Annoying things

[Katie2007Katie]

the one thing that annoys me is how they put previews in between the break of the program you are about to watch! :(

anyone else have any pet hates on the tv?

[honey111]

yes when someone is speaking and they play music in the background you can not here a word they are saying.so anoying.

I like the Previews, at the end of the advert breaks.

When I'm watching something on tape, I always press Fast Forward (on my VCR remote control) when the adverts start -then when the Preview for another program arrives I know that the adverts are done and my program is going to start again:D

[Footie_Chick]

Yeah i use to do that, but with ITV now they have started putting adverts of programmes in the middle of the adverts from the show, so you think the programme is nearly starting again but infact, it's not and they show more.

[kevinfromuk]

Crafty ITV -eh:(

[Footie_Chick]

very crafty, i hope they don't do it for too long as it is begining to get on my nerves

[kevinfromuk]

The ITV do like to swap things round on us, don't they!

I expect they're just trying to keep us on our toes -or should that be our bums!:D

yes i completely agree with this.....it happened while i was watching something last night ggrrrrrrrr :mad:

Saturday night TV annoys me! It really is a load of old crap! :mad:

[kevinfromuk]

Saturday nights are only saved (for me) by Casualty and the football on Match Of The Day -otherwise a DVD film would be needed to fill the void;)

[lorrieangela]

oh yes this is so stupid and also when they put adverts in a program after the first 8 mins and before the last 8 mins of program it is so annoying

[Footie_Chick]

Lol, loads of shows do that especially The Bill, Desperate Housewifes, Skins and theres probably more.

[Katie2007Katie]

yeah i love desperate housewives etc on channel 4 but the breaks are so long, i have recorded the progs before and its bin 45 mins instead of 1 hour! :p

[Footie_Chick]

Yeah alot of shows are like that, i know the oc is. As the boxsets state that each epsiode is only 42 mins long when it's ment to be 60 mins.

[Katie2007Katie]

although long breaks are good sometimes (although not that often!) :D e.g.with bbc there is no time to go for food, etc:D :p

[kevinfromuk]

Of course the Adverts are there to raise money to run the commercial TV stations; pay for programming, (sponsors) the news readers.. etc, so we'll never see an end to them.

The BBC, I can see, are likely to adopt some form of advertising, when the licence fee (a few years away) is scrapped -everybody has a moan about paying for the licence, but it does cover everything that the BBC do.

[Minnie Caldwell]

The licence fee costs TOO much. If it didnt keep goin up pe3ople wouldnt be so antsy it. And i still think theres TOO many staff at the Beeb and they pay Wossy and Wogan WAY too much.

Sorry 2moan:mad:

[Katie2007Katie]

yeah, if the bbc didnt get the tv liscence though they wouldnt be able to make great telly e.g. holby city, casualty, etc etc, or not as good as now :p :D
