The Chase. I've caught bits of it and I'm irritated by the big bloke in the suit who I assume is 'the chaser'? my mum in Oz tells me this show is beginning there soon and this rugby-forward type woman in a suit has been everywhere and all over the place promoting it. She asked me "who the heck is that woman who wears a suit all the time, she's everywhere!". I've only seen the huge man on the show so far and he annoyed me. Silly concept.

A silly concept that is one of the most popular quiz shows in the UK? Although going by your rather immature criticisms I guess it's not your kind of show anyway...
You make a fairly common mistake yourself. .. popular doesn't equal good. |

And yes, they do wear a the same suit all the time, it is part of the character they play on the show. |

I think you are on your own with that one, it is a hugely popular programme.

Hmmm, Betty - I think the problem you have is that you have only "caught bits of it" and I do think if you sat through a full show or two it would make more sense to you.

It annoys me a song is used in an advert but they edit it, for example to cut out a couple of bars of instrumental so they can get to the chorus again, or to repeat the chorus when you know verse two should be next.

The voice of the lottery bloke is rather annoying. When he's talking he sounds like someone is sticking pins into him. Can't watch that programme anymore.
At the beginning of this clip is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBbWuk5J6zQ |

When a trailer is shown for a programme and then the announcer bangs on about said programme at the ident. I don't need reminding what was shown about 5 seconds ago!
![]() Also I can't stand it when the announcer hypes up shows. No I don't care who leaves Strictly!

Hmm, that's definitely the irritant - the 'character' element of the suited individual. Nope, just cant take to it - I don't like the big bloke in the suit with the dark hair. Just a personal observation, I'm not a game-show kind of person.
I think the chaser characters are purposely not massively likeable to make you (the audience) root for the contestants. The little people joining together to get a victory over the powerful who sits on high lauding it over them. |

How about ad agencies using cheapo imitations for VOs instead of the real deal? There's an ad currently running using a poor impersonation of Matt Berry's oddball inflections from The IT Crowd - I'd be quite happy if MB's agent sent them a cease & desist letter, it's so bad.
If it is Matt B doing it, that's even worse if he can't do a decent impression of his own character. |

Everyone on the SCD results show pretending it's Sunday when everyone knows it's recorded after the live show on Saturday.

Having a recap after a 3 minute advert of something we've just seen, but series 2 of The Returned never had a recap and the last episode was over a year ago

Films such as the current Bond being reported as "breaking box office records". Means absolutely nothing unless the figures are adjusted for inflation. Of course a popular film will take more in 2015 than one did in 2004 - why is this news?

And on SCD I think the professional dance and the musical guest slots are filmed in advance of the Saturday show so it's a real triumph of editing and pretending. |

Two things today:
1 - The way that you can't figure out the reference to Bournemouth during the opening sequence of Match of the Day (all I can figure out is that George Best once played for them), but the Match of the Day 2 opening sequence reference to them is extremely obvious (their badge on their stadium). 2 - The way most of this series of Doctor Who is made up of two-part episodes. (Remember the days when most of the season were stories that were wrapped up within 45 minutes? Well, you can forget that this year.) |

Panel show comedians who aren't funny and appear on every panel show all the time.
Panel show comedians who shoehorn gags they've written into the show even when it doesn't fit what's being discussed. Panel show comedians. |

I remember the days when most of the stories lasted 4 or more episodes!
