A third of Brits are looking forward to cosy nights in to binge watch their favourite TV programmes according to new research from, Manhattan TV, the UK-owned manufacturer of set-top boxes. And Manhattan TV’s data reveals that Brits are in agreement when it comes to their top telly watching faux-pas, namely chatterboxes - 90% of Brits admit to wanting to sit in silence whilst watching their favourite shows.
14% of Brits admit that they are most irritated when their partner watches an episode of their favourite show without them, and 20% said friends accidentally sharing an ending was their greatest irritation.
A third of us agree that scrolling through social media for spoilers is seriously frowned upon, even though over a half of us (61%) admit to being on our phones whilst watching television. It seems that programmes aren’t keeping our attention, as over a quarter (28%) admit to regularly falling asleep during a show.
