EastEnders tops 2007's TV ratings
Rik:
Even with the hundreds of channels available to me on Sky, Simon, it's not uncommon to find nothing I want to watch. My prime motivation for having Sky is that they have the rugby...

You call lost great acting and complex storylines!!!!!!!
Awa yi go, Sandra. I've never watched such rubbish in years. These programmes even make Corrie look believable. :P
Rik:
Seconds out - Round Two. ;)
Sandra:
I wouldnt pay for any services Simon, only the hardware which allows me to watch more than terrestrial limits me to :)
My new satellite box is another type of pc so its probably extending my hobby, especially as its Linux based, more than enabling me to watch TV as I dont really have much spare time to watch TV.
@Lona, I think you are missing the point, soap stars arent real life people, they are poor actors who act out poorly written scripts.
I know that people send babyclothes to the TV studios when the plot has someone in who is pregnant and when I lived in Washinton my MP was the idiot who stood up in the house of commons and demanded that Deirde should be freed :o
Such people realy do think they are watching real life as its happening ::)
Programs such as Lost, Jericho and Prison Break are not trying to reflect real life but are well written fantasy and fictional stories that because of the standards of acting and the quality of the writers can make you believe that what you are watching is indeed plausible even if it is not real :)

This is the problem television stations have, trying to buy programmes that the majority will watch. Which ones will give them the greatest returns in ratings and advertising revenue, plus having to balance that with programmes that are cost effective. I'm not sure what the laws are in the UK, but having to satisfy local content regulations as well.
Peoples personal tastes isn't a reflection on anything other than their personal tastes.
