The way that commercial channels co-ordinate their ad breaks, meaning that you have to escape to BBC News to avoid them.
Trivial things that annoy you about TV

reporters in a media scrum shouting out questions at politicians in the street... probably it's more about the reporter than the politician

Are you saying you want every programme on TV to be live?
As for the "pretence", it does fool people. I remember once having a chat with an old boy who was blissfully convinced that just because Richard Whiteley used to say "It's [day/date]" on every episode that meant it was indeed live
I couldn't bring myself to shatter his illusion...”

Aaahhh, I can remember my Mum explaining Brucie's "you're so much better than last week's" audience joke to me. I really had no idea about recording it in advance until then.

Nothing wrong with recording - just don't pretend it's live!
Continuity.
This was in a film but it still fits.
Drunk girl goes to bed in her clothes.
Wakes up middle of the night and she's in her nighty.
When did that happen?

The contestants on Catchphrase. Why do they always have to act like idiots ? just play the game and keep your mouths shut, we don't need to hear you talking rubbish after every guess.
I also think they should rename that show, it's not Catchphrase at all, it's Say What You See. They actually say Say What You See more times than they do Catchphrase throughout the show

That diabolical continuity voice over on Channel Four. I can't make out what is being said at all. What accent is it?

the female is welsh but there's also an old sounding guy who gives you the impression he's on the brink of suicide.

no.... the one i'm thinking off is definitely from the valleys, surely there cant be more than one
Yes there is a Welsh lady and also a West Indian lady.
Apparently they advertised for people with strong regional accents to do the voice overs.

The red button nag logo. Yes we know there's a red button, but we're not watching that channel because we've chosen to watch this one.
Was just watching Shaun the Sheep and in the first minute I see the CBBC logo next to a "NEW" on screen graphic followed by a giant on screen graphic in the bottom right telling us the programme has subtitles.
Not only is this bloody annoying but it's CLUTTERED and just looks godawful!

Channel 5 is extremely loud when my TV volume is set to 28 but BBC One is extremely quiet?, very annoying.

Try delving into your TV or recorder settings. There might be a setting which automatically equalises the volume.
The amount of times people say 'AMAZING' - there are other adjectives - could someone please use some........
Furniture companies promising delivery of new furniture before Christmas*. It's 106 days until Christmas Eve (if you don't include today), so I'd be surprised if they couldn't.
* - Apparently, there was a commercial stating this during The Chase today.

FANTASTIC is the one that gets me.
I blame TV talent shows.

Thats AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC!
I get irked by nature documentaries that insist on using sound effects for every creature. Knowing full well that two bods in a back room somewhere are creating the effects with bits of paper and old coffee cups doesn't help but I just wish they would record some ambient sound for those times when insects are moving. In real life if we were watching ants run along a branch we wouldn't hear anything! A recent one had penguins sounding like they were wearing hobnail boots.
Motor Sports presenters who have annoying voices:
David Coulthard: 'Worrald', "Keemee Raikonen'. 'Daneeel Keevyat'
Tim Harvey: Nasal utterings
Jason Plato: Stick to driving

About 2 minutes before the end of Shaun the Sheep this giant DOG appears in the bottom right, with a vertical line going halfway up the screen, saying about some Shaun jigsaw puzzle on their website. It takes up about 20% of the screen! Piss off with the screen clutter!
Sky soccer Saturday pundits trying to be more excited/shouty than each other !!!!!!!

When weather presenters constantly express surprise at good weather in September, shouldn't they know by now it always improves once the schools start again?
