The fact that every programme on commercial TV seems to need a sponsor these days.
And announcers cutting into end title sequences to say what's on next or when the next episode of the show is on. We know, we've all got TV guides and EPG's, just shut the **** up! |

Someone posted about contestants who shouldn't be allowed on quiz shows as they are just so stupid.
Even the not so smartest should get easy general knowledge questions. Yesterday on a show three people didn't know that Captain Cook's first name was James

A contestant on Tipping point yesterday thought that
'an american comedy/drama that featured Kim Cattrall, whose programme name was shortened by fans to SITC,' was 'Friends'. Same contestant also thought 'the dictator who ruled Italy from before WW2 to just before the end of WW2, was Stalin! How do these idiots get on the show in the first place? Surely they have some basic vetting to filter out these cretins? |

On Pointless when Alexander Armstrong reads out the options twice.
The other thing that niggles me is that the presenters are over-polite. They often both say sorry to the contestant when they get an answer wrong! |

The phrase "It's a good answer, but it's not right"
![]() It's NOT a good answer - it's the WRONG answer ! |

The fact that BBC One has new episodes of Pointless Celebrities from Saturday, but we almost certainly won't be seeing new episodes of the daily show until September.

Escape To The Country
When they put a piece of film in it totally irrelevant to house hunting. Saw one the other day . A rich couple in dorset ,went round with the presenter looking at houses. Then ,the next piece of film was the presenter going to a local farm to see their local cheese produce ...WTF has that got to do with house hunting! |

Channels that have nights dedicated to a certain show but only show a certain amount on a loop...
I find Dave is the worst offender.. not only do they endlessly repeat thier programmes anyway, but if they have a QI/Not Going Out/Red Dwarf night, it'll be the same three episodes on a constant loop from about 9pm til 2am. |

I think the idea is to show what the local area is like but, I agree, all we want to see are the houses. |

When GOLD has a themed evening or weekend when they dedicate the channel to a certain programme or person and end up just showing the same old repeats they show regularly anyway.

Documentary channels with reverse cymbal effects and whizzes and banging sounds on every programme that is sensationalised to the hilt usually filled with "experts" stating the obvious, particularly on every CI, National Geographic, History Channel programme.,

Making a programme about a programme, like last night's pathetic tribute show to WDYTYA .
Cheap and nasty time filler, thanks BBC. With all the money they make from selling the format to dozens of countries you'd think the BBC would want to make some NEW TV programmes. |

We recently got into Not Going Out and wanted to watch all the episodes. . We record them on series link and they only seem to show the few we've seen. The next episode on Gold is the Lesbian one. . Seen it. And one day he's got the American land lady and the next he's got the English one that can't act.

I'd have to say Joe Swash and Jennie McAlpine getting on every quiz show/chat show/game show/anything really...
Its like they're having a competition among themselves to see who can get on the most TV shows... Also I hate it when the announcers (Particularly Channel 4's) tell you what's about to happen! I was watching something a couple of days ago on E4 and the announcer at the end of the episode said something that actually didn't happen until the next episode. So basically told me what was going to happen. Totally clueless and annoying. |

The "Coming up" sections on every show. Come Dine With Me is particularly guilty of this! I don't need a preview of what's happening. Also, programmes on BBC do this too despite them having NO ADVERTS!
