Traffic Cops
Police Interceptors
Parking Wars
The Sheriffs are Coming (actually ANY rubbish BBC morning programme including really dull ones about roads)
Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian

Pretty much anything on Investigation and Discovery or Crime and Investigation especially stuff about serial killers Blush

I watched a few episodes of Dance Moms. I saw the tears and tantrums as the two rival groups prepared for the Big Competition they both just had to win. And then I realised there was a Big Competition every other episode, so it was difficult to care really.

I'm ashamed to say that I watch:

Banged Up Abroad - I'm particularly fascinated by the prison escape episodes. Although one recent episode was so harrowing that I felt quite down and angry afterwards.

Repeats of Gladiators on Challenge

Family Guy

American Dad

And I was addicted to Masterchef Australia for ages. I've no idea why because I'm not really into cooking.

And remembered I like Empire and Star too. They're so far fetched and tacky (both by the same people).

'Just one more thing...'

I used to go into my parents house and they'd have on Monk or Diagnosis Murder and I'd comment along the lines of 'oh ffs, you's watch some crap'. Then I'd find reasons to have to stay a little bit longer because I'd get sucked in and need to see who the murderer was.

Oh and The Father Dowling mysteries I think it was called too......they loved that!

SusanWalker · 05/01/2019 01:55

I watched father Dowling every day when I was on maternity leave years ago.

DD and I love Bondi beach rescue. I like dance moms and I used to love big fat Texas or whatever it was called. Now that was trashy.

I also like a touch of frost and all the poirots, marples and things on itv3.

goose1964 · 05/01/2019 01:55

Ru Paul's drag race, can't believe how much (s) he looks like Tyra Banks

SeptemberIssue · 05/01/2019 02:21

I watch repeat episodes of Who Wants to be a Millionaire quite regularly on challenge, I got to the point where I was actually watching clips on YouTube Confused .. a few of the chasers from the chase were on it actually!

The Royal & Heartbeat, to a lesser extent. I know they are so very twee, but I just love imagining what life was like in those times Blush

costacoffeecup · 05/01/2019 08:54

I watch neighbours every day.

I like re-runs of inspector morse on itv3.

I also have a soft spot for an Island Parish when it's on.

I don't watch anything like I'm a celeb or love island anymore - I don't think you can be embarrassed by them though as everyone watches them!
