is one of my (many) pet hates. Factual programmes do not need booming voiceovers. It's particularly notable in natural world stuff, despite the most famous and (I assume popular) examples being Attenborough's understated "here is an animal, here is some footage of the animal, here are some interesting facts about the animal" approach.
This penchant for the "EXTREEEME!" has a lot to answer for.
