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.

Methinks some people need to either chill, or stop watching TV programmes they dislike.... or seek help with their issues. wink
I think it's help with the issues then. As I enjoy the shows but hate the dumbing down part.

Quite like the "Four weddings" voice over

Sarcastic bloke taking general swipes at everything that has been said.

(It's the wife that watches it, honest.)
Oh no, the sarcastic comments (as per Come Dine With Me) are great, it is the voiceovers where they appear to think we would struggle to compete with a goldfish in a memory and IQ test...
