Thanks for the comments, I am not critisising anyone who watches the programmes I don't, I just get annoyed that people don't believe that I have never watched them. So much is just fodder for the masses that it is difficult finding anything worth watching particularly that has not been repeated again and again.
I don't watch a lot of TV at all at the moment. I like to see gardening programs occasionally, Panorama and Horizon, and various crime series- Dalbuie, the gorier the better! In the daytime I have radio4 on whether I am listening or not. I would rather read, thank heavens for the library.
must confess my tv is mostly on if i'm in like today sky discovery & history channels mostly sad or what
dont like to put a dampener on this but i watch corrie never miss it and Neighbors everyday but not eastenders used to but rubbish now never watched emerdale or hollyoaks wont go anywhere near them, but sometimes i watch doctors during the week. sorry to spoil it for yous but i am the one that watches them and love em too :eek: :D
ok i'l hold my hands up i watch corrie & emerdale never eastenders but only cos nothing else on at that time well thats my excuse
Interesting! You know sometimes you have those conversations when people come out with feeble excuses for watching soaps because they don't want to admit they just LIKE them!! Last time I got involved in one of these I found myself coming out with my reasons for NOT watching soaps! :D It's quite simple - I think life is too short to watch soap operas!! If you once start, you want to see what happens in the next episode, and the next, and the next...and before you know where you are, you are arranging your timetable round the soap operas! :( So I just don't bother to watch ANY. (I don't listen to THE ARCHERS either).
I started watching Neighbours when the Social Services office where I worked moved just up the road from me. I then used to pop home to eat my sandwich and have a cuppa and watch it just get away from the office and to take my mind off some of the stressful things we had to deal with, often included child-abuse and wife-beating etc etc. So here I am ten years retired and still watching Neighbours when I can. Also watch some football - this Friday the England game - Alan Hansen AND Becks :D Sad or what?
and why not dave just cos we watch soaps doesnt mean to say we are sad but you could be a little for watching emerdale :eek: :D everthing stops for me when they come on and dave you will be off soon cos emderdale will be on soon then im off for corrie :eek: :D
I must say I find it astonishing (although not unbelievable, as I have a good friend who makes the same claim) that anybody living for any length of time in the UK and owning a TV would never once have caught an episode of Coronation Street considering the length of time it has been on the box and in which scores of murders, robberies, extra-marital affairs and even a sex-change have taken place in one tiny area of Lancashire- Ena Sharples would have choked on her milk stout! Mind, I never once sat through an episode of Crossroads and when people talk about the characters in programmes like Cheers or Friends as if I should look upon them as intimate acquaintances I'm totally flummoxed as I've never watched these either.
I will admit to having seen some television, however that was before I got my first PC in about 1984 or '85. I seem to recall Crossroads was also known as "Spot the Actor", from all accounts that could now apply to far more programmes.
Hi I must be really boring as I love Emmerdale best. Corrie is OK and Eastenders in my opinion is very depressing. It did get on my nerves on Emmerdale when the murder of Tom King went on and on too much for me I also like watching spooky films. Jazz :eek:
I watch deadliest catch, dr. who, lottery draws and gw. Oh and i just discovered paul merton in china. Apart from that it's movies through the winter. and i'm in the garden in the summer. i listen to radio and sundays alan titchmarsh can't be beaten.
