16.2.20 Trouble With Trailers

Enough is enough, I'd like to say, but ITV takes the opposite view, and so relentlessly drowns us in shit trailers for its shows.  It does so for many weeks ahead of any programme actually being aired, such that any minuscule notion that one of the programmes might be watchable is removed and a layer of frustration and resentments enshrouds me.

This evening, I have been tainted severely through the constant diet of trailers for the following:

Saturday Night Takeaway
Harry Redknapp's Sandbanks Summer
Belgravia
The Trouble with Maggie Cole

The multiple exposure I have suffered in just a single evening has altered my DNA such that I am not possessed by a demon with an urge to smash the TV.  Is there anyone left in the UK who does not know who Ant & Dec are?  Or people who have not heard of Saturday Night Takeaway?  So why the two dozen trailers per day?  Then we have Harry Redknapp shouting at someone on the beach, again and again and again.  Belgravia is not even on until March (no date specified) so we have a minimum of two more weeks being abused.  The same applies in respect of the Dawn French shit that's lumbering its way towards us..... some time in fucking March!  I also want to know why ITV has decided that the "W" in the programme's title is lower case.

Aside from trailers for individual programmes, there's the compilation trailer that is set against a pretentious "poem" that gets under the skin and burns like acid

ITV New Drama for 2020 Drama

This is just so that ITV can spout self-complimentary twaddle.  All of the above is relevant in my own avoidance of Mr Selfridge, a programme that I simply could not actually watch because of the
previous weeks' torture by trailers.
