I don't mind the programms about WW1 (yes, I watch some of them), what I do mind is the News being overwhelmed with references to either ceremonies, forthcoming ceromonies, excessive mention of forthcoming programmes or complete and utter twaddle from "reporters" and "our such-and-such a reporter/editor/correspondent".

Whilst on the subject of the News, it's annoying that before the news starts, there's a long précis of what's coming, ten minutes of "our top story", after another 5 minutes of "other news" there's a re-cap of the first 15 minutes and "still to come", another précis of what's yet to come and when the News ends, there's yet another re-cap!

Today it was all about some actor or other who'd died. He was someone I avoided watching and I just don't see why a re-cap of some of the parts he played should occupy the major part of the News. The news was, he'd died, sad though it was, finit.

The BBC is obsessed with acting and actors and even the newsreaders have to get in on the act. Why the heck do they have to get up from the desk and pose "just-so"? They're reading the news (often badly too) that's all.
