I don't mind it occasionally
but incessantly? My mum will cheerfully watch it from getting in until going to bed, and frequently does. She also tends to talk over the tv in a kind of 'ooo, look what he's doing, that's naughty' kind of way as well, so I just get more and more restless with her chuntering and the blatant factual inaccuracies until I have to do what I'm doing now, and hide from them all.

Oh god I hate it when my mum does that.
"Ooh, why is he doing that?" I don't know! It's not been revealed yet! God!
