When a goal is scored anything other than a brisk handshake

Almost every time I switch on the TV, post-watershed, I see a dead female, usually murdered in some gruesome fashion and usually stretched out on a mortuary slab.



I'd like to see a lot less of that.

I hate settling down to watch travel documentaires on channels like The Travel Channel only to disover that many of the shows are presented by iritaint people who are a more than a little up their own backside. I saw one fairly intersing progamme about Portugese cusine but I had to switch off as the beacause the presenter got on my nerves in a big way.

Reality shows!!!



Isn't that fad over yet?

Squashed up credits at the end of programmes and those small trailers for the next programme coming on screen during the programme you're watching.

Bloody annoying when you're trying to recall who that actor/actress is and have to go running to IMDB. Just as bad are those terrible voiceovers over the end music by some dipstick who thinks they're funny. BBC3 and E4 are the worst. Fred Barron must write their scripts.

Even more annoying when you're trying to read the credits to add them to the IMDb

A terrible habit and it can be a real mood killer when they do it at the end of a dramatic program

More variety on ITV3, not just the same programmes repeated ad nauseum

[frame69]

With a few exceptions if think tv is a huge insult to our intelligence,its mainly catering for 'chav' type groups.Just scanned through in excess of 500 channels and could'nt decide what to watch so the radio was switched on.Have you noticed how much louder the ads are in comparison to the programme they run with? B****y annoyed now.I promised myself I'd be in a good mood today!

I think I'll go play trains.
