Pardon me Curly1_ while I walk to the other side of the street! YUK! Soaps are for cleaning, cooking is for eating not verbal diarrhoea, american 'romance' movies are facile, what is "restauration"?

A good Hitchcock one, or an old black and white horror, Metropolis, great for Halloween?

I also like documentaries, true stories, I watch YouTube when I got time, worship music from Bethel, and good Christian channels! But I watch all sorts on BBC iPlayer if its sensible or educational! Also medical programs interest me about Surgeons advanced operations and Ambulance Service! But I also like my Bible app, you version, keeps me sane!๐Ÿ’ž

Certain Detective and certain quiz shows, something you can use your brains to figure out, please NOT cookery, SCD/DWTS, who decides who are 'comedians' or 'celebrities' anyway? A decent movie, not smothered in computer special effects, an old comedy one, even a spaghetti western!

Not having a television at all, and watching it on Netflix, I find it amusing. My wife, not being British, finds it quite an insight into British characters.

I loved the presumption in the question that everybody has a television.

Adlon57 in reply to BrentW

You are not really missing much, a couple of years ago, my big sister was up in arms, she was being charged for a tv licence, she does not watch even now, she likes her gardening and keeping up with the 'Archers' on the radio! Gogglebox does NOT represent the true British character [I hope not?]

I LOVE Strictly! Other favourites are travel, nature, and drama, e.g Roadkill & Life. Confess a BIG weakness for home makeovers, esp. Jasmine at present, Flip or Flop, & Fixer-Upper. The Americans can be a bit wearing, but these are v clever.

Bring back the REALLY old horror movies, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Metropolis, Plan 9 from Outer Space [really a horribly made, comedy, low budget 'horror movie'?], that sort of thing?

Some of the older ones are actually better than the newer splatter flicks, that is not saying much though. I am done with Halloween 1,2,3 & 4. same with Freddy the slicer.

I said right at the beginning of the pandemic that I wanted to emigrate, a typical reply "bye bye"! Sure my reply to Curly_1 was rather rude, sorry! but the want to emigrate from this British society has widened, that typical view, hit a nerve, if I could emigrate I would do right now, but my overall health and my isolation during this pandemic are doing myself no good mentally and physically and quite frankly no light at the end of the tunnel!

I forgot to say that I love Jailhouse Rock. In fact I love all of Elvises Films.

He wasn't a particularly good actor, but Boy could he sing. From Gospel to Jazz or Rock & Roll. He was one of a kind.

I like Christmas films.

My tastes are simple โ€”โ€” Corrie and Emmerdale ( a bit of fictional normality) and thank God for Friends and The Big Bang Theory. I can almost recite every episode but they still make me laugh.

I was watching the Great British Bake Off the other day and cried because it was so sentimental. I adore this show. I also like sci-fi fantasy (like star trek) to get me out of my head. Thanks.
