talk you through, explain and commentate a programme or film to you when it's a) blatently obvious what is happening in the programme and you're more than capable of following it without help or
b) you're not interested
Know anyone like that?

I thought that was just me because I look a bit 'special needs'. Do you look a bit 'special needs' too?

This is obviously a person that thinks a great deal about you.
By engaging in this behaviour, they hope to build their relationship with you by emphasizing the shared experience.
It's almost like they are saying "hey, we are both watching this show, isn't that great; I love spending time with you"
This is a person that while they may bug the hell out of you, is keen to get closer to you.
They probably don't realise that it bothers you or that they are doing it that much.
They think the world of you; tell them that you find it hard to follow the plot if they talk too much, but try to be sensitive to their feelings.

Yes, they are called 'commentators' or 'pundits' when you want to watch any sport and you can see perfectly well what is going on, especially ice skating and you're not allowed to enjoy the sport because of these talk overs. Most of the time we suffer in silence by turning the sound off completely.

I think some people feel the need to let you know that they know what's going on, probably because they are insecure about their intellect in comparison to yours.
Likewise someone who asks whats going on when they've been watching exactly what you have has either not understood the plot and doesn't mind asking or doesn't realise that it is part of the plot to keep you guessing.
That's my experience anyway!

I agree, it gets on my paps as well, especially when I am watching an intellectually challenging programme like Big Brother, and I have to concentrate

Oh yes I know people like that. I think that actually they're explaining it to themselves.
What really annoys me is programmes like Dragon's Den, where the voiceover WITHIN the programme explains to you what has just happened:
Theo: "I'm out"
Voiceover: "Theopopalopasofodes has just declared himself out. Now Peter Jones wants to find out what his turnover is."
Peter: "What's your turnover?"
AAAARRRRGH!

Lots of people do that. Maybe they just wanna show off that they know the film, or It could be that they're just so excited and they want to share that excitement with you.

People want you to feel good whilst in their company.
They might care about you.
They explain even obvious things because they worry you don't know them yourself.
You need to tell them to relax.
