Dramatic Pauses
« on: November 02, 2007, 05:35:24 AM »
Did this start on ‘Who wants to be a millionaire’ or does it go back further than that?

It seems like you can flick between five or six channels on the telly these days and see… nothing. For a moment you might think the Sky box is all buggered-up or something but no, every bloody single show these days seems to feel the need to have a dramatic pause between announcements.

And we’re not talking about something really dramatic like winning a million – every quiz show has to have a pause now before answering ‘yes, you are right, two and two make four and you’re through to the next round’.

Complete shite – stop it now please!

In her case it is the delay of the words leaving her speech centre (earpiece from Director), through the mush-filled skull to the over-active mouth.

They’re all at it – I switched on food poker last night (or whatever the cod-awful programme is called). This is a show that pits celebrity chefs against each other, er cooking – what a unique and novel show idea.

Now if they’d celebrity chefs competing at mountain climbing or sword swallowing it might be just worth watching… Anyway there it was at the end of the ‘savoury round’ the winner is…. …. …. …. … one of the chefs. What complete arse.

A bit later there was eggheads – this is a show that doesn’t even have an audience so each bated-breath announcement is met with a stony silence yet inanely grinning Dermot still feels the need to add… … … ... a dramatic pause to build up the tension – who with?

Hats-off to Anne Robinson for no such shenanigans – you are the weakest link goodbye!  point:
