TV shows that assume absolutely everyone has internet access . . . for example, whenever the presenter
of a show, announces a competition, and the only way to enter is via the internet, saying something like:

BBCi on NTL, the same walled garden sh*te which takes ages to load and is nothing compared to BBCi on Sky and Freeview.
I agree, you can only get BBCi automatically on BBC1 and 2, and not on any of the other BBC channels, and compared to Freeview it is awful . I think I'll just put all of NTL's 'interactive' stuff into Room 101 as none of it is of much good.

I'll further that and add Telewest's Interactive services (latest release) that have made allo of the shortcut buttons on the remote (i.e. TV ON Demand, TV Guide, E-mail, etc) obsolete as they all take you the same place now anyway and you have to navigate to find what you want. Oh and Frontrow (when your watching a film and then it goes off and when you try to go back to channel 0 you get a message saying 'Channel Unavailable, try again later'.... ARGH NOT NOW, NOT AT THE BEST BIT OF THE FILM (which is when it always happens).
I really can't stand people who haven't read '1984'
Yes I know that, but as this a
TV
Forum rather than a literature forum, using the "Room 101" TV show as a
basis for this particular thread is more appropriate. How many people here will have read "1984" anyway?
It was a GCSE standard text in my day, so probably a quite a few.
I'm guessing we're about the same age - I read it too!
