EastEnders tops 2007's TV ratings
GillE:
I'd like to think that television was about educating and bringing us new ideas as well as entertainment. Sadly, entertainment seems to be the priority, and it's not very good entertainment at that. If only the executives would put the same resources into more stimulating and informative programmes. It seems as if Open University-type broadcasts are the only sort of television I like nowadays.
Except for Strictly Come Dancing, but we all have our weaknesses :) .
Rik:
Bring back 'The Ascent of Man' - it's what television was invented for!

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.

Ofcourse Soap stars aren't real life people and anyone who thinks they are are truly simple minded but as regards poor actors and poorly written scripts you are in the minority here, Sandra.
Not every episode is great but there are some really fine actors and there have been exceptionally well written scripts down through the years. You have to take it as what it's meant to be and enjoy it for what it is.
As for Lost, and prisonbreak, they started off being interesting then ended up so farcical, even the actors can't believe just where Lost is going. I haven't watched Jericho so can't comment.
Your taste in television and mine strongly differ as I would never sit all morning watching little cars going round and round a race track. Now that's what I really call BORING. :P

Watch rugby, Lona, 30 men piling into each other is much more fun. ;)

Only sport I watch is Wimbledon, snooker and I like a good boxing match, especially if it's Ricky Hatton.
