Your Most Banal/Boring/Irritating Television Programmes?

What are the most boring/banal/irritating television programmes on UK television, in your opinion? Below are mine.

*Pointless - Everyone seems to love it but it's so boring and tacky.

*Tipping Point - notice a theme here? Another one of the boring quiz shows, lazy channel operators shove down our throats, thinking we'll love it. If I was interested in who won the battle of Hastings, I could look on Google on my computer.

*Countdown - Really dull show and dull panellists, and there is no way that the "experts" work out all of the answers and have the right page on the right book open in that amount of time.

*This Morning - It used to be interesting when they did civilian make overs and at a time before forums like this were created. I really don't watch it any more. The presenters all seem so fake and if someone's aunt's uncle lost his leg climbing Kilimanjaro, that's sad for them but I don't want my morning to be dragged down with it. The false interest/humility from the presenters is nauseating too. Why do they have the fake window of the South Bank still, it's been years since they broadcast from there and the fake gold/oak tacky set hasn't been changed in over 10 years, you'd think with the resources they have they could update it.

*All Star Family Fortunes With Gino D'A'Campo - It may have been an interesting show about 25 years ago, but I really don't care about these so-called celebrities and their families and I don't find Gino D'A'Campo that entertaining.

*The Chase - What does Bradley Walsh have over ITV executives that they keep giving him these shows? I don't find him funny, I find him cliched. Yet again, another quiz that seems to plague the channels pre-dinner.

So much daytime TV is either sob stories, fearmongering, boring quizzes or car boot sale style shows that were obviously filmed years ago.

Reality shows with orange, plastic nobodies and most of the quiz shows especially Pointless. I have tried to like it but I can't. I find Alexander Armstrong really irritating too.

Property and cookery shows, there's so many of them now, I have lost interest totally. Plus Nigella, Jamie and Nadya all talk far too much and I really dislike watching them eat whatever they've cooked. I have no wish to watch your teeth and gums chomping on food. 🙄

Almost all of it tbh. I almost never watch scheduled tv, only streamed series. I don't watch any kind of reality shows, soaps, entertainment shows, gameshows, talk shows, talent shows etc. I think they are all rubbish.
