Also bugs me how in Holby City for example, a visitor can be allowed to remain beside the patient's bed while the medical staff are trying to recuss the patient.

Bugs me how they (Silent Witness for example) get blood test results etc. back from the lab almost immediately !!

Yes VQ that whole ‘let’s split up and investigate’ scenario is crazy ?however, being a film, if the group stay together then nothing would happen!
I too shout ‘close the blinds/curtains’ at the tv from time to time also ‘look behind you!’

Sometimes the action is in an office in a high rise block of flats and the whole wall is windows and they don't have the sense to put blinds down.

Then especially when a couple having an affair station themselves at a window in a lit up bedroom.

They do all seem a bit lacking in common sense! I always seem to be yelling “seriously??” at the tv these days!

Or when a group are being picked off one at a time so they decided to separate. No!!!! Stay together and watch each other's backs!

Wholeheartedly agree, and it's not just on TV. My daughter lives on her own during the week and has no blinds at her kitchen window which is overlooked.Particularly scary after that drama a couple of years ago about a man who preyed (sp?) on Young single women.

Yes I remember on Broadchurch, someone was sitting in a very exposed conservatory with creepy marshes around, and a killer at large. I felt quite concerned just watching it.

And in so many police dramas, the police go into a building at night and grope around with their torches, while I am sitting there yelling: "Put the blasted light on why don't you?!"

Sorry me.

And when alone in a creepy old house in the back of beyond at midnight they hear a noise and get up in their nightie and wander the corridors never once checking behind themselves, when I for one, would put a chair under the door handles and the pillow over my head.

I am so glad it is not just me, DD came in one evening and asked my why I was shouting at the TV,,,, again!!!!!!

NanaandGrampy Wed 24-Jan-18 13:23:12

Or when they hear a noise outside and then........ they OPEN the darn door !!! Lock it and call the police for God’s sake lol

Oldwoman70 Wed 24-Jan-18 13:03:02

Why, when someone hears a noise do they call out asking if anyone is there? Do they think the killer/burglar is going to call back saying yes they are in the kitchen making a sandwich and would you like one!

We said exactly the same thing while we were watching it, felice.

Another bugbear is when somebody returns home at night, lets themselves in through the front door (we know there's a baddie on the loose) and doesn't put on any lights. They stumble around in the dark as though there's been a power cut.

Daft!!

Didn't watch SW but a while ago watched a Scandi noir with a beautiful cabin in the woods, which didn't even seem to have curtains/blinds!

felice Wed 24-Jan-18 12:38:06

Am I the only one who gets annoyed during films or TV dramas when a character is in danger, being stalked or threatened perhaps and they never close the curtains at night.
They wander around in lit rooms which any Tom, Dick or Harriet can see straight into.
A trivial matter I suppose, but I noticed it in Silent Witness last night after the man had been rescued from a kidnapper.
Daft ???????
