[Mr Skrunts]

Dot Cotton was the female version of Albert Steptoe a comment made by Dr Opti in the other thread

Got me thinking of other stars

Old man Steptoe was a classic
Lenard Rossiter in Rising Damp

Nora Batty
Nellie pickersgill
Hilda Ogden
Ena Sharples



So many

They dont make shows like they used to.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Jean Alexander was a superb actress. She was nothing like Hilda Ogden in real life.
Swmbo still watches Corie for reasons unknown, and these days its like a brainwashing programme for whichever left wing cause is most fashionable this week. 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I would literally watch paint dry than watch a soap.

Utter utter shite.

[Keith ABS]

  Several years ago I thought that Eastenders was finished for good after the BBC announced that every dull and dreary character was to be axed. We still have that shite polluting the air waves

[Sir Tigger KC]

Not a soap star, but a TV classic that we don't see any more.

Drivel , utter drivel for the magnolia masses .

I think that applies to all of them really.

Apparently, farming doesnt happen now in Emmerdale Farm.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Which might be why they dropped Farm from the title a long time ago.
Swmbo also watches it  and yes, its the same as Corrie,even has almost identical storylines, with a different backdrop.
Utter shite.

[STEMO]

Dangerous utter shite. The kebab and red bull brigade get to see all the current social issues handled 'sympathetically'. Brainwashed without even realising it.

[Rangie]

I'm becoming really fed up with the utter shite that is offered on television at present, hate soaps & can honestly say that I have never watched any reality programmes hate these people that crave their fifteen minutes of fame, some even resort for more attention by attempting suicide or becoming anorexic to draw attention to themselves because they're not famous enough, total crap..

Sheep shagging farmers are not required in 2022.

Diversity and inclusion is.

Oh yes it is, alive and kicking on Moira Dingle 's farm, with also the rest of the Dingle clan having a small pig enclosure outside their home.

You really should get up to date!

These soaps may have poor scripts and seem daft, but they are an escape from the real world for the 30 or 60 minutes they are on. It is a way of watching other 'people' making the mistakes we all make.

Cannot stand EastEnders though;  far too depressing with always criminal, murderous intent.  The once funny moments have long gone!

I thought Emmerdale farm was wiped out by a plane crash......

They're not going to miss an opportunity like Ukraine, Emmerdale will be nuked by Vladolf.

Unfortunately there are viewers of this rubbish who think that the characters are all too real.
