TV: Watchdog - PUNNED TO DEATH

Christ almighty, will someone please tell the team at Watchdog to go easy on the puns! Monday's show reached an almost unbearable level of pun-ishment (oops, sorry), with over 5 puns per report. Now I understand that some serious subjects need to be presented with a little bit of Pathos to lighten the mood, but this was ridiculous. There really is no need for it, and to be honest, the humour seems to devalue the seriousness the of the material they are presenting. Whoever edits the programme should realise that the general public can find a subject interesting, without presenting it like an article in The Sun.
