.

  • I think an announcer on a national TV channel not knowing the word 'requiem' and how to say it is pretty awful!

  • "Requlem"?

  • @AidanLunn He's not using a natural Welsh accent anyway, the guy's "sexing it up" for comedic effect on like Antoine de Caunes puts on an over the top French accent, and the Big Brother "dee-er foo-our" faux Geordie/Teeside mish-mash voiceover. 5 Star is supposed to be funny and quirky... or something. They're all pre-recorded anyway.

  • new 5usa announcer has the weakest voice .. much prefered that other dude; he gots a much more deep american sounding voice than that pansy ass introducing shows now, urhh

  • That doesn't sound "awful" - just a load of rambling nonsense!

    That guy with the really heavy Welsh accent on "Five Star" - now he really gets on my nerves.

    I thought the idea of an announcer is to announce in an accent that anyone of that language can understand.

    Bit of a mammoth task when his accent is so deep and difficult to decipher that he sounds like he came off Hi-De-Hi!

  • 'most biggest'? #tautology

  • He seems to be having trouble with the English language.
