What annoys you most about TV programmes?

I get irritated when people who should know better speak of “nucular” instead of nuclear. How often now do you hear “would of” or “could of” instead of “… have”. Eyerag and Eyeran – why? Surely Iraq and Iran? Oh, and those who, in reply to question in an interview, begin their answer with “So……”. I suppose it supplants “Er…”. “Umm…” and “Well” but it so irritates me.

But life is too short to get upset (it is getting longer however as each day passes) and I’ll calm down in the workshop by hanging a new door.

Excellent documentaries all round, but why have irritating music over the voices can hardly hear interesting information. .Which is what informative programs are about…furious I wish I could pull the plug on musos in these shows.I often have to switch to nonsence programes..Angry and frustrated by this..

Why oh why are we given stage directions on so many programmes. It is getting to the stage where I am seriously thinking of stopping viewing of some of my favourite programmes. Doctors, Corrie are now totally spoiled for me with comments like ”Todd is looking over his shoulder” or on Michael Portillo’s train journey through Switzerland ”Michael is getting onto the train” —YES I can see that, thankyou!!
Is this for the use by the partially sighted or blind viewers?
Does anyone else find this an annoying intrusion

Greed TV- it’s now on all day and night. Buy some tat for twenty pence in a charity shop having noticed that it has “Tiffany” stamped into the base and “Flog It” for two GRAND (i’m sure the presenters like Paul Martin the king of tautology are encouraged to use this awful term as part of the hype) or buy a house at auction for a BARGAIN price, throw a few tins of whitewash over it and sell it three weeks later for a profit of forty two and a half GRAND (even the lady presenters are now trained in the use of this term)
The “antique” shows are bad enough (the BBC admits to having 29 antique type shows on I player) but the whole business of the crafty buying and selling of STUFF and the often shamelessly rigged results is designed to appeal to people’s greed. This rubbish is expanding rapidly across all channels and now includes Steptoe characters out foraging in their vans, which after a few series have morphed from old bangers into the latest models, no doubt placed by Ford and Mercedes. The other dayI found myself watching a programme about two American!! ragmen at work……
I fear we are only a step away from showing real criminals at work as entertainment with the thrill of a pickpocket opening stolen wallets on camera and the presenter saying “you must have nearly a GRAND in there!”
