My personal pet hate is when the likes of Paxman expect a one-word answer to everything they ask.
Although I can't say I've ever noticed Tim Willcox as being a particular culprit for this - some TV interviews are cringeworthy these days. I'm not sure when it became cool to just imitate Paxman but a lot of people are going about it the wrong way. You don't have to talk over someone or bark statements at them to be considered a good interviewer. It's very important to adjust your style for the person you're speaking to.
