Does the rule apply on forumite

If you want to talk soaps JB go ahead although East Enders may be pushing it in my humble opinion ?

I dont mind a bit of corrie, I watch the early ones from the 80’s when there on at 6 in the morning and I’ll tune in to the new ones when there ready to finally kill off pat. I dont mind emmerdale either. Some times they do some realy good stunts in it such as the plane crash, helicopter crash, explosions etc… I use to drink in the woolpack when I had a pub near there but it’s nothing like it his on TV inside, outside is the same, post office across road etc…

Heartbeat I am a fan of. I collect bit’s and bobs from the program and I am building the box set up bit by bit. “Aidansfield Arms” not sure of it’s proper name now but a very expensive drink. I have been to gophland a few times and it’s a pleasant place.

The Royal I also liked but I am funny about watching programs that involve hospitals or medical theme’s.

I have also been watching and recording London Burning on Drama and that’s been superb. Plenty of action in it but again it’s a little like watching a Medical program with all the injuries and so on. They did put The early episodes of “The Bill” on drama not so long ago and then it stopped and went back to the 2000 era.

Not dramas, but I have also been recording old films of Film4, things from 40’s on wards. It’s relaxing sometimes watching an old western or war film and often helps me chill on evening if I am stressed which is often. I watched Colditz last night.

Sure. I just watch them though to get out of modern times. A bit like listening to my Football on a sw/mw valve radio. Any opportunity I get to turn of the tech and revert back to a time before I was even born the better.

Not a soap, but SWMBO and I are both fans of Scandinavian detective series e.g. The Bridge, Modus etc. They do however suffer from sub-title fatigue – thank heavens for the pause button.

When we want to see the way the French handle trouble-makers (old style rubber truncheon and or Glock) then Spiral takes a lot of beating as do the suspects. Guilty until proved innocent thats the way to do it!

SWMBO is completely lost in Call The Midwife atm, never misses it.

I love mostly drama, good cop stuff like Shetland (it’s different to the rest) Strike, Collateral and Line of Duty. Documentaries, History.

Ditto for Last of the Summer Wine and I still watch old episodes now.

Almost a mirror image of me Bob ?

– I also like the French (English sub-titled) “Spiral”, various Scandi and the US “Longmire”cop series.

Luckily Call The Midwife has just finished again ?

Bob, if you want to watch a good wildlife program tonight – see Channel 5’s Wild Britain : Our Wondrous Woodlands @ 9.00 tonight – this week it is the wonderful (not that I am biased ?) Forest Of Dean (definitely badgers, wild boars and goshawks [and possibly deer])

I don’t have sky or the like. I run my TV’s through Tvheadend and Kodi and record all sorts mostly from film4 through the day London’s burning on drama and other misc stuff including Marple when she is on. Once the hard drive is full I put a new one in.

Wild at heart is another I liked which will be due to be put itv 3 again soon but if I really like something for example poiret, Heartbeat, Sherlock holemes with Jeremy Brett, yes prime minister/minister or poridge I will buy on DVD.

I also have all the Fred Dibnah documentries I believe.
