How often do you watch TV together as a family?

I just realised we only ever watch things like new episodes of GOT/Vikings/whatever together.

So maybe once a week.

Otherwise it might be just DS16 trawling the channels, or DH and I watching something. And sometimes we're all watching different things in various devices.

We never watch films. Would go to cinema maybe once a year (trying to find anything worth watching that we all wanted to see being the biggest hurdle there!)

It's just when I was growing up, we used to watch telly after dinner until bedtime, things like EastEnders, The Gladiators, family fortunes, antiques roadshow, last of the summer wine, casualty... EVERY SINGLE DAY ...

and it's always nice it laugh or recoil together and share the moments.

Not regularly at all. DD is 13 and prefers watching before dinner (that’s around 7pm in our house) as she prefers to read in bed or listen to music.

DH and I don’t watch a lot at all Andy less it is something we really want to see the TV may be off for a week or so.

We do watch movies on Netflix on weekend afternoons but I find it hard finding one we all like.

My 17 year old will occasionally suggest a film to watch together, maybe once a month? My daughter and I watch a few episodes of whatever box set we are doing every night.
