Things on TV that annoy you

Noel Edmonds acting as if DOND is a game of skill or that the game itself is a living thing that makes decisions to screw you over.

Recaps of everything after an ad break. This is especially prominent on reality shows.

BLOODY LOUD adverts.

"Next week on..." previews that make the next episode look really exciting and dramatic, and it's not. Hell's Kitchen/Kitchen Nightmares are the worst for this.

CJ and Daphne.

How about you?

The never-ending stream of whingeing "experts" who are wheeled out on Breakfast-time etc to tell us about some "issue" or other that we should be "concerned" about based on some fatuous "report" that their "organisation" has produced, usually at my expense and which inevitably requires further "resources" to be directed to said "organisation".

Bradley Walsh saying 'we' with regard to the contestant e.g. we'll get the money back to the team......If anything Bradley shows bias in the Chaser's favour on the show.

Small talk on gameshows like Pointless. Having watched repeats of the 1st series there's a lot less small talk which makes it much better that later series's with a changed format.

"Let's see what our viewers had to say on Twitter..."

I just don't think it adds anything to shows. It would be better if the politician/celebrity at whom the original Twitter post was directed could respond, and then a discussion between the Twitter user and the politician/celebrity could commence (this is why I don't mind the other technology that is creeping into TV, Skype), but the Twitter user has the final say and when it's a partisan comment (e.g. "Labour made this mess!/the Tories hate the unemployed!"), it's frustrating. Let people watch the show and make their own minds up, don't bring "kev_09"'s opinion into it.

Football pundits droning on for half an hour after a game has finished analysing why Poland were offside, but they weren't really, etc, oh yes the replay says they were out by 1 per cent. Like who cares, get the 90 minutes of a so called game out of the way and then put another show on.

The new need to repeat what happened in the first half after the ads .As if we had forgotten in the ad break what had happened in part one .
The quick zooming and flicking camera work in gardening / cooking / DIY programmes


And Lorraine Kelly , she makes me switch over as soon as I see her

All those ITV1 morning magazine shows with their overly trivial content( is Katie Price dating again?), overbearing and smug presenters and rigged phone competitions. Also they are incredibly sexist, Lorraine Kelly referring to her audience as us women, could you imagine if Jeremy Clarkson mentioned his audience as us men. A lot of women actually find Lorraine, This Morning, Loose Women and the like treat them like idiots who are only interested in soaps, zeleb gossip, diets and X Factor news.

Especially when a non topical story is inserted into the news because later on one of the channel's programmes is covering the subject.

Fast food advertisements, deodorant advertisements, taking out a loan advertisements.
The amount of cringe worthy presenters who can't do interviews properly such as Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross.
Daybreak, Lorraine and Loose Women.

Orange people who grin insanely and say "see you soon.". I often wonder how they manage to do the impossible.

..Pretty much everything that focuses on ''DA YOUFF'' and all the Urban ''innit blud'' lifestyle. Can't (expletive) stand any of it and those who talk about it.

Not that I often watch the BBC news, it just happened to be on when I walked into a room, but tonight at 6.00pm all and sundry looked decidedly "orange."

Series that are not proper series....e.g Russell Howard's Good News...the last four episodes are clip shows...that does NOT equate to a series imo. If he's in Ukraine watching England @ our expense then he should be made to fulfil a contract by putting 100% new episodes.

ITV talk shows that can't get enough proper celebrities to fill their guest slots, so they constantly resort to interviewing other presenters of other ITV talk shows. There's nothing more soul-destroying than watching the Loose Women panel pretending to be absolutely fascinated by a conversation with someone who was interviewing one of them on another show the previous day, and will almost certainly be interviewing one of them next week too!

Constant misuse of the word "decadent", which surely must be the most misused word on TV. It means "in a state of decay or decline", not "luxurious and extravagant!" Someone somewhere along the line got the wrong end of the stick about this word and thought it meant something nice, and nowadays you hear it all the time from presenters, describing everything from clothes to decor to food. IIRC, one supermarket chain was even advertising a range of "decadent" food not long ago! They really need a new dictionary...decadent food would be rotting, decayed and mucky!

Oh, and grown women presenters who talk in ickle fluffy baby girlie voices. It's not cute. It's nauseating!

Ooh, I feel better for getting that off my chest!
