Default Worst TV program?

So what do you think is the worst TV show - what is even more pointless or turgid than NSR?

Stick to terrestrial channels - BBC1, 2, ITV, C4, Five - as on the satellite/digital channels there are too many to choose from!

I reckon Heir Hunters - what pointless, over dramatised, Daily Mail-esque daytime tosh!

Talking of over-dramatised, even Ice Road Truckers seems to be going that way now. It'll say "Suddenly Hugh realises he's going too fast, if his brakes lock up now he could jack-knife and spin out and die......oh it's OK, he's managed to slow down.". Must happen about 5 times an episode.

It's not as if Hugh starts screaming or crying, he's laughing the whole time.

Jeremy Vile

Anything with Katie Price/Jordan/Peter Andrex

Any celebrity challenge type show

It seems most C4 shows follow the same format now. Open with what's coming up for 2-3 mins, 3-4 mins of content then tell us what's coming up after the ads for a minute or so. After the ads, recap on what's happened and tease us with what's coming for 2 mins, then 3-4 mins of content before recap'ing and telling us a bit more of what's after the next bloody ad break, same in the next part, and similar to the end where we get a teaser for the following weeks 11 minutes of fresh content in a one hour show.

Either that or the shows are not billed as repeats because they have 2 minutes of new footage bolted on to a previously aired show, like the formerly excellent Grand Designs. Each new series of that now has 2 new builds, 3 repeats and 5 revisiteds it seems. And I'm sick to the back teeth of eco-cubes. Every foofing house they feature is a linear, angular block of glass and steel with some environmentally friendly lime render splurged on it. Kevin, rescue your show or lose your job !

Jezza K is awesome!

Shouting at folk barely capable of stringing a coherent sentence together. The audience made up of students with nothing better to do then laugh at those less fortunate than them.

The audience should be given rotten tomatoes and throw them either at the sink estate bike with a dozen kids or the drug addled oik for completely failing to look after his spawn properly.

XFactor and all those Z list celeb programs.

Any of the reality shows are pretty awful as far as I am concerned.
