Oh the joys of daytime TV!

[Bodhbh]

Ah the Halcyon Days of non-stop repeats of Ironside, Columbo and The Bold and The Beautiful. Is Neighbours still on at half one? About when I'd be getting out of bed as a student.

My Kodi box was having a moment last night, so i found myself looking at normal TV. I got so frustrated with the ads that I turned it off and went and did some washing.

I won't hear a word said against Come Dine with me!!!

At least I know what my funeral is going to cost
Mrs Paul has just bought a spade and has a smile on her face.

Won't get the famous Parki pen. My

On the Buses is frequently shown on one of the freeview channels (Yesterday I think)

Think of all the detergent ads you missed.

I think its because its mainly the old retired folk who watch TV during the day hence the plethora of brain numbing TV shows. No-one under 40 would want to watch those shows and since you've watched Jeremy Kyle, im surprised you havent wanted to commit suicide yet.

Most OAPs or retired folk i know either have skytv paid for by friends/relatives of freeview and watch the channels with all the old B&W movies on them almost 24hrs a day.

I'm 65 and retired, I don't watch daytime TV

I just turn the TV off now. Makes life a whole lot easier. I dont have to put up with the crap.

This.

I've thought for a while now that daytime TV has been made to try and encourage the unemployed back in to work.

When the op says that they resorted to a book I'm the opposite, I might resort to TV in desperation only if the books run out.

Read a book, listen to the radio, make something, masturbate furiosly, but for god's sake turn the chuffing box off unless there is a specific item of interest. It will sap your brain.

The OP might find one of your suggestions physically sapping aswell, and they are currently ill

Having been at home for this week unable to do a huge amount, I`ve spent a fair time in front of the google box - and how depressing it is!!

Homes under the hammer
Jeremy Kyle
Cash in the Attic
Come dine with me.....etc etc etc

Then there`s the adverts

"You too can sponsor a donkey for just £5 a month"
"The over 50 plan"
"Hotel...............Trivago"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Can`t wait to be feeling better, back to work, and back on my bike, back to normal

Isn't it on ITV3, just after In Loving Memory and before George & Mildred?

Dave Lamb makes the show though.

I'm 66 but still working as retirement is boring. Don't watch daytime tv either.

 

[Saluki]

I`m actually off work ill at the moment, I apologise for not going out running marathons

BBC4 (on iPlayer) had a very good programme on Bonnie & Clyde, if you are interested.

Fair point. Turning those pages is tiring ;-)
