Title: Knobenders - do you watch
Post by: TheBoy on 27 November 2007, 16:51:08
Right, the beeb reckon that 15m watch this trash. Assuming population is 60m is, thats 1 in 4 of every man/woman/child watches it.

So, an unscientific study...

Do you, personally, watch it. Honest answers, don't be embarrassed, and votes will remain hidden.

Seeing as by the bbc stats sat 1 in 4, and the 2.4 kids stat, that means every single household should have it on.  So this is if your PERSONALLY watch it...

Everyone has a choice. My gripe is the amount of our fee goes towards this programme due to viewing figures, yet these figures are obviously wrong.

No way in this world do 1 in 4 people on this Island have a labotomy to watch such trash.

This is my point and the reason for this poll.  How can a panel of 244 people be used as a decent survey? NO WAY in this world do they get 1 in 4 of every man, woman and child to watch it.  A quick poll in the office here shows about 1 in 25 occasionally watch it.

No from me. I can't imagine ever being bored enough to watch rubbish like that (meaning 90% of BBC output, not just Beastenders).

I heard someone on the radio talking about "all the requests" they're getting to put Eldorado back on too. Give me strength!

Oh, and the proportion of the licence fee they're not spending on making rubbish programs goes no re-inventing the streaming-over-the-internet video player about a decade after everyone else >:(

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Kevin Wood would go spare, I'd do without a TV. Then again, she spends most of her time playing WOW.  :-/

i will say though, how the hell can they all be having affairs behind each other's backs when they all live in the same damn street and meet up with their "lovers" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOODY SQUARE!!!

yeah i've seen a couple of episodes!!! ::)

Deano wicks got a kicking while in prison, and his dad is unknowingly selling stolen cars on the lot courtesy of phil mitchell, he sold a Jag yesterday to a cop!!

all soaps and reality TV are banned in our house, a rule that was set down by SWMBO  :y :y

Suits me down to the ground, cant stand the crap, it is not typical of my life or anyone elses that i know.....

and as for reality TV, what's real about it, most of the people who are on these shows are either failed/washed out stars or no hopers who believe they have an iota of talent   :-/

Even though the poll is closed - I don't watch this tripe, I have enough things going on in my own life to not give a cr*p about what some prat has written as supposedly being life in the East of London, Yorkshire, Wetherfield... wherever!!

But if other people enjoy this kind of thing, then that is fine - as previosly said, if we all did the same things life would be a bit drab.

I'm with TheBoy - What a load of sh1te. (applies to all soaps)
