Incredibly boring programs - Starting with Ben Fogle

[EllyRoff]

BF lives in the Wild must be the most boring program ever made. Every episode is the same:

“We left the rat race to live in a cow shed in the middle of nowhere. We live on rain water and mouldy vegetables but we’re so happy”

Next minute the socially isolated kids are shown studying butterflies or some shit.

I just can’t stomach it, normally I can sit and watch anything but this just irritates me beyond belief, I have to leave the room whilst DH watches it. The only other thing that comes close is Jools Holland.

Anyone else have such a strong dislike of a particular program?

I love Ben fogle one of my fav shows!! I hate love island and east Enders

Anything on Talking Pictures. The weirdest channel ever!

I actually like the programme. And no they are not all the same.Families ,single people,young couples,some in their 70s .Some living sustainably.Some rescuing animals.And interesting to see so many varied countries. Good job we don't all like the same thing.

I'm not sure, but @EllyRoff your op made me laugh out loud 😂 😂 😂!!!

DH is currently watching football. One of the most boring sports ever.

I leave the room instantly if Mrs browns boys is on, I just hate it. No one actually watches it in this house so it’s not something I’ve had to do often 😂
Motor racing - dh will occasionally watch it if it’s on, he’s not a big follower - the endless drone of engines makes me want to slice my own ears off.
Op I haven’t seen this programme you’re talking about but it sounds like drab worthy bollocks to me and I don’t think I’d be sitting through it either!

I adore Ben Fogle and love watching how different people choose to live their lives.
I can’t abide shows like Casulty that are so obviously wrong, things that would never be allowed to happen etc. They wind me up.

Football is not more boring than golf or cricket. Or snooker. All of which seem to go on endlessly

For me it’s any show that is basically just people talking about sport. I understand liking football for example, but not match of the day. Just boring people talking about either what they think may happen or something that happened that you’ve already watched.

Anything of this genre:

"White middle aged men making tedious programmes"

I love Ben Fogle's programmes. Educational and interesting.
I hate all and any soaps,and trashy Saturday night shows like Love Island. Anything with plastic bimbos/ bimbettes in skimpy clothes and puffed up lips...I genuinely don't know how anyone can watch that shite.

Definitely that one where Helen Skelton fishes crap out of a lake. No idea what it's called and can't be arsed to Google it.

No slander against Ben shall be tolerated! 🥷 😁

Oh god yes I hate that one too!

😂 to be fair I do like Ben Fogle, just not this boring repetitive program

I love it! And I love Ben.

The One Show..I absolutely detest that twee little programme..it's so boring & the Welsh presenter is so annoying...

Man I hate the smugfest that is Grand Designs

Jools. Holland only seems to appear on TV at New Year.
I find him very cardboard-y

Ditto

I can't bear BF or Jools Holland

Yes! I also hate the one show

that stupid segment they do where they do and “surprise” a person who has been nominated for their good deeds. Those people are not bloody surprised at all, it’s obvious they knew what was coming.

The intro music is irritating too

Actually, I don't know which is worse:
a) white middle aged men travelling around making tedious programmes, or
b) white middle aged men who don't even travel; they stay at home and just do the voice-over.

Hate all chat shows. I do not want to hear your anecdote.

Anything with Gregggg Wallace in, jools Holland irritates me beyond belief.
