...it neccessary to repeat whats just happened before the commercial break ....right after the break. Programmes like 'Hotel Inspector' 'Rogue Traders' 'Hells Kitchen' or 'Megastructures' 'Ice Road Truckers' There are many more examples obviously. Im sitting here thinking- 'Why do you want to remind me of something I watched not 5 minutes ago ?Fundermentally you insult my intelligence to assume it neccesary to remind me of the finer details of your programme' The only answer to this I can see is to eek out a 30 minute programme to 50 mins thus filling airtime. In the case of the BBC at licence payers expense and for others there is an additional commercial break. It just my thought...whats yours?

And, be fair, some of the programmes you mentioned are only watched by mental defectives.

I seen the programme about the steamboat being dismantled but assumed it was being scrapped because I'd not seen the start. It was only at the end I realized it was going to be re-built.

Agree with you 100% janzman,
Its the same with ''Come Dine with Me'' on for 30 minutes, but repeat whats just happened before the commercial break comes down to about 20 minutes.
