Top Ten Cliches In Documentaries

They do normal things and act like nobody's done it before. And I'm telling you, saying "I caught APLANE travelling 5000 MILES into THE HEART of the USA! " is as captivating and unique as "I WALKED around THE BLOCK and came through the AUTOMATIC DOORS at the LOCAL MORRISON'S and set foot in the BUSY AND ALIVE VEGETABLE AISLE! "

Some of these people just stare blankly at the camera for hours and they edit it out; I'm sure. And some of them are just studio donut boys, I'm also certain about that.

Save them a lot of cash and time, and frankly, I probably wouldn't do great with all the jet lag.

Oh you should hear my Father effing and blinding about this: "We pay our T.V. licence just so some jumped up little bimbo can have a free holiday to tell us what a marvellous time she's having looking at turtles! " He could spout for England about this. I just close my eyes and ears and think about...something else...

Yeah. They can really be this stupid.

"1+1=2 because 1 and 1 are the same number, they've been added together, so it has to be one place UP on the number line. So if we move right a bit on the diagram, by just one place, we get 2! "

Excuse me? David Attenborough made nature documentaries good! Nobody compares when it comes to those.
