A lot More Television Annoyances

I can't believe I can find even more things that annoy me about television.

Why do so many presenters have to speak as if they're talking to a classroom-full of Primary School children? The worst offender being Kate Humble. She speaks with such a cloyingly-nauseating voice I just want to throw up. It's so twee that it puts me off some programmes such as Springwatch and the other similar wildlife shows. It's as if we, the viewer, were totally unintelligent and have to be spoken down to in this fashion because we probably don't understand things if talked about in a more grown-up fashion. Please, television producers, treat your audience as if they're at least grown up. Or I just won't bother watching and go elsewhere for stuff to watch. Shows aimed at children, such as 'Blue Peter,' never talked down to the children they were aimed at. Even 'Play School' managed to avoid that and it was aimed at pre-school children.

So many gameshows have questions that are just plain easy. 'Tipping Point' is one such gameshow which has ridiculously easy questions. There's no sort of anything if it's easy. If you can answer every question then what's the point of the whole thing? Shows such as 'University Challenge' have particularly difficult questions, as you would expect, although we're able to answer quite a few of them. I know they have to aim their gameshows at a wide range of abilities and no doubt if they had questions that are too difficult it would put a huge section of the public off watching, but if it's just plain simplistic then it's crazy.
