[QUOTE 2966314, member: 9609"]this has been excellent, best thing on TV at the moment.[/quote]
I thought the 1st series was excellent but this is better.

I like some of the costume dramas but not too much else, I tend to have it on for background noise these days.
BBC 4 has some good stuff.
I used to listen to quite a bit of radio when my kids were young and I'm swaying back to that now.
Someone pass my pipe and slippers

I was listening to Heart on digital this week at work and all the jingles were very old, obscure Radio 1 jingles,recycled

Almost everything is available online now. Record or download, simples.

If anyone liked Lilyhammer try Orange is the new black. Very good and probable a Netflix only unless you know where and how to get it otherwise.

Watch what YOU want to wantch. Let THEM watch what they want to watch. If you dont like it dont watch it, theres always a good book or a bike ride or even the off switch.

And yet libraries are full of books yet shutting all the time!

Yes... it's a shame... although the few times i enter my local library it's always vibrant and bustling, which is nice. However these days the concept of the library seems old fashioned and outdated. One could consider the library as the original 'search engine'... you needed to find something out, go to the library. Now we just search the interweb.

We haven't watch scheduled TV for years, we stream everything from either itunes, netflix or iplayer. Watch what we want and when we want and avoid all the ad's in between shows.

Not a massive watcher of TV myself.

I like the xx farm series, Victorian Farm, War time farm etc and must admit to being a MM lover.

Mrs Aud does watch the utter drivel that is Aussie soaps, which drives me to almost top myself at times.

You've missed out on god knows how many half price sofas.

My 2 female colleagues discuss Corrie and Eastenders as thought they are real. One time they both agreed that the plot in 'Enders was so stupid and far fetched that they both wondered why they watch it, they still do and then turn to me and say 'you see what you are missing' to which I reply 'absolutely nothing' . They think I am weird for not watching soaps or reality shows. Dull boring me prefers comedy shows and going out, I am such a weirdo

'er indores watched EastEnders for years, but then, after complaining incessantly about how it had gone downhill, finally accepted my contention that in that case she might as well stop watching it, and did. That was about a year back, and I don't think she's given it a thought since.

[QUOTE 2969741, member: 9609"]and you think CC and it's inhabitants are real ?[/quote]

I was hoping this was just a fantasy world to dip out of reality for a while

Just seems so depressing, murders, terminal illness, arguing, just pure misery awful awful
