Biggest annoyance on TV

[JayP1]

In a real grumpy old man mood today - what on TV get's you riled up? For me, I get pi$$ed when I see "celebrities" on talk show programmes, TV cookery programmes or singing contests who go on there to plug their new book or CD...

For example Matt Dawson on Something for the Weekend few weeks ago to promote his new cookery book...

Whenever I see a celeb on TV, I count the minutes until the inevitable plug comes...

Anyway, let me know your gripes

[Jasandjules]

BBC news talking about how everything is the fault of AGW.

[mickk]

Graham fking Norton.

[AnotherClarkey]

Jeremy fking Clarkson. Dull tt.

[T89 Callan]

People who complain about a programme (lets say Top Gear for instance) then continue to watch it and then complain about it more......

When a news programme pretends it has a 'news' story but it turns out its just a plug for an upcoming programme. BBC use the news to plug panorama and inside out EVERY BLOODY week! VERY Naughty!

Adverts. The mute button gets a fair bit of use these days.

Hmm - perhaps aimed at me, not sure. Either way, that's not really answering the question I posted

[Red&WhiteMonkey]

News programmes that ask people to email/text their opinions. It's the news, I want the facts not public opinion.

Especially 6 bd minutes into a programme.

I don't even know who you are? So not really aimed at you.

And yes it does annoy the fk out of me when Top Gear has been in it's new format for 7 years now and people continue to complain every single fking week.

It's not like it's the 'new' format anymore, if you still don't like the way it is now then don't watch it, it's not exactly a suprise each week is it?

[Monkey Tennis]

'Celebrities', Princess Diana, June Sarpong. In that order.

[Morningside]

Coming up in this weeks episode..
After the break ...

And that irritating semi-heavy metal grunge(?) music that now dominates all technical programming. Used to be US based shows but now appearing over here.

Everything

Depending on mood.

There was that programme recently which was purely about complaining about other st on TV, which just added to the st on TV because the guy presenting it was just dull. Charlie Brooker or something I think his name was, though I could be wrong - I'm sure that was someone in Eastenders.

You What?

Charlie Brooker is a genius and pretty much reflects most PH'ers gipes with modern media. Also a comic genius and evil bd.

I don't understand about Eastenders, he definately wasn't in that?

Get yourselves V+ or Sky+. I no longer watch live TV so no more annoying advert breaks, no evenings where you fancy a bit of telly but there's nothing on, and no missing a chunk of the few programmes you are interested because after the third time I've paused and then rewound the TV the girlfiend usually gets the message that I'm not that I'm more interested in the TV show than in what she's trying to tell me

That would be both Eddie and the vacuous inflated bap carrier? I agree.
