Do you avoid otherwise good shows because of a particular character/presenter/actor?

In my case I avoid the actor Russell Tovey, as his tendency to overact gets on my t*ts!

    Anything involving Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsey, Anne Robinson or anyone else who has set out to build a public persona of being bullying and obnoxious.

    Too right.
    The BBC F1 coverage (pre race) was awful when Jake Humphries was presenting it. Now he is all over the commercial channels pushing BT sport. Can't escape from the blighter.

    Graham Norton & his equally over excited and squeeky equivalent on C4 are other turn offs (Indeed, `not turn on`)

    I see that Michael McIntyre has a new chat show on BBC. Another one for me to avoid.

    Phil Spencer because of saying 'thank you, buddy' to a stag he enjoyed killing.

    Keith Lemon and Richard Bacon because I find them irritating.

    I despise Nick Grimshaw. I have no idea why, I just can't stand him at all.

    I'm another one who turns off the minute Keith Lemon appears..Kerry Katona, Jordan and anyone from TOWIE/MIC also have me reaching for the off switch pretty quickly!

    Another one who turns off whenever I see the odious Keith Lemon appear. Isn't it about time this idiot was banished from our screens?

    Anything that involves Kym Marsh/Ryder/Marsh/Lomas/Ryder presenting or 'acting'.
    I don't know what it is, but I cannot stand the woman.

    Yes, the Whites Stripes really went downhill when Meg was replaced by Sarah Millican.

    Any documentary programme which has the name of the presenter in the title, with a very few exceptions.
    The other night there were three programmes on different channels at the same time, all with a "name" in the title, I avoided them all.

    Also I fast forward through some programmes where a "name" is there just for "window dressing."

    Like Fiona Bruce in; "Antiques Roadshow."

    I avoid her presence in as many as six appearances in the same programme. Michael Aspell was never as much "in your face."

    Whitehall that is what I meant you see he irritates me so much I can barely remember his surname. And I have no doubt the white stripes would go downhill with Sarah Millican as a member.;-)

    Also Jonathan Ross, Jeremy Clarkson and Amanda Lamb.

    Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby annoy me. Particularly together but I avoid them by themselves too like The Cube and Surprise Surprise. I do watch Dancing on Ice because I like Christine and Torvill and Dean!

    Jack Whitehall definitely.
    I think I might have to add Neil Oliver to the list because he has become one of the dullest people on earth.
    Mark Horton, the Coast presenter, really disturbs me. What's wrong with him?
    I saw Russell Howard once and didn't last thirty seconds.

    I've never seen Keith Lemon because I've always managed to switch channels before he came on.

    Oh and as for actors, I loathe Rupert Graves and his incredibly annoying over-acting and need to enunciate ev-e-ry sing-le sy-lla-ble. He's good-looking though. He was very cute in his younger days.

    And Jonathan Rhys Myers - creepy little thing, he is.

    Anything involving either Vernon Kay or Keith Lemon is a no-no for me.

    (Not that I'm suggesting that any of their shows would be good even without them). :o
