Just how thick do they think we are?!?!?
Discussion
I keep watching shows where they seem to think a goldfish is rather better qualified to follow the show than the viewer. I saw a show about B&Bs (four in a bed) where the process was something like - the room was £70, Mick and Sarah (these names have been invented to protect the innocent) have paid £65. That leaves a shortfall of £5. Really? You had to tell us this masterful piece of mathematics? We could not work it out ourselves?
Or like Dragon's Den - Peter says "I'm Out". The voiceover man then says " Peter Jones has just declared he is out". Really? Yes I figured that out all by myself.....
This is p***ng me off more and more of late.

It's the jumping between story lines just so they can waste type reminding you of something you saw 5 minutes ago that gets on my wick. The worse offender for this is "Nothing to Declare", which follows the Australian airport customs ongoing battle against disgusting food brought in by Chinese visitors.
This is your typical Discovery channel show though:

Especially when it's on at 11pm or similar. I'm old enough to handle what you might be showing me on the screen, I don't need warnings thanks. Nor do I need anything dubbing or pixelating either - yes, I'm looking at you, music channels.fk

I call this 'The Sarah Beeny Effect', because I first noticed it on Property Ladder. Couple tell us what they paid for a house, what they intend to spend on it, what they hope to sell it for, and so how much profit they want to make. Then Sarah helpfully shows us an on-screen animation that gives us exactly the same information we've just had, but with her saying it in case we didn't understand the normos who aren't properly trained to speak on TV. And it's just spiralled out of control since then.

I bloody love that show. "Did you see it says food? You eat this so it must be declared on the card"
"It's only dubious animal product, why you not be nice?"
I even try to guess the fines after seeing how much they bring in versus how much of a tt they act.
It's not for thick viewers per se, it's for viewers who aren't really paying attention.
The change of voice tone from Peter saying "ah'm oot" to the announcers voice alerts people who heard Peter start talking and decided to do something else instead - check twitter, play angry birds, even (god forbid) talk to friends who are in the room - thereby "resetting" the viewer's attention.
It's a godsend in technical talks, though probably a bit unnecessary for dragon's den.

No, the best episode was where they were issuing $100 fines to all the visitors who had an apple in their bag. The people had an apple because Qantas had given it to them as part of their in-flight meal, and lots of people thought "don't fancy that now" and popped it in their bag for later...Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
