Constant questions when watching TV

Whenever I sit and watch TV with my husband, which is most evenings, no matter what programme is on he will bombard me with questions;

Who is that actor?/actress What's the name of that film? Who sang that song? What film was he/she in? Hasn't that person died in real life? What year was that film made? Etc....

He also has the worst memory and is generally crap with names/faces/dates

AIBU to find this maddening? I just lost my temper with him because he asked me a really stupid question about Gary Barlow. He finds it funny and says he is just trying to make conversation! Is he? Am I a miserable shit? To me it's not exactly conversation when I'm the one responsible for filling in all of the fucking blanks.....

I do the pause thing a lot. If it's something with adverts I tell him to save his questions. I then let him ask everything then - strangely enough he can never think of anything when he has free reign. I am sure he finds it amusing to torment me.
He also seems to find it really difficult to grasp simple plot lines.
Strangely enough it never happens on something he likes.
