On Tipping Point if a contestant interrupts a question and gets it right Ben Shephard still reads the full question out after the round, even if he'd read out most of the question and we know what it was because of the player's correct answer.

The media around TV is insufferable. I hate generalised tabloid articles such as "show's viewers think this" which then go on to list 4-5 tweets out of tens of thousands. I'm fairly sure I could choose any topic ("show's viewers watch while juggling wine bottles and playing the flute") and there'd be as many tweets as are used in these articles.

The way people eat crisps, and food in general, in food adverts.

Intercut with spliced pieces from the episode with the presenter going, "it's incredible", "this is just amazing!" etc

I think they were generally "two thousand and eight" and so on until "twenty ten" came along. Not that it remotely bothers me either way!
The over-pronouncing the 'H' in words like 'white' as Stewie does in 'Family Guy'. |

Continuity announcers talking/shouting over end credits, especially when the end credit is part of a music documentary, and the specially-composed end credit music forms part of the show.

When a story in your local area makes the BBC news and then the regional news programme immediately afterwards runs the same story, with the presenter saying "As we've just seen on the national news....blah....blah"
Well exactly - we've just seen it! You don't need to tell us again.[/QUOTE I'd imagine that must happen a lot in the London news region, seeing as so many stories on the national news eminate from/involve London. Say an airliner goes down (I know, I know, touch wood...) and one solitary British person was on it - they'll track down someone from Leicester or Sheffield etc who was in the same class as the casualty for one year during primary school 20 years ago or something... |

I can't stand to watch shows with loud audiences that clap and hoot wildly. The noise created always seems to be 10 x that of whatever is being presented/is happening.

When newsreaders pretend to read out a quote, usually only about two words, from a piece of paper they're holding.

Those who mention a year just by it's number, but feel they must say 'the year 2000'.

Presenters standing in front of a large video screen and pretending to swipe it with their hand to bring up another picture always looks pathetic

Anyone who (This includes you,Dara O'Briain!) pronounces
the letter 'H' as 'Haitch'. It's 'aitch. No aspirate. Look it up in a dictionary.There is NO SUCH LETTER AS H A I T C H!!! |

When a show like The Chase for example has a celebrity special and the audience laugh and whoop twice as loud as they ever would when 'ordinary' people are on. Why do they do that? Is there less reason to be polite if it is celebs?

Yes that's right, there is NO studio audience for the normal Chase.

![]() Wimbledon can happen, now, and I barely even notice it. (Sport is blanket zapped from my Digiguide, together with game shows, reality TV and soaps, so I don't even really notice the gaps.) |

This was many years ago but I'm still baffled at the madness of it and race to stop a recording before the 'next week' bit comes on at the end of a drama ever since.
It was in ER, Dr Mark Green had been
Spoiler
What was the point of that?! |

When continuity announcers take the piss out of the programmes. Happens a lot with the soaps, but the example that really annoyed me recently was an episode of Hawaii Five-0 where the young lad who Steve had taken under his wing was mourning the loss of his criminal father. As the end credits rolled, the continuity announcer came on and said in a sarcastic voice "Aaah! I almost felt sorry for him...! "

There's a sports presenter/reporter on BBC Breakfast and the News channel who constantly talks about ''you guys this'' and ''you guys that''. He seems to have a very limited vocabulary, he's not actually very good as he frequently makes mistakes, Nagar rather took the mick out of him this morning (which was probably unfair).
