I'm frequently incensed by the constant trailing and replaying either side of adverts!
It's merely a device to make 10 minutes of television fit into a 30 minute slot.

"Previously in part 1......blah, blah!!"
"Coming up after the break...blah, blah,!!"
There's less actually happening between the ads that you hadn't already seen than in the length of the ad breaks!!!!!

Reminds me of the mantra about getting your message across....

" First, tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them it. Then tell them what it was you just told them!"

Do they really think we're THAT stupid????

GRRRrrr absolutely boils my p***
