When they read the questions out twice on Pointless, I know it's irrational but it drives me mad, I heard you the first time you berk!

And Noel Edmonds playing up box 23 on DOND, nobodies ever going to gamble more than a few grand let alone £250,000 with a 1 in 5 chance of getting nothing.

The sponsored by MAOAM clips at the start and end of Big Bang Theory. I find myself hoping the pair in the ad are involved in some kind of laboratory explosion, or that a wormhole opens up and makes them disappear from my tv forever.

People on property programmes with budgets over £500K. The other day I saw a couple on Escape to the Country with a budget of £1.5M!! I turned the TV straight off!

How through the years, Xmas Day TV has gotten crappier and crappier and crappier.

Really pisses me off that. Why can't there just be an ident on after the credits saying "Next on <channel>, <programme>" rather than the continuity announcer talking ALL the way through the closing credits, such as mentioning the twitter hashtag or the BBC Apprentice website despite it being shown on a graphic at the start of the programme.

Do they think people are that stupid that they will forget a twitter name or the BBC Apprentice website address EVERY single week?

That's why I like watching programmes on catch up, do you don't get any of that crap!!

Constant overuse of term "Coming up".

"Coming up in today's programme..."

"Coming up next week..."

etc etc

Completely unnecessary and redundant!

That's because it *is* the same episode every day.

Come Dine With Me having constant reminders of what happened in the previous episodes. Why does this even exist? It's a waste of 4 MINUTES!

Channel 4 talking over the credits in The Simpsons. They had the episode "Lisa the Iconoclast" on today and the bastards talked over the entire Jebediah Springfield song in the credits to tell us that Stardust was on next!

Adverts which give prices as a series of digits, while all other numerical info is said as usual.

eg 'Four core PSQ with thirty-six gig RAM for three-seven-nine.

Ad-breaks before they should be done! And Credit-Squeezing/Voice-overs during theme music at the end of a show - especially when it was a sad or poignant one!

I hate this as well! GOLD did it the other day with the end of the 'Chain Gang' episode of 'Only Fools & Horses'. I know it's years old and we've all seen it but it's that end line and Del's face as he's going to get his revenge....and we end up with it in a quarter of the screen while the VoiceOver starts talking over it! Grrrr!

I know they all do it and they must know we hate it, but still they continue. I've never yet thought oh you know what I was going to turn over and watch the last episode of Homeland but now I won't because you have just interrupted the programme I am currently watching to tell me about a repeat of some shite I didn't watch the first time round😱

Any phone-in, news report, interview or suchlike where the person concerned opens the answer to a question with the word "basically".

The couple on the 'Maoam - the fruity chew' sponsor things; especially any of them which involve Emily holding her mouth open.

I was watching the footie on SKY yesterday and after the game the presenter started plugging the availability of movies on SKY's on demand service and it's not the first time. I pay for SKY Sports just for that, the sport, not to be sold other services.

Might have been mentioned before - and it's not really about the tv show but posters on here asking stupid questions after of during shows.


Was just reading a thread and was amazed at some of the questions asked.

e,g,
people discussing a character. Another poster asks when that character appears "oh yes, there he is now"

another poster "Who was that character?"
What! You mean the ****ing MURDERER? You have such a low attention span that you didn't realiser that the character was the MURDERER? It's a real life drama. In real life the guy was jailed and you have no idea even in the show he's just confessed?


FFS put your phone/tablet/laptop down and watch the ****ing show and maybe you'll understand what is going on!!!!

E4's announcement...

"Now it's time for Melissa and Joey. Who make up a program called Melissa and joey."

I want to strangle them.

The ITV london news who start a story then have the cheek to direct you to their website to read it in full. Why start a story if you aren't going to finish it?

Saturday night between Match of the Day and The Football League Show:

"The winning numbers for tonight's Lottery are confirmed as blah blah blah. Early indications show blah blah blah."

There are two reasons this annoys me:
1 - They've been confirmed? So you mean to say the numbers we saw drawn may not have been drawn?
2 - "Early indications"? The update is usually about three hours after the draw. So how can they be "early indications"?

Halfway through Christmas Day on Emmerdale, everyone is wearing Christmas hats and outside ..... a beautiful shot of green countryside with trees in full leaf.
