I can't tell you how happy DH and I were when we discovered a new 'Cruising with Jane McDonald'.Blush The Australian one. We have started the first episode.
It's such shite but we just love it!
Also have a giggle trying to guess the song she will sing at the end...Grin

The Real Housewives of anywhere. I love all of them but the Beverly Hills and Cheshire ones are most definitely my favourites. I should be ashamed. (But I'm not).

Oh god. Botched. Oh god, oh god. The things people do to themselves! Terrifying. I'm just going to stay ugly.

longwayoff · 07/01/2019 19:17

Oh, had forgotten. There's a warring neighbours programme, Australian I think, where they call in a local councillor (yes, not a counsellor) to mediate petty disputes about hedges etc. This is not the American one where the neighbours are all axe wielding psychos, it's a lot gentler And nobody has an axe. Or a gun. And the voiceover is very funny. Neighbours at War?

MotherofPearl · 07/01/2019 19:26

Love it or List it with Phil & Kirsty.

It's so naff and repetitive, but I find it compulsive. Blush

scarbados · 07/01/2019 19:28

Midsomer Murders. Even the ones with the unbearable Joyce Barnaby and the episodes I've already seen billionty times.

Plot holes you could drive a bus through, no recognisable police procedures or protocol, dubious acting and predictable scripts. Bliss! Blush

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 07/01/2019 19:37

Scandal.

I'll never admit to watching that in RL.

rednsparkley · 07/01/2019 19:43

Another lover of Say Yes to the Dress here - particularly the Atlanta version, I love Monte and Lori 😍
Also been binging on Shadowhunters on Netflix - my god it is terrible but I keep watching 😳
On Food Network I watch Pioneer Woman and marvel at her life, Barefoot Contessa for Ina's general madness and Diners, Drive-ins & Dives to see how fat Guy is going to get. It has replaced Man V Food for me now that Adam is a skinny vegan.

KeyboardplayerXXX · 07/01/2019 19:44

Where the Heart is. Late 90s to mid 2000s drama. About district nurses and a loo roll or paper factory if I recall! Pam Ferris, Leslie Ash, Sarah Lancashire were in it and it's sometimes repeated on ITV3. Just love/ed it!

MrsJayy · 07/01/2019 19:52

Scandal was amazing it was bonkers I was sad when it ended.

MrsJayy · 07/01/2019 19:53

New say yes to the dress Atlanta starts on Wednesday night

user1457017537 · 07/01/2019 19:54

I loved Deadliest Catch
The classic car programme with Wayne Corroni
Can’t stand American Pickers his voice just grates on me and it’s such a lot of shite

ipswichwitch · 07/01/2019 19:57

I’ve admitted to watching all of the following IRL; I have no shame 😂:

Murder, she wrote (quality telly!)
Diagnosis Murder (agree with op who said Dick Van Dyke and do whatever he likes as far as I’m concerned)
Come dine with me (love the voice over guy)
Ex in the beach (another good voice over guy)
Geordie Shore (tashing on and getting mortal, what’s not to like?!)

Rarfy · 07/01/2019 20:08

@CarolDanvers he never ages!!!

What on earth is going on with Ronnie he needs to sort himself our.

EastMidsGPs · 07/01/2019 20:22

Say Yes To The Dress particularly the Atlanta one. The brides are so young, the friends and family generally so bitchy and unkind! And don't get me started on the controlling fiances who add their tenpenny worth.
Am fascinated by the odd bloke running SYTTD Ireland, his lapel badges are something else.
Yes, the Curvy Brides women are wonderful and so kind.

Paternity Court
People's Court
Judge Judy

Cat Fish

Toddlers and Tiaras 😱😱😱😱

Escape To The Country - one of my guinea pigs loves this (the other one prefers cricket and football) why do couples who claim to be 'downsizing' always want a mega huge kitchen with island?? I am gobsmacked at the tiny details that make some of the houses unsuitable. AND why do they want to move somewhere they know nothing about??
If I had 1 million to spend I am sure I wouldn't need a TV presenter to find me the house of my dreams

please please where can i find Dr Phil these days?

jollyjester · 07/01/2019 20:30

Soldier soldier - love a bit of vintage Robson and Jerome

Bramwell
Bad Girls

I swear I'm the only person who watches the Drama channel!! Grin
