I'm a celebrity ruined by 'Coming Up' clips

Why do they do this?
'I'm a Celebrity get me out of here' has been on for years and everyone must know by now what it is about. Are they using this spoiling tactic to keep me from changing channels?

'Coming Up' - It's a phrase that most television presenters have to use at the start of their program or just before the commercial break. Just hearing those words now sets my nerves on edge.

| 03-3-2010 | We have a situation where customers are bullied by the law into accepting whatever they are given in return for they"r hard earned tv liscence money .The public will have to stand up and be counted on this one if any justice is to be gained.It"s time to divert the liscence fee from uphold...more | Bill |
| 08-2-2010 | Not only that, but with a two part serial like Silent Witness, they will tell you what is in tomorrow's episode and the end of the first episode, and tell what happened in yesterday's episode at the start of the second! | gav |
| 05-12-2009 | It's another 'Americanization' of TV. As other posters have noted:
Shrinking of credits
Popups at the end of programs with 'what's coming next'. | Biker Hater |
| 01-12-2009 | Was thinking the same DooRon especially with I'm a celebrity - let us just watch it ITV !!!!! | caz |
| 25-11-2009 | I didn't realise that my Gripe had been posted, thanks for the comments.
I think Mr Rupert is probably right, about Channel hopping, although I would be surprised if a programme that gets around 5 million viewers has more channel hoppers in that figure than loyal viewers. But, I have never w...more | DooRon |
| 24-11-2009 | Mr Rupert, n-ooooooooooooooo! Let's not ditch everything. Let's embrace a new world, where sport has it's own range of dedicated channels and football fans can debate the offside rule whilst leaving the rest of us to enjoy life. Bring back the Duchess of Duke Street, Secret Army, Marin...more | Cauliflower |
| 23-11-2009 | It's called 'dumbing down' because most viewers are perceived to have limited attention span and this is supposed to keep their dull brains eager to stay with the channel. Channel hopping is every TV company's worst fear, so they aim to tell you 'exciting' bits that are com...more | Mr Rupert |
| 22-11-2009 | Why do they suddenly "shrink" the credits when I'm trying to read who was in a film or soap etc. to advertise what's on next?!! There's no way anyone can read it even if you record and pause it. The screen shrinks to half the width and then on the right hand side of the scree...more | Fuming Suzie |
| 20-11-2009 | Hi Cauliflower (thanks for the compliment by the way); I must have a strong stomach. I usually watch something I've recorded while eating my brekkie, Law & Order SVU, CSI (the original only!) or The Closer! Never puts me off my food.
I record everything, that way I can avoid all the adv...more | grumpyoldwoman |
| 19-11-2009 | Why do they run the 'PedEgg' ads at breakfast? The last thing I want in my mind when surveying my bacon sandwich are detailed descriptions of foot skin being trimmed. Likewise the 'Dulco-ease' ads - why do these appear when I'm midway through my porridge??? | Cauliflower |
| 19-11-2009 | Couldn't agree more with this (hello Gainsborough lad and Kit, I couldn't leave it). What really rags me is channel 5's 'celebrity' news. This is after you've gone through the adverts and the 'coming up' stuff.
I know that I'm out of touch because I almost neve...more | Bukowski |
| 19-11-2009 | Worse than whats coming up is the boy who tells us he needs A POO at tea time ,i can;t switch that advert off quick enough I never get to find out just what it is they are advertising. that poor child wll go through hell when he is older and his mates rib him ,whatever are the parents thinking ...more | G |
