When at the end of a program they show all the best bits of the next episode. Grr!

on a couple of US dramas they show at the beginning whats about to bloody happen! which brings me to one thing that the mute button cant help with. Why oh effin why do so many US programmes still show opening credits when programme has already beeen on 10 mins

We may hate them, but we have them firmly in our mind, so they work.

The Paul O'Grady Show usually consisted of constant screams or loud segments telling everyone what was coming up next. I often wondered what they fed the audience with in order to find everything on the program so worth busting their own eardrums for ?:angry:

That Go Compare one is up there with the Dell one with the men in the factory singing "Lollypop, lollypop, ooh lollypop..." for total and utter tediocrity. The one for Direct Line where Stephen Fry and Paul Merton do the voices "Oi buzz of beaky, any voluvants left and they're ours..." is another.

I respect Paul Samrah for his work leading to the Falmer Stadium approval, but I wish I had a remote for every time he introduced 'our very own BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBIIIIOOON' :cry:

At least he has stopped saying 'Falmer Bound!'

His voice amplified by the speaker does my head in!

At least you can hear what Paul says. I can never make out what Attilla is saying. Mind you I wish I had not heard Paul say on Boxing Day that there was 1 more wet Christmas at Falmer. I'm sure that depressed the crowd before the game kicked off.

The ones that gets me right now are the COOP ads where they have used a Scottish voiceover man simply to try and get the word "GOOD" to rhyme with "FOOD". It doesn't. No matter what bloody accent you use. Tossers.
