I heard that Adele had been given a lifetime ban on appearing on breakfast TV ever again - after she set fire to Lorraine.

Anything to do with the royal family.

There's a new show I keep seeing advertised think it's called 'out of order '? All the contestants wear pronoun badges...no thanks.

Holly Willoughby
Rylan
Alison Hammond

Bradley fucking Walsh doing everything, everywhere as if he's the UK's only presenter. Also yy to Lorraine Kelly. Tax dodging cow.

JamSandle · 09/04/2024 05:36

Ads.

Sex scenes.

marshmallowfinder · 09/04/2024 05:47

People who should know much better saying "anythink", "somethink", or pronouncing three as "free". I can't bear it.

KettleOn919 · 09/04/2024 05:48

Dramas where people talk about something confidential in loud, hissy whispers instead of talking normally but quietly.

Mothership4two · 09/04/2024 05:54

Adverts too - watching a series on ITVX but the several long advert breaks are driving us up the wall and we might give up.

Soaps
Boring game shows
Violence
True crime (feel sorry for the victims family that a horrible end is used for entertainment and it is usually all about the murderer)

BBC doing “amusing” trailers for ‘slebs go to x’ in exaggerated x accent
Would I lie to you
House of (puerile) games
Ant n dick
Wildlife programmes with gory killings

Sunnnybunny72 · 09/04/2024 06:13

American sitcoms

Phoebefail · 09/04/2024 06:28

Optimism that I am going to find a crime series that isn't shouty and swearing. Unreasonable hope that there will be terrestrial channel (that I can record) a Midsomer or Agatha Christie that I don't know off by heart.

Willmafrockfit · 09/04/2024 06:33

adverts,
and then you turn over and every single bloody channel is also showing adverts.

landscapepainter · 09/04/2024 06:35

Antiques Roadshow (or anything similar). Can't stand it!

GoodVibesHere · 09/04/2024 06:38

Grand Prix
Football

I can't stand the sound of either.

And those football analysis programmes where three men sit and disect the entire match. Sooo boring.

EspressoMacchiato · 09/04/2024 06:40

I honestly thought you mean physically turning the tv, tipping it over.

Strange expression I’ve never heard before. We say “change the channel”.

Jeremy Clarkson saying "corter" of a million pounds on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Irritating adverts.. On the beach springs to mind.
Graphic violence
Graphic sex
Foul language ( It has its place but is usually gratuitous)
Game shows
Soaps
Ant and Dec..I know they are todays version of Morecambe and Wise, 2 Ronnies type, but they are irritating!

foreverbasil · 09/04/2024 07:50

Any drama where they explain the back story in the most stilted dialogue you can imagine.
Anything with Michael McIntyre

The Eastenders theme music. Tum-te-tum-te-tum-tum click…

Isn't that The Archers signature tune?

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 09/04/2024 07:55

People vomiting. Why do they show it? Surely no one wants to see that?
