They don't do your spelling any good, either. ;)

I used to watch Dallas. Lord know why. Just to be different, probably.

Ena, her vassels, Albert & Minnie in the snug, nursing a bottle of stout, waiting to ambush Elsie Tanner was a sight to behold.

yup, agree.

All far too serious and driving political correctness and virtue signalling. I stopped watching them years ago to be honest, dipped in and out a few times when the media makes a hype about a story line and I get my curiosity pricked a little, but generally they're poor these days.

Oh no Tim, you need help. ;) Gogglebox??? A programme about people watching TV. They really scraped the barrel when they invented that one. Who the hell ever had the idea that a programme showing people watching telly would be a good idea? The next step will be a programme showing people watching Gogglebox*.

*Don't tell me - it's already been done I suppose.

I'm going to invent a programme called Lawnwatchers - it'll be about people watching grass grow.

Agree. I gave up on TV soaps some years ago......though the Coronation Street of the 80's was great comedy. It's not for me now.

Still some great comedy on the Street - different than it used to be but I still enjoy it.
