Things that annoy you on TV

A couple of things which are on the rise and really infuriating.

Firstly when you watch a programme and they spend the first 3-4 minutes showing you what you're about to watch, thus taking any surprise element out of it.

Secondly when they come back from a break and spend the first few minutes reminding us what has happened so far, as if you can't remember as far back as 5 minutes ago.

Thirdly Family Fortunes, a classic gameshow which has been doubled in time and has the abhorrant Vernon Kay presenting celebrities winning prizes and generally pissing themselves at everything he utters.

Almost everything but especially Eastenders, Paddy 'No likey, no lighty' McGuiness, the terribly obvious scripting on The X Factor ('One or two members of Take That couldn't sing' 'NO U!!!!' etc etc), Tulisa NDubz and the fact that the last two Doctor Who episodes were more than a little disappointing :thumbsup:

Generally I find I just don't watch things that annoy me. The thing that annoys me that I can't really just turn over from is the commentary and "expert" analysis of football matches. I've taken to listening to music or podcasts while watching games now though, so usually avoid it.

Those bloody Co-Op adverts where they try to rhyme "food" with "good", by saying it in a vague Scottish brogue. The word food does NOT rhyme with the word good. Winds me up.

I know what you mean.....it annoys me too. Is the accent Scottish or some other dialect?
