You know the sort where you wonder who, just WHO are they employing to come up with these things, and you seethe because you could do SO much better AND you would be able to call yourself "a writer" at parties and people would be all impressed and that.
My nominees are.
Little Red Tractor video.
The TV breaks down. So two ADULTS decide that what they'll do instead is put on a show.
Yeah. Because when our TV breaks down, DH and I reject all of the following potential courses of action:
- Getting out the one from the other room
- Calling a repair man
- Going to Tescos to get another one
- Reading a book
- Having a conversation
- Having sex*
In favour of singing and dancing for each other, perhaps even juggling.
Please, has anyone ever in the history of history put on a show because their telly won't work?
- Disclaimer. The children might have been wanting to watch telly in this episode so maybe sex is not a suitable option in this case
Nominee Two
Thomas the Tank Engine Book - Jeremy (the Jet Engine)
"The Children" - that amorphous mass who must never be disappointed on the Island of Sodor - are having a picnic. Oh NO - it starts to rain!! The picnic will be RUINED! 
Does anyone say "Oh it's nowt but a bit of rain, it won't kill you." ? Of course not. It's a disaster.
Thomas steams to the rescue. Good old Thomas! What does he do? Takes them to Jeremy's hangar and they have their picnic in there.
So on what planet is having a picnic in an aircraft hangar a) safe or b) pleasurable? Why can't they eat their sandwiches in the train?
I take my DCs on days out and pay good money for them to eat their lunch in the carriage of a steam train.
Further nominations welcome.
