Not the programmes, but epsidoes about the making of them. As two of my favourite topics I am trying really hard to like watching them, but I cant help getting annoyed by the David Mitchell bits...

..Considering they did a whole sketch on the MItchell and Webb about a TV programme consisting entierly of telling us whats comming up and what we've seen, before actually seeing it, this has to be one of the worst examples.

Not just before every ad break, but every few min utes we get a "comming up..." piece to join bits of the programme together. Its very annoying, and just the sort of thing they are paradoying.

Sadly TV people ensure it's scripted in.

It's a hugely annoying trait of US network TV which is slowly beginning to pollute our programming more prolifically. I blame Bravo and Dave.

They also seem to get repeated every few months and then repeated 3-4 times over 2-3 days during the repeat.
