AIBU to feel intensely annoyed when a 'presenter' repeats back what they have just been told... but in a loud and incredulous tone?
Presenter: How many Jammy Dodgers will be made on this production line today?
Line technician: One hundred thousand.
Cue googly-eyed amazement, raised eyebrows and,
'ONE. HUNDRED. THOUSAND??? That's A LOTTA BISKITS!!!!
A 'technique' beloved of all those 'How is it made?' style programmes. And I believe it derives from the 'Greg Wallace School of Actin' Amazed'.
Sadly, I see Simon Reeve was at it tonight - in which case, it's going to be a bloody long journey through the Americas...
