Following on from something that came up on another thread, what are the things, people, actors, genres that automatically make you turn the tv off or change channels without a second’s thought?
To get the ball rolling…
Just about anything sport related.
Singing competitions (eg the Voice)
Anything with David Tennant in it
Soaps like emmerdale , eastenders,coronation street .
I don’t have a tv license, I only watch prime amazon , I don’t really know the reason why, I don’t get into some films, then just turn them off.
The film has to really grip me, if you get my meaning.
I don’t watch very much television so there is nothing for me to turn over for.
Likewise , I’d rather just watch an old horror film on DVD.
Defo no soap operas though!
Football, cricket and if Alex Beresford comes on .
Adverts , eastenders , violence , loud shouting people , Jeremy Kyle, he’s loud and shouty, politics.

I reyt enjoyed the prog, I’d tune in again, the interviewee looks a bit grumpy tho innit…same time next week? haha
We don’t watch much but there’s a big dash for the remote when Friends appears.
Anything that includes Liz Truss.
I can’t bear any of the Soaps and cooking programmes.
These days, l don’t turn over… l switch off, growling!
Just occurred to me,…anything with Janet Street Porter or Eddy Izzard in it.
Yeah but sometimes they get a bit over enthusiastic in that 15 seconds of fame, showing off their new teeth, their new nose hair trim etc. … enough to make you turn over tho innit.
Sport.
Programmes like Big Brother.
Soaps.
Politics.
Cookery.
Quizzes.
Shopping Channels.
