Just reminded of another
The BBC TV news. Very specific again, but why in the name of all that's graphically challenged do they insist on pissing around with the bullet points to support their reports? E.g. a story about education: we are treated to a backdrop of a classroom scene with a blackboard (as if!) and all the bullets come up written like chalk across the blackboard, while the presenter smugly 'watches' the words appear - though we know s/he can't see them behind them.

We're not children! All you are doing is losing the whole point of the item (to me anyway) as I can't see past the steam coming out of my ears.

Oh yeah, and while we're at it, why interupt programmes you're listening to on, say, Radio 4, to say "This is Radio 4, and you're listening to Front Row" - I know!!

Oh yeah, and also, those bloody shows on the telly like 'Masterchef' - the whole show is taken up with "Coming up on Masterchef...." or "Earlier on Masterchef we saw...." and "Tomorrow the teams have to..." You don't have ads, I can watch a programme for 30 minutes, I don't have the memory of a goldfish (I know, I know) - just show the programme from the beginning, go through to the end, oh, and if you can't manage to hold the flipping camera steady GET ANOTHER JOB.

Phew.
