Things I Would Ban on TV

• Title formats like Person Name: My Something and Me.  
• News presenters starting the show sitting down, then standing up, then sitting down again.  Let people sit!
• On the subject of news, sending some poor journalist to stand in the rain outside an anonymous building that is somehow related to the story they're covering. It could be anywhere! 
• The news using overly literal metaphors.  "Some may be on the fence - " ... cuts to picture of a fence. No. 
• Police dramas where suspects or witnesses are ridiculously hostile and rude to the police. See also: "We're done here." Er, no, the police decide when the interview is over, not you, mate.
• Love scenes where they zoom in on interlocking hands. This has been done many, many times. Enough. 
• Bad fake drinking. I don't even mean acting drunk, I mean literally drinking any drink. Next time you watch TV, watch when somebody drinks, and see if their mouth will be open when the cup comes away. If they were actually drinking, they'd be dribbling all down their chin. Double whammy if they don't visibly swallow. 
• Police dramas where someone says to the lead detective, "You're going to want to see this." 
• Police dramas where the police are shouting distance away from the suspect they want to arrest, and they decide to shout "Police!", thereby alerting said suspect to their imminent arrest and giving them an ideal opportunity to leg it. 
• Anything with the word 'Benefits' in the title.
• Presenters who think it's OK to punch a producer.
• Endless female murder victims. 
• That car insurance comparison ad with James Corden.  I'm not even a Corden-hater, but I don't think that advert is anyone's best work. As someone who has recently purchased car insurance (what a fabulous life I lead), it actively put me off using that site. 
• 'Paradise' by Coldplay.  Really?
