I watch the local news from 6 - 7 pm, followed by a brief look at a national news programme and another at BBC World News ............ the tv is turned off by about 7:15 pm


That's it!


I haven't watched a tv show at home in at least 10 years.


When we're staying in hotels, we will sometimes turn on the TV at about 9 pm and see if we can find a documentary that is interesting.

L;iz.........

I watched the production of Hamlet, performed by Downs Syndrome actors.
Was on my way to bed, but got drawn into it.

I was very impressed, not only by how well they acted out the 14 performances, but also by how well they handled personal, and sensitive issues in their private lives.
Although I did feel the camera was a little too intrusive at times.

Well done to the actors, and to the Blue Apple Theatre Co, who guided and encouraged them through their difficulties.

I don't watch much tv, that program sounds awful.

Talking of tv programmes, did anyone watch the programme on bbc1 last evening about young Down's Syndrome Actors putting on Hamlet. It was really good and many of them were really articulate and clever and very independent.

I loved the programme, great to see them at Blue Apple Theatre company.

Well, I like to watch the evening news, but if I have to forego it, it's nearly the same the next night anyway. Our weather-girl gets me very distracted with talk of large fronts etc.

I record loads of programmes that I love, lots of documentaries and things that are on when something else is on which o. h. wants to watch. Also some programmes are impossible to watch with o.h. because he gets angry and shouts at the tv

I do juggle things I want to do to fit with fav programmes sometimes

After fruitless bodging through endless channels and finding nothing but c**p, repeats or adverts, no...

The occasional thing comes up that I like (e.g. Wolf Hall) but there's always catch-up if I miss it.

I'm not addicted to TV but we do subscribe to Netflix and my kids are addicted...

My two younger daughters sat and watched every single episode of Pretty Little Liars until they caught up with current US TV showings.
There are roughly 25 x1hr episodes in every series

It took them less than 2 weeks to watch all the episodes up the middle of series 5, when they caught up with current TV schedules.

If I hear that intro music just one more time... ( Got A Secret, Can You Keep It.)..I'll scream!

Perhaps it's because I can record programmes that I don't think about any programmes I am addicted to.

Thinking back mind...........I would have pushed a granny off the bus to make sure I got home in time to watch episodes of "Roots" and "The Thorn Birds"

I have them both on dvd now.
