A subjective view, which does not mirror my experience. Even on
BBC it is possible to save quite a lot of time by avoiding
trailers, and hitting the "skip" button for "coming up..." and
"previously..."

Is it just me that is irritated by the seemingly mandatory
documentary technique of having several parallel threads running,
in an attempt to keep our attention, then having to remind us
what we have just seen, or reveal what they are about to show us,
but not just yet...

It is a irritating waste of time but at least the BBC doesn't put
their "adverts" in the middle of programs like the commercials
channels do.


There shouldnl't be any adverts including those for BBC products on BBC.

This topic has got really boring
