Things you hate about TV
Discussion
There are several things which really, really irritate me (but I'm sure to think of more):
Why, oh why, cannot TV channels synchronise the volume level between adverts/station idents and the programme or movie being presented? The other evening, my volume control was almost overheating as I was obliged to change it every few minutes from my normal level of around the high 20s to almost twice that!
And another thing; when a movie ends and they condescend to show the credits (sadly, these don't always get shown), why do they condense the credits into a box less than half the screen size while they announce a forthcoming attraction? It makes it even more irritating when the credits revert to full size and you have missed the cast list to be shown the REALLY important crew members such as Second Assistant Account! Why can't they wait until almost the end of the credits to make announcements?
And don't get me started on the BBC's profligate wastefulness spending our license money! I see Match of the Day has yet ANOTHER new studio set-up. I watch this to see the actual match action and to hear the pundits' views - the studio fixtures and fittings are a distraction I can do without.
