Feel sorry for Julian as TCC seems to be wavering on the brink. I bought some ribbon from them this week and I have received it so hopefully they are going to limp on and make it into 2017. Anthony Heywood came on earlier in the week and was saying what a great host Julian is , he was staying at Julian's house. Anthony has applied for his green card so he probably won't be sticking around.
Just read some gossip on a craft forum that they are being taken over by another company...
I wonder if that's JM, I don't watch these days, but I did see Derek Marks, formerly of Gems and then TJC, say something about them (JM) starting a crafting channel, and to watch this space!
Awww, I love Julian and the Craft Channel Selfishly though, I would prefer a channel that would post to Greece, I SO miss QVC craft. I am a great fan of Anna Griffin stuff and I can't get it any more unless I bid for bits on ebay.
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Has our Derkie left TJC, I thought I hadn't seen him on there recently? Instead they've brought in two gabblers from Gemporia and the fella is particularly useless....not a patch on Derek. Is JM the original Jewellery Maker channel set up by Steve Bennett?
I heard last night that John Scott is going to be on Rocks&Co only one weekend a month next year. He has a lot of fans, who can't stand watching the over loud screeching female presenters. They'll lose some business.

I like to hear about the other channels @sacha,. I have never bought anything from the jewellery channels as I am not as canny as you and the others about what is a bargain.
Yes @sacha, Derek left a few months ago. He's got lots of irons in the fire, and I think the long commute was starting to wear thin, plus his association with the former CEO of TJC, who's now in charge at JM. The Bennetts sold JM a while ago.
Thanks @incognito . Was that the very tall well built chap, Richard, who I heard had left TJC. I liked him, always very easy and clear to listen to when he joined in with the presenting......unlike Amit!
Perhaps with a bit of luck Derek will appear on Rocks&Co, I've always like his chatty casual way of presenting. A complete contrast to Chlo-mo who seems to get rattier and bossier with each show.....if the expensive ( and not so expensive) stuff doesn't sell. She nearly went down into melt down at the weekend!
And she was only selling some twenty quid scarves.
