Which things on telly annoy you? I hate dawn french and her puddle. I can’t bear dell boy falling through the opening in the pub and if I see four candles (fork handles) once more I will scream. I laughed the first six times but seeing them over and over has taken all the good out of them! Bx

I don't watch TV at all. Stopped watching 18 months ago for medical reasons. I haven't missed it. 🙂🌸

I agree, as I said in an earlier email to you, Marnie, you are not missing much on TV, especially "comedy"!👍👍

The tv ad for the protection of abused animals. I have to turn the channel, it upsets me so much. It also makes me feel guilty as ——, cause I can’t afford to give a donation or adopt a pet.❤️🏄‍♀️

I understand. Things tear at your heartstrings. But don’t feel guilty. Just resolve to help when your finances take a turn for the better. About twenty years ago I made a new year resolution not to give money to charity. I was giving to everything and leaving myself short. I kept the resolution for a year and then started again but I’ve been much more sensible with donations since that time. Con amore Bx

I’m with you on that. I do have to tell myself, in order to feel better, that when/if my situation improves, I’ll not just donate, but open my own shelter for abused animals. I’ve seen people that are inundated with requests for donations once they have given to a charity. When you have a caring heart, it’s hard to say no. I like that old saying “Charity starts at home”. Thank you for your insight.❤️🏄‍♀️

The news.....sad and depressing...and the background music just puts you on high alert. They need to switch to elevator music

Yes! Think I laughed at those for maybe the 1st, 5 years. After 25 not so Funny. Err..Mrs Brown's Boys, I don't get it. Anything Saturday night, which seems to have excess Clapping, Wooing, and Flashing Lights. Reality Shows (overdone).

Anything with "Celebrities" in.

If anyone ever says to me one more time "I shall say this only once", I shall scream and scream until I'm sick. Luckily knowledge of it seems to be fading now... whew!

For me it has to be clips of the the 66 World Cup, it’s just embarrassing they keep dragging it up at every opportunity (although it doesn’t help I don’t like football).

Catch up with Young Ones or Bottom. They crack me up every time.

Sadly, for me, I get annoyed when seeing all of the charitable requests for money for third world countries, when you consider how many millions we have donated since “Biafra” in the 1960s..... I turn of the sound, there is enough to donate to in the Uk.😕

I don't like watching Dawn French in anything or Jennifer Saunders and/or Ade Edmundson for that matter, also Lennie Henry, they are all so up themselves.

A fresh look at so called comedy is definitely needed, anyone can be a "comic" invited on tired celebrity 'shows' or 'quiz's'! How does one put "comic" on their CV, there should be stricter controls on them, OLD and NEW comedians are completely different, I feel sorry for the older well established comedians having to lower their standards to accommodate with their younger counter parts with their sarcastic based humour, after all "Sarcasm is the lowest form of humour!" we have been living in that vein for years!👍👍
