[Lizzie Zoom]

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. 

I think that applies to all of them really.

Apparently, farming doesnt happen now in Emmerdale Farm.

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!

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

Oh yes, bless them!

I believe a few have been assaulted for an on screen affair.

Jeeze, your life must be depressing if you need that sort of mindless escapism

No, quite the opposite as I laugh at many of the story lines, and when these soaps are on, which millions of us women watch (along with men who deny it, but do) we are not having to watch boring football, motor racing, rugby, etc!

[TheBoy]

I don't actually watch much telly. And when I do, I'm usually on here etc.  I'm currently watching Convoy 3 or some such shit with Chuck Norris.

[STEMO]

I've just watched three episodes of 'Bangers and cash' back to back, but even that's getting a bit samey.

Drivel , utter drivel for the magnolia masses .

Nothing wrong with magnolia! 

[Varche]

Two words crop up throughout this thread.

Utter

Shite.

Opiate of the masses rather than get involved in real issues or factual tv.

[Doctor Gollum]

Tiger King anyone?

But what a great way to earn a living, they certainly get a wide choice of vehicles .

or factual tv.

Dunno about Spain, but we ain't got that in the UK, as well you know.  The traditional "factual" stuff has been replaced with "outrage" stuff, to appeal to trailer trash.  And the UK news is about as accurate as RT...

Skruntie started this thread.

After sorting all the tins in his kitchen cupboard into alphabetical order he likes to relax with a bit of Corrie. 

[Mr Skrunts]

Yer right Opti I did start the thread. 

All I can say is what I allways said about Mary Whitehouse (Think that was her name)  You dont like it then dont watch it.

Coronation Street cant be all that bad considering the amount of time its been running.

I'm not picking on Corrie. They are all equally bad.

I prefer a good documentary.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I don't know the exact statistics but I'd guess the vast majority of soap viewers (probably 80%) are old women over 60.
